 |
|
Arirang TV usually paints a very pretty picture of S. Korea so I don't suppose they'll be reporting about this...

anytime soon, do you? Hummm, employer --ARIRANG themselves -- cheats employees out of money(pays only about 50% of what should be paid) and opens a second bank account to hide money, doesn't that sound familiar? |

This is not the same thing.

That's enough for 1 person to get a mediocre house. That's about it, whooppee.
DUDE!!! That's like 6 million dollars. Check out Nova if you don't know what happened.
This Arirang incident is small potatoes. One bad apple in a bunch, that doesn't make them bad. Nova on the other hand was openly taking people's money and not using it properly. |

Really, embezzlement isn't bad? Nice try, but I'm not convinced. If I'm not mistaken, stealing something that values 100 dollars or more is a felony. And a simple misdemeanor disqualifies native language teachers from teaching in S. Korea from what I understand? |

One person shouldn't make a whole company go down. The Nova incident didn't only involve more money, but the company itself was run to take a lot of money from students and didn't give them classes or pay the teachers as a matter of "company" decisions. When I got there, they wanted me to sign a new contract with less pay.
Punish the guilty party who hid money, not the innocent people around them. What grudge do you have against Arirang as a whole? Someone on the inside probably ratted them out. |
