Search button doesn't seem to be working on this site for me, and anything through Google shows up advice some years old.

I have a friend that has been in Korea some 6 weeks now and landed herself in a position that the other teachers report she's the 4th teacher in a year. The teacher that stayed the longest before her lasted 4 months.

I'd like to help her get a different job entirely. Can anyone point me to relative recent threads with breaking contract advice or offer any here for us?

Thanks in advance!

No earthly idea what the name of the school is, didn't ask her. I just know it's one of those one-school deals about an hour and a half from Seoul. =) I'll ask her Sunday if I see her then, it's a bit hit and miss sometimes.

~L~ Anyone I've known for 5 weeks is only an acquaintance, but people usually get offended with this distinction. If she was a friend, I would have known here much longer and so been able to clear the roads for her before she got stuck in a position like that. As it was, I was in shoulder mode and unaware of the 'name the school' demand here. I shall return with a school name when I've the opportunity.

People usually don't name places of employment until after they have left, might be their boss reading this, you never know?

Thread was quite obvious: OP was too lazy to do a simple search, and instead of simply naming the school she took off like a coward. Lame.

that's kinda harsh, dude. if you check her posting history, you'll see that she only posts once in awhile anyways.

Pulling a runner is really the only option it seems like. Go get the new documents
