 |
|
I've been hearing about some horrible jobs lately. One of them was offered to a friend - adult teaching from 6.30 am (or it could even have been 6  ) to 8.30 or 9pm then 6pm to 9pm BUT wait for this, there were kiddie classes in between!
Honestly, employers who offer those kinds of schedules need a swift boot up the arse and a total boycott of their business. The pay was 2.2 millon won.  I don't know what time the kiddie classes were or how many of them there were but these employers sound scummy.
But foreigners who do these jobs make me wonder even more. I know there are some desperate people out there but why would you encourage such exploitation by even considering being interviewed for this kind of garbage? |

Plenty of 3D foreigners here, and I don't mean the Nepalese factory workers on 1 million a month (who after 3 years can go back home quite wealthy), I mean English teachers in debt.

This doesn't mean they are teaching those hours. The school wants the availability. My current school sometimes has me come in at 10:30 and leave at 8pm. Then next day I might have a 4pm-7pm shift. In the end it works out. Check the total number of classes you have to teach, don't focus on the hours. |

Indeed.
But this crappy job that my friend turned down of course (refused to interview, said it was below him in terms of pay and condition because of his resume and he was right) asked the teacher to go off and teach pre schoolkids AFTER adult classes that started at 6am or 6.30pm.
So this sounds like the schedule: 6am/6.30am - Teach adults til 9.00 or 9.30am, teach kindie kids at 10 am or 11am, probably for two hours or so, then teach adults again at 6.30pm to 9.30pm. For 2.2 million won. And 5 days vacation in summer, 5 days in winter.
Is this Wonderland? Or any other chain you recognise? I've only ever taught for the family hagwons and I've been lucky apart from some nonsense about late pay and vacation conflicts occasionally. The hagwons I've worked for have always had reasonable starting times and working times, no split shifts. |

Sounds like someone new to the business out to "make his/her mark".
They'll probably get someone (desparate enough or dumb enough) to work those hours for a while,
but chances are pretty good for a runner or at least a leave early with notice. |
