Kermo; you describe your manager as 'adorable', and then you list 8 tactics that she tried to use on you to get something that is NOT hers.
I think I must have a different understanding of the word 'adorable'. |
It's remarkable, really, the way she can do all that with a friendly smile on her face, and still act like an ally. I do feel sorry for her (our director seems very snaky to me) and she takes abuse from all sides. I don't necessarily trust her, or want to take her home as a pet, but she's quite charming. |

| I'm guessing neither xtchr or Kermo ever had a Korean girlfriend. Adorable and conniving aren't mutually exclusive. |

No, I haven't, but it's not for lack of trying. Damn you, Yoo Ri, you bewitching creature! |

|
|
I saw no reference to this as a reason but worth keeping in mind....
There are, as we know, a fair number of foreigners in Korea working without degrees or with forged diplomas.
Your valid diploma is a valuable commodity... can be used to forge docs that are provided to illegal employees or sold to foreigners looking for a "valid" diploma.
That's a big reason I wouldn't let mine go, even for 10 minutes. I've heard of people getting their diplomas back damaged - likely the hogwon was trying to forge some new ones off the valid one.

| Grotto, that was my first thought when I read her "I QUIT" thread. In fact, I just looked at the title and thought "whew! that was close!" |

Giving him directions of course! Shake it to the left, shake it to the right. Get up, get on down. |

| Can copies of original diploma can be done here in Korea? I brought my original with me and after reading this thread, I might just go on and have copies made. |

| If you go to the immigration office they might (I had no problem) give you one certified copy...other people were told no..I guess it depends on who you talk to. |
