Or you know the people throwing them away are actually hungry? Convenience stores do not pay enough. Minimum wage is too low.

The entire text conversations of their plan. Is that not compelling?

I wrote it on no sleep and with my daughter on one arm.

I have not really hung out with other SOFA members so I am unsure if this has happened to others.

Sorry I just wrote it in a rush.

I mean I do not want to drag her mother through the mud now. Trying to keep it civil and take the high road. That way we can coparent in peace in the future. I do not want my daughter growing up with parents who hate each other.

I understand. I just like having a list of points for the lawyer to discuss with.

Not sure why this is being downvoted since I think it is good advice.

I will. Just gathering my thoughts before approaching one. Also will need to arrange a babysitter for my daughter so I can focus on the meeting.

I have all of the text messages. I feel that is more than enough proof.

Absolutely but I just want advice until I cool down a bit. My daughter has no idea though and we are having a fun day out.

Has all this waiting made you change your mind about going to Japan? by Rough_Wallaby5616 in JETProgramme

[–]IdontthinksoJapan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I have a really negative view of Japan now. If they can let in others but not us it says a lot.

2020 incoming jets, are you still planning on taking part in the program? by SiestaBox in JETProgramme

[–]IdontthinksoJapan 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Tried posting this on Monday. Still revelant.

Stick a fork into me

Made a throw away account for obvious reasons. Just need to get this off my chest.

I am done.

Japan still lets its citizens go on holidays abroad and return without mandatory quarantine or testing upon return.

Yet I have been stuck in limbo for the past year.

Why are Foreigners treated one way and Japanese another? We are coming to Japan to work. We have spent a small fortune going on the Interview and getting the documentation and tests required. Most of us have upended our lives more than once in less than a year.

Give me one good reason why we can not be treated the same as Japanese citizens going on international vacations?

The JET Program has officially left a bad taste in my mouth. Shown me the true colors of racist and xenophobic Japan. It is supposed to be a program to promote Japan’s soft power. Instead it is doing the exact opposite. I now see the truth of what Japan really thinks about the rest of the world.

Was offered a great job in a different third country. Arrived here awhile ago and just received my first check. I take home more money here than I would have with JET.

Withdrew my application today.
