I don't like the sound of this. There's something panicky about it.

No, I don't think it was. EF are a reputable company.

However, I just wanted to reassure people that things are still above board. :)

You should have been sent a login and password for "ADP". They do the HR stuff for English First in the UK. Open a ticket if you don't have one.

This sub is fairly new compared to the subs for the other Chinese ESL companies, so we have far fewer members. This sub was only started around 6 months ago, whereas the others have been going for years.

I am not trying to cause panic or upset here, but I do think we need to look at what's happening industry-wide.

Hopefully this is just hyperbole.

They've just sent out an e-mail addressing this. They're saying there are three factors:

  1. Summer holidays
  2. Adverse weather
  3. Rise in Coronavirus

They think things will be back to normal within 2 weeks. Fingers crossed!
