 |
|
So, I was told one thing by my recruiter/hiring director about scheduling which wasn't represented in my contract and now I am working the exact split-shift I was told I wouldn't have to endure. I will leave the contract early but I wonder if it is even worth complaining to my branch manager about the situation. The other teachers have to put up with the nonsense splits as well so why should I expect to be treated any differently, especially since none of the schedule negotiation is in the contract.
Oh, and I have been corresponding with a recruiter who told me to get a letter of release before I call them again. Does this seem odd? I hate this schedule but I don't want to be jobless and at the mercy of some flakejob recruiter. |

Quitting early you have 2 choices:
1) Get a LOR so you can transfer (not valid before the 6 month mark).
2) quit, leave Korea (hand in your ARC on the way out) to cancel your visa, then begin the E2 process again from scratch.
Pick one. The topic has been done ad nauseam in recent history.

| I've managed a LOR as soon as one month into a contract in the past. This was to a public school though, perhaps that makes a difference. |

| At ttompatz, a Korean friend of mine just got off the phone with K-Immi and according to him there is no 6 month restriction on obtaining a LOR. Would they have given him bad information or is this just a simple case of K-Immi not knowing what K-Immi is doing from official to official? |

It depends on who is sitting at the desk the day you go in and what he had for breakfast.
Officially, each case is determined on its own merits (who knows who) but as a general policy...
