Last night all the teachers for Seoul English Education Center in Gapyeong were gathered for a meeting. We were told that some of the teachers hired for SEEC would not be going there.

I was pretty devistated to the news since I was one of the teachers  who had been axed from the list. Within a mere 15 minutes of hearing the news were asked if we were okay with the situation.

Hmmm, let’s see… you drop a bomb on me and I’m suppose to just sit here and take it like a good little girl!?!? Well, not only do I lose out on the extra 300,000 won per month but all the months of research, planning and connecting with people.

To add insult to injury we were told as a group that  if we weren’t happy about the decision and didn’t accept what happened there is the door … leave! Not really much of a choice if you ask me. But I do find it interesting that heaven help you if you dare break your contract; however, things can always change in a matter of seconds on the employers side and oh well!

Welcome to Korea… sparkling!

I’m trying to look at the positive aspects of this whole mess and hope I don’t regret the decision I made to return to Korea.
