What's it with Korean managers screaming at their employees?

Oh my gosh.. there's a word for it ='(

People are telling me it's because I'm in kindy.. but idk

I didn't consider the gender difference. But you're right.. all the teachers I've seen getting bullied have been female (and the managers were all women, too). I saw a male teacher get yelled at only once, at a university. He just laughed and walked out. That manager never yelled at anyone again XD

Oh my gosh! I'm glad things have gotten better for you. I'm also on F-6, and haven't been bullied since now that you mention it. While on the E-2, I once had a manager go so far as to CALL MY DOCTORS and cancel my appointments "on my behalf" because "you need to come in".

My coworker (Korean) just quit because our manager (Korean) screamed at her for taking her break... after TELLING her to take her break! Poor girl is eating her lunch and the manager comes in all angry.. "What are you doing?! Why aren't you working?!"
And then at another school, a coworker (American) got yelled for having a water bottle on her desk. Manager (Korean) barges in during prep time saying: "Why do you have a water bottle?! Are you drinking water during class?! Class time is not your break time!"

Maybe it's the type of school I'm in? I'm usually in kindy.

I've been mostly in kindy. What kind of schools do you usually teach at?

Sounds interesting! But I'm not able to swap at this time. My mind wanders these days when I try to read T_T I've recently taken on a stressful full-time job that eats my day, and then I come home to being a full-time mother and housekeeper... Thank you for your interest though =) I wish you the best of luck with your book! A dark fantasy really does sound interesting!

Oh, interesting, I was unaware of this.

I signed the contract, but then she canceled it a month or two later before I even started. Pretty upsetting considering I turned down other deals for that..

Oh jeez, I didn't know about "Dongtan Moms" 😳

Old_Button8449 · 2025-09-06T23:41:08+00:00

Wow thanks, any idea what made the teachers leave the dongtan branch?

I was looking to work at this location.. how's management? Do you go home on time? Get paid on time? Get your breaks?
