I haven't a release letter. My hagwon is no longer in operation. However, my boss does not want to help. She is upset that I would not accept her selling me to a recruiter or me go through someone, so she can get some kind of commission. I refused. So what is done for foreigners in that case? Frankly, I am kind of disgusted, in some ways, with Korea, though I do like most of the people and I may look at teaching in Dubai or some other country that pays well. I will have to mull that one over.

Anyway, the situation was at my hagwon the boss kept losing students.
It was her fault, because she doesn't know how to run a business.
We had 43 students at the end. I knew she was thinking of selling or something, because I kept seeing businessmen coming to the hagwon. All of a sudden just on emotion, she tells us on a Monday (I felt it before a guy came over to buy the place), and she tells us we are going to move (bogus), but she tells me through a Korean that I am free to go. I figured the ship was sinking, and I was tired of seventh months of incompetence.
So I called a recruiter. Anyway, two days later she said I can't go, and that the deal for her selling of the floor space of the hagwon fell through, and I found out from her telling my recruiter that it was because of a fire certificate the buyers found she didn't have. And if we were going to move, we were going to lose a bunch of kids, it was clear, and she told me the night before she really intended to close the school, and she said it in front of a Korean colleague. I was tired of the games. I just want my last paycheck and out of this.
