Is this true? I did seven months, got a few days' notice, to which I complied, but did not think any severance was due. Not only that the boss did burn me on trumped up expenses....

I'm at the end of year 2, on my 3rd job, and looking set to finish a contract for the first time, wow.
My school is organised, pays on time without fail, has a proper curriculum, etc etc. They want me to renew, but working saturdays is just too much.
Which is why I'll be scouting for a new job soon. I'm a little nervous about it as experience has shown each school seems to have at least one major drawback, -swings and roundabouts I guess.

Wow, this thread was life affirming. After 2 jobs in 10 months, I went to China to get my CELTA and then came home to get a copy of my teaching license (I want to have something to show for my time in Harlem.) Now I'm looking to take the next step, either a masters or a decent job. I'm just glad I wasn't alone in getting my arse kicked in ROK. Anyone on this thread wanna post an update of their situation?

Double "yes". If you have to ask then you know the answer.

There are a good many of us who should give up on Korea, myself included. The problem is go where..........?
I have a bank account here, I know some Korean, I know sort of how things work here..........

I would have to start from scratch in a new country.

I am not prepared to work for nothing in a 3rd world country, just cause it's warm. I've done my time working for peanuts in Mexico. I really don't want to go back to that.
