-Housing is shared with a Korean co-teacher and the director's brother (it is a villa divided into four different rooms)
I still can't wrap my head around parting ways with a good respected establishment because of no bed.....
If you have experience, you should be able to walk into almost any hagwon job. Why would you stick it out at this dumpster fire?And have some self respect brother, get yourself a one room that you pay yourself. None of this sharing bull. Ain't nobody got time for that.I have a hard time believing this story is real, you can do better man!
To be clear - you quit a job at a new school that you were optimistic about and looking forward to because of an unfurnished apartment?And yet you're staying at a job where you literally live in the same villa (or same apartment? I can't tell from the way you worded it) as a co-teacher and the director's brother?Not to mention teaching more than 40 classes per week?That seems... like it might not have been the best decision.On the bright side, look at the positives. You only live just over a mile away from your school. That's pretty awesome.If I were you, I'd quit. That job sounds awful. I think you'd have a difficult time finding anything worse than that, so any other job would be an improvement over your current situation, waygook.org user NorthStar.
northstar i pretty much hate 100% of what you write on here, but im sorry to hear you're in this terrible situation. get out man. and good luck getting out
My question is, has anyone experienced the same...meaning, having one of the THE BEST teaching gigs in Korea,
Worst: Slovakia, rural town of 25,000 people. A third Slovak, a third Hungarian and a third Roma. Had to share a flat which was a galley kitchen, bathroom and two rooms leading off each other with another teacher. When he did a runner at Xmas, I became the solitary foreigner and the landlord locked the other room. 25 hours a week, students were great but pay was approx 25 quid a week. Fortunately beer was only 10 a pint.
worst: last year, teaching at an after-shool program. never paid on time, shitty kids, wouldn't even supply basics such as board markers. plus the school i worked in had an after-school manager that hated me for some reason. hah. never again.

Did you complete the year? What were the hours like? I've heard even the once cushy after school jobs went down the tubes. If you stuck it out, what factors motivated you to stick with it? Location, decent working hours, friends in the area...?
Oh and to Mayor Huggies, I don't recall saying those types of jobs, like I had, were everywhere and easy to obtain. If I did, then I will heat humble pie.

It came only with what the apartment was built with. You also glossed over the other part, where I stated I had been in that position before, expected to furnish the entire place myself. I said I would not do that again.....So, while it is convenient for you not be able to wrap your head around that, perhaps looking at the bigger picture would help...or, is that how you treat your staff, because I would tell you to phuck off, right in front of your wife, if you presented a completely empty pad, expecting me to furnish it.
