| It's usually not that you need to find a replacement. They'll simply be angry that you're leaving. If they're very understanding, they might be satisfied that you find a replacement, but more often they'll do one or more of the following: try to bully you by not paying you in part or in full, treat you badly, fire you on the spot, lock you out of your apartment, tell immigration that they fired you but not tell you, accuse you of something that you didn't do,... and the list goes on. The most common though is not paying you in full, and firing you on the spot. |
I strongly support the last statement ... not paying you is a common response. It is ultimately your decision but be prepared for the consequences of whichever path you take. |

Everybody here must have worked for really shitty hagwons. The situation is going much better than anybody here thought it would. I had a talk with someone from administration last week. She was so delighted that I was getting married that she didn't seem to be too upset that I would be leaving the school early. After chatting a bit about getting married she said the school will not be able to pay for the airfare back to my country. She didn't even mention paying for the airfare to Korea! From the bit I posted from the contract, it seems I should pay for the airfare to Korea, right? Isn't that what it says? Well, I'm just not saying anything. It seems I'm going to get away with a full 6 months of salary. I talked to the woman from administration again today and I was told I'll get my full payment before I leave. They already have a replacement for me lined up. They're just hoping they can finish all the paperwork before I leave.
One thing she mentioned that she wasn't sure about was my pension. She said if I worked a whole year I would get a bonus of one month's salary (standard for all jobs in Korea). So she said I have to check with somebody from a government office to see if I can get any of that money even though I've only worked 6 months. |
