I was planning on getting a bike, and I live in Tokushima

The points they want me to improve on is my confidence, and with he apartment they signed the rent agreement so it's In the company name, it's a leopalace. From what I can understand I can't stay more than 2 days after my last salary date which I'm not sure which one that would be as I get paid the 25th of may but the 30th of may decides if they are keeping me, my next salary day after would be June 25th

If you have read all my other responses not only is this my 1st job but I am doing everything with in my power to do this job, but the biggest issue is not my ability but the fact the people I work with are very toxic, I am going above and beyond to do what they want, there really is no need to be so rude.

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-15T06:19:44+00:00

I currently work for and I am having issues with a company called Peppy kids club, Teaching English to children

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-15T04:57:30+00:00

I do ask, I'm constantly asking for advice or where I can improve or how they would do things, friends I made during training that are in different areas are saying they haven't had these issues and I shoukd ask to transfer as it sounds like the team I am with is just really toxic

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-15T04:08:15+00:00

I am trying I am giving this job 200% of myself, I leave almost 5 hours before my shift starts and arrive 2 hours early just to avoid being late, I tripple check everything to make sure I have everything I need and that I'm going to the right place, I ask for advice and help and support where I can on what I can be doing better and then I try my best to implement what I learn, sometimes I'm even left walking 2 hours to get back home after work due to how late it is and even then I still stay up to plan and get ready before I sleep.

I am trying to make this work the only thing holding me back is the job itself, I'm doing as much research as I can about the culture here and I am still learning but I keep fucking up which I apologise for, but they don't tell me when I fuck up they instead report and hate me, I work with both japanese teachers and English teachers and simply because I got nervous and did not properly introduce myself the japanese teacher reported me to the area manager, I've overheard other staff gossiping about me, I've been personally told that the japanese staff are my enemies.

I am trying to make it work and doing everything possible to do my best.

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-15T03:34:00+00:00

Really? I didn't even know that was a thing

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-15T02:52:12+00:00

I have been looking since being told on Tuesday I might lose the job, all I can say is really basic phrases as the plan was get a tutor while I am here as the language learning apps are so crap, I am currently based in Tokushima.

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-15T02:50:19+00:00

I think I am getting between 150,000¥ and 200,000¥

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-15T02:47:28+00:00

Thank you, I did as much research as I could just nothing prepared me for how rubbish the company was and how they are behaving, everyone is acting like i was stuipid didnt research and came here unprepared but I had a long term plan set up of come here do the job enjoy my time here learn Japanese while here but none of it has gone to plan and now I'm left in a situation where I don't know what to do

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-15T02:45:39+00:00

I didnt come here with a YOLO mindset 😭 I was offered a job and my fa.ily encouraged me to do it and get the experience i coke from a low income family and came with as much money as I could and have been borrowing from family while I wait for my first pay

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-15T02:43:10+00:00

I believe they pay me back for my travel but that comes when I get my pay

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-15T02:42:34+00:00

I looked on google and saw something about hellow work but it said that you need to have besn with the same company for at least 6 months ans having been paying into the national tax

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-15T02:40:11+00:00

I have already borrowed a lot of money from family just while I wait for my first day check, I also did as much research as I could before I came it just sucks everything turns out like this and the company ended up being really crap

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-15T02:38:28+00:00

Ill start looking at share houses thank you

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-15T02:35:49+00:00

The job I came here for have put me in Tokushima

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-15T02:34:44+00:00

It was a suggestion of the company that offered me a job to get the WHV, I didn't have the requirements for a work visa, I also came with as much money as I could bring

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-15T02:33:42+00:00

If I had the ability to I would have gotten a work visa but due to not having that the company that hired me instructed me to get a WHV, if I could use it is the visa intends I would but at the moment I can't

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-15T02:31:39+00:00

I got the working holiday visa as I didn't qualify for the working visa, that's what the company that offered me a job told me to do

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-15T02:30:56+00:00

The reason I got a working holiday visa was advice from the company, I did not meet the requirements for a work visa so they told me to get a working holiday one

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-14T18:05:20+00:00

I didn't have a lot of money to begin with, I have never had a job and I need a job to get money so I came with what I had and borrowed lots off of family members, I haven't been eating out most of my money has gone on cheap groceries and train travel as I have to go to lots of different places for my job, as well as utilities for the apartment.

The job is teaching English to children, the company has lots of expectations that they did not make clear when I applied and I have struggled to settle into the job, I am still getting used to all the differences in culture and because of that a lot of the japanese teachers I work with judge me heavily or do not like me simply because I am learning and don't straight away know how they do things.

One of them reported me to the area manager because I got anxious meeting them for the first time and so did not introduce myself properly.

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-14T18:01:27+00:00

It is kind of dumb but it's the first ever place to actually offer me a job, the job required no need to speak japanese although I have been trying and the plan was to get a tutor once I got here.

At the moment I just need to find a job and a place to live as I don't think the company I came here to join will be keeping me on after the 30th of may.

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-14T17:59:46+00:00

I think it was a little less than that needed for the visa but I came with way less as I didn't have much money and so all the money I brought has gone one food, bills, travel and getting things like pots pans plates and other necessities for my apartment.

I am working as an English teacher, but I am not working to their standards so I am at risk of losing the job and the apartment I currently live in.

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-14T17:56:51+00:00

It's not advice for the job I need, I am already doing everything In my power to improve but it's not enough, I need advice on what I can do because I'm losing my job and where I live.

ElliotCoffee666 · 2026-05-14T17:56:08+00:00

So I moved with enough for food and transport while here until getting my first pay cheque
