 |
|
Hi everyone. I would like to hear from people who have reported anyone to immigration for working illegally in Korea. I am considereing making a report to immigration about a co-worker for teaching privates.
Before you jump all over me the story is this. I have duel Canadian/Korean citizenship and legally teach students in private lessons. I recently discovered that a co-worker of mine convinced some of my students to work with him by undercutting my price. He cannot legally teach these private lessons. I can. I feel well within my rights to report him.
I would like to know for those of you who have made a report did you do it on-line or at the office? How long did it take for the investigation to be completed? Did you recieve money for it? If so how much?
Thanks for your help. |

Rather than trying to resolve the situation by reporting it to the immigration, I suggest that you talk to him directly about the problem.
Tell him straight up what you think of him and what you're about to do if he continue his bull-*beep* behind your back. That'll possibly get him to back down and give you more respect and appreciate your candidness.
However, I don't know the full extent of the situation other than what you posted. If you do decide to go to the other route. I would imagine that action on part of immigration will be pretty quick and swift. You can contact your local immigration office and I do think you will be rewarded for your action (dead or alive reward) but I have no idea how much though.

| We've talked. He made it clear with a few choice words that he is not concerned with what I think or what I have to say about it. |

That's what I thought. A real greedy a$$hole, cut-throat, and back-stabber. It's all up to you OP! Do as you wish. |

Well, report him then if you feel like it. But you will not receive any money from immi. They don't have the budget, and the person you wish to report is not a major criminal.
What goes around comes around. |

The guy is an ass, but to screw him over that royally because he is taking your customers seem wrong. Maybe you should cut your prices, or offer something he can't. It's called capitalism. Plus, this next bit didn't sit well with me...

"It's called capitalism"? No it's called teaching illegally. Who here would not consider reporting someone for damaging his business? Let's say MJ was legalized and let's also say you needed a expensive license to sell it . So you fill in the paper work, pay for the license and your product and you now you run a store which sold it (legally). Now let's say you found out someone was illegally selling MJ and undercutting your prices wouldn't you report him? Particularly if he was stealing your customers and threating your livilhood? Or would you engage in a damaging and costly bidding war?
Of course not. You'd report the guy in a flash.
Now if Mr. Horton himself is NOT paying taxes on these lessons, then I'd leave well enough alone if I were him. |

Be a stand up guy/gal and suck it up.....business is business...undercutting is business...no reason to be a cry baby. And ratting out someone for that.....that's stooping low.
Take it to the source and deal with it. |

Business is business...as long as it's all fair. If privates are Mr. Horton's only source of income, whereas his competitor may also work at a hakwon or private school, his competitor could afford to lower his prices to the point where Mr. Horton could be driven out of business. Now that's low.
Bottom line if you choose to do something illegally you choose to run the risk of being reported. I hope should that happen to anyone here, that they be "a stand up guy/gal and suck it up....no reason to be a cry baby." |

If somebody just took my work from me in as rude a manner as possible, in other words, they sneaked the students out from me, I'd be pissed.
Of course, OP, something to look at would be how good were your lessons. The students may not have been happy with your teaching. They may have left because of that not how much you are charging. |
