Pledge to myself: Never work in a hagwon again.


I'll second that. After my first, and last, hagwon experience I took that pledge one step further and vowed never to work for anyone else again.

So far things have been much better.

He's probably stalling for time until he finds a replacement for you. Food for thought. If you two are on shakey ground, he has no reason or incentive to have you remain.

What do you do? Push paper all day and act fake to Koreans, and then go home and stick pins in Korean dolls chanting "exploit the losers, exploit the losers".

Thats quite funny, but no, I usually go home and have a normal evening with my family.

Its the hogwon owners who push paper all day and act fake to their slaves, and then go home and stick pins in western dolls chanting "exploit the losers, exploit the losers

Have you learned nothing here? Wink
