My hagwon owner is considering firing me because I didn't attend a school picnic on my day off (had the flu). My students rate me excellent, bring new students to the school, and I even teach an executive for the institute on weekends.

That said, I've heard worse stories, like the owner of an elementary school hagwon who watched Triple X Porn in the open reception area or the owner that talked to rabbits all day which he kept in a cage in the institute's lobby.

What's your story?

Hi,

Attended a friend's wedding intentionally on a Saturday when I had classes.

You can imagine the result. Very Happy

Friends who lived in a 4bdr apt in Hwajeong while working for one old crook at a nearby haggie. Never paid on time and quite often left to survive on about 30k a week, which was all the cunning bat would give them. In the meantime, she would refuse to pay them, citing that she was traveling to China for the weekend, or spending the weekend at church praying for the future of the hagwon, where she was no doubt pumping in money. Lived a life of conspicuous consumption and luxury, but could never find the readies to pay off the boys. Eventually the whole thing went bust, thank god, and my mates got their coin.
