As I was walking out of my hagwon today, my director gave me an envelope of Christmas bonus cash: 250,000 won and told me not to tell the Korean teachers. I am still shocked.

Well good for you.

It's curious that he didn't give it to the Korean teachers. Did you get a Chusok/Sul-nal bonus?

Anyhow have fun with your cash.

I think at our school, The korean teachers got the goodies. Like I saw our boss gesturing in the korean teachers but not us.. Sad

Perhaps, the Korean teachers received more.

a korean teacher at my high school told me that all the teachers there get an annual bonus of 900% of a months wage.. thinking he screwed his english up a bit i asked again and again, every time he answered it was the same thing.. does this sound right? i mean.. we think we are doing well getting a months bonus at the end of the year.. we are getting screwed

900%? It sounds to me that it's more like 90%
Have him tell you the % number in Korean.

900%

Imagine the damage I could do with a bonus like that! The possibilities are endless. My bonus is nothing in comparison to that.

Is this real? Could it be real? Confused
