So since moving to Korea in October I’ve had an....interesting time to say the least. Worked at a lovely school which has unfortunately closed down now, I’m still owed money. So I signed up for another job and was supposed to move in to my new accommodation today. It was dirty, still full of the last tenants belongings and dirty laundry and even had a note left on the bed complaining about how broken and run down the apartment was. It was also much much further from the school than the manager told me.I didn’t stay there and went back to my current place which I can stay in until tomorrow. This whole new job is giving me bad feelings though, there’s no other foreign teachers been hired yet and the school opens on Monday, the curriculum isn’t finished and it’s being written up by the manager, accommodations awful and I feel like he’s not being honest with me. So I’m wondering what are my options, I’m just about ready to walk away from this new job already as I haven’t even started yet and I already have had a bad experience. I haven’t transferred my visa yet so I’m still technically on my E2 from the old school which closed down. If I tell the new manager I’m not going to be taking the job anymore will there be any implications for my visa? At this point I’m thinking of heading home while I assess my options, then if I want to come back I can start a fresh but I wonder if I leave will he report me to immigration and mess up my chances of ever coming back?Any advice is much appreciated
I’m sure someone told me I’d have 14 days after the last day of school before my visa would be expired. As apparently my director has 14 days to pay up all outstanding wages etc before he’s liable for legal action, as that’s the day the school is officially registered as closed down. (It officially runs out in November but maybe that’s not relevant anymore).I was therefore thinking of taking the next 1-2 weeks to look into potential jobs and if I find one I really like, transfer my visa as normal. Then if I don’t find a job I like, get my final payments and head home/go travel for a bit.
