Plus, if we sign the same contract, why am I sitting at school freezing and alone while they are at home (or on extended vacation)?Edit: by they I mean other NETs.

All you accomplish by complaining is make it less likely the other people will be allowed to stay at home.
QuoteI've never understood the keenness of some people to complain about being paid to do nothing.In the past, I made bare attempts to deskwarm, but I always left the school by lunch and didn't come back. Finally, I stopped going in at all. Sure, once a co-teacher called me to see where I am, but what are they going to do? Fire me because I don't want to sit in an empty building and do nothing?

Stop complaining. These are the types of threads that make me wonder about people's (home country) work ethic.
Thought this was standard protocol.
