 |
|
I made a mistake trying to open the science lab anatomical model and the shoulder piece broke.
About an hour later, the message got to me that the science teacher said that I must pay 2 million won to replace the entire model.
I didn't come here with any kind of insurance.
I offered to pay to have it fixed, but the science said that they must a new one.
Help!! |

| There is no way in hell you have to pay that. If push comes to shove, walk away from this job. |

Your offer to pay for a repair was adequate. If they try and withhold money from your salary for that, tell them that will "force you to leave" the job.
If I were you I would have a quiet and controlled talk with the principal about this BEFORE your next payday. |

| The science teacher isn't your boss. Deal with the right person. |

| No bones about it, go see the principal. You shouldn't have to shoulder this. |

| I don't understand why you would be mucking about with equipment that is not part of your job, but I think paying for repair is adequate. |

You broke it.

If somebody at school broke your laptop what would you expect?
Pay up and stop whining like a bitch. |

He has offered to fix it. What they are demanding now is a NEW one. It's like breaking your mouse and now you're demanding you buy him a new laptop. They keep both. Not exactly reasonable.
Offer again to pay to repair it. If they refuse, then you know they are trying to fleece you.

| And you would trust them to tell you the correct cost of 'repair'? |

Perhaps if he does have to pay, he should find a new job and leave that joint. |
