 |
|
| Hello. I have just started a hagwon position with the intent to leave before the 6 month mark, yes I am aware I will owe them airfare and recruiting fees (though there were none as no recruiter was used). I begin officially on March 4th and I plan to quit on August 15th. As I would like to do this correctly in order to not cause problems at work and for myself in the future for Korean visas, the contract requires 3 months prior notice of quitting. This means I should tell them on May 15th. Does all this sound right? Am I missing anything? Thanks. |

| In your short time there you probably haven't built up enough loyalty with them that they won't screw you for leaving early. I wouldn't give any notice. |

| Wait, what? You haven't even started yet and you're planning on quitting? |

You really shouldn't have taken the job in the first place, but since you have:
If you do want to get paid and don't want to be screwed over, don't say anything and just leave.
Yes, you can be honest about it, but they will surely find a way to ditch paying you anything in a heartbeat. Look out for "late" pay. Then oops, they forgot to pay you before you left.
There's one thing I've learned the hard way -- don't tell people that you're leaving the country ahead of time. Especially if you don't know them well. In this case, you're not in the right either, but there are many people who take kindness and honesty for weaknesses. And what you're doing is basically giving them time to think of a scheme to separate you from your money. |
