hours from heading to the airport the boss gave my fellow teacher her "retirement"/13th month bonus.

she was naturally planning on the full 2.0+ amount. one little thing- the boss deducted a full years worth of taxes out of the last check. ouch.

lotsa little nickle and dime stuff as well. seems she gets about half of what she thought she was coming.

her burn is my foreshadowing. i will plan accordingly.

steal a laptop if they pull that sort of thing

Steal a laptop, break some windows, break some bones, spit in the face of your wongjonnim the day he pulls that on you.

post the name of the school so others can avoid this dump

So, had taxes been deducted from her pay throughout the year?

[mistermasan]

he had told her/us that taxes would be taken care of by him. apparently he took care of them by collecting all of the taxes at once, literally hours from departing.

[Atavistic]

Ha, like he's actually going to pay those taxes.

If I were you, I'd call tax, pension, and health. Because if he's taking care of taxes, then you've been paying them (or he's been paying them on your behalf), right?

[saw6436]

Taxes and Death, the only sure things in life. Your co-teacher just thought she was gonna avoid paying taxes. Sucks to be her.

Thieving Korean-what's the school again?

[mistermasan]

not at liberty to reveal such while still in the line of fire. i know who/where the "on deck" teacher is.

How will she be able to apply for her tax refund if she's overseas?
