Here's the resolution: My coworkers and I made a bit of a protest on Friday. We basically made our unhappiness at the situation well known to the boss by completly ignoring and avoiding her. Apparantly, she had a major "change of heart," went upstairs to the K-girls school, apologized to the manager there, then apologized to us via the head teacher (she didn't do it in person, of course). She said we could hang out with anyone, anywhere and she was sorry she invaded our personal space. The story is that one of the good parents saw me hanging out with the girls on Thursday and went to my boss and made a joking comment like "it seems that one of your foreign teachers is in really high demand." She said she was worried one of the bad parents would think I was giving private lessons during working hours and that set her off. So, one crises averted. For now.

Just to respond to some other comments now:

You sound young. Are you young?


Yes, I'm pretty young.

When does it start to dawn on a person that if they keep landing bad jobs then perhaps they are somewhat responsible for the choices they make?

Landing one or two bad jobs and quitting is normal.

Never being able to finish a contract is not.


This is actually my first bad job. I had a really good teaching job in China. Certainly we are always totally responsible for our choices and their consequences. Nobody put a gun to my head and made me come out here. No one forced me to sign my bad contract. It's totally my fault for making a rash desicion and for not doing my research. I know I can leave anytime I want, yet I choose to stay. Why? For one thing, I don't like to quit, and more importantly, I am very happy with my life here outside of work. I am happy with my students. I am not happy with my boss, but she is really a miniscule part of my life, and I'm not about to let her run my life. If I quit this job, totally on account of her, she wins (not really, coz it would put a huge financial burden on her, but you get my point)

Is your school in Ulsan, by any chance?


No, it's in Chilgok, near Daegu

Is she nice enough to lay. Maybe she does want ya. It's not the face you fuk, it's the fuk you face. C'mon now. I'll bet she wants to do the nasty and she's all jealous. Lay a line on her and see what happens. Could get some cone.


No, she's butt-nasty. I wouldn't touch her with a ten foot stick and a hazmat suit.

Your boss was entirely out of line. Though it may seem resolved now, I'd still quietly make other plans.
