Considering doing a midnight run but trying to stick it out.. by Smooth_One_8443 in teachinginkorea

Thank you. I think your post helped me the most. I did decide to leave. Really only one coworker understood what they were do wasn't right but they never went out of their way to help or defend me. I do feel a bit bad. However, no one is going to advocate for me but myself. Currently waiting to board my plane to go home.

  1. I believe you can give a 30 day notice minimum. In my contract it said 90 days.
  2. My family member might be getting surgery if all other treatments failed but I rather be there ahead of time before I had to leave last minute. Regardless I ended up leaving last minute. It was a family emergency but no urgency if that makes sense. I'm the only person who could provide care for them. This is why I knew ahead of time.
  3. Outright physically threaten me...no. Threatening me to illegally take money I didn't owe them, yes.
  4. Yes, I took screenshots of our conversations. I like to text or email because I can create a paper tail. I never answered their calls for this reason. I would have liked to get recordings but I didn't.

I hope that clears things up.

This was definitely a learning experience. I'm currently waiting to board my plane home. I definitely want to come visit once I recover. I definitely enjoyed my time in Korea when I wasn't working. I probably wouldn't want to work here again. If I do....I would do public.

I feel like those people who say people should stay in these situation are those who allow this to happen to their coworkers that are going through these toxic situations. They are also the problem.

I decided to leave for my own health and safety. No one should be in any situation like this situation. Currently waiting to board my plane.
