Its a real pain moving around a lot, but quitting useless job after slave driving job appears to be inevitable in this country.

I'm sick of quitting, personally. you just settle somewhere, make friends, get into a routine, then they throw sh*t in your face and you have to quit.
They always do something dissapointing.

That is purely unacceptable and you should quit on principle. Give her a letter stating that you are quitting because of her racial prejudice and spend the next 30 days hanging out with K-girls around your hogwan as much as possible. I work at a private high school in about the most conservative town possible and have NEVER had anyone at my school try anything like that. Your director is a biggoted racist bitch of the highest order who needs to be taught a lesson.

Unbelievable story. Surely there must be an authority whom you can report this racist bitch ti. Maybe try contacting esl law. This is one of the attitudes that makes Korea so unlikable at times.
Even if there was physical contact that's nobody's business.
Shocking.

I hate this country at times.

Is your school in Ulsan, by any chance?

Your director is power-tripping for sure, but you have to ask yourself if this is really worth quitting over?

Is your job relatively satisfactory in other respects? Judging from the title of this thread, I'd say not. But then again, it was the heat of the moment, so maybe after a day or two you'll get past this.

If not, then hand in your notice.


Some bosses still have a slave-owner mentality, so it's best just to get away from an employer like that.

No need to be angry though, you have to be able to laugh at her childishness....or you will drive yourself crazy.

Good Luck

Your boss sounds like a real idiot. She shouldn't interfere in your personal life. Some posters are saying you should resign, but you want to stay, obviously with a resolution to your bosses interference. Follow Qinellla's advice, give your boss the old " yeah, yeah, i agree, yeah yeah."
Battling with your boss is futile and will only create more antagonism. Don't resign

One thing that might help you back off a bit and cool down is this little picture. I came into work and it was meeting time, but not for me. All the K-teachers were listening to the boss in a classroom. They sat in the little kid's desks BORED to tears and obviously only a paycheque was tying them down for a spell as the boss droned on and on like Napoleon into battle. He OWNED them in that room. But I'm not in the meeting. As a foreigner I am not subject to the detailed memorandi they must pretend to care about. Your boss can only bark at you about not hanging around with Korean girls. Her English isn't good enough to be able to hold you down and really get under your skin. Like the Korean teachers are controlled. If you can get a good laugh out of it! That's what I mean about 'making your mind a fortress'. Not pouring arrows out of one's eyes and hot oil out of one's ears to discourage mental space invaders from attempting to storm one's battlements. That's a seminar on dvd available at www.fortressmind.com which I have yet to prepare and market. Bwahaha.....

If you were back in your homeland who would have the interest to tell you not to talk to young, unmarried women? Your wife, your mother, your Grandmother. Try to see your boss as someone who cares

Maybe periwinkle has a point.

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.
