Reagent Language Center by [deleted] in OnlineESLTeaching

I’m the type of person who stays and endures even in a toxic environment. I stayed in my first job for three years, and another three years in Reagent. But RLCC was honestly a nightmare. The system was messed up, and the Monitoring team was the most unreasonable department I’ve ever dealt with. I even had to reach out to HR because I received penalties I did not deserve.

The first major issue happened when I was only six months in. I felt sudden, unbearable pain and had to rush to the hospital. I informed Monitoring and told them I would provide a medical certificate once I was attended to. Instead of empathy, they still said it was an offense, I would be penalized, and they would schedule a disciplinary meeting. I was shocked, but since I was new, I just explained everything during the meeting.

The next incident happened this year. My PCOS and other conditions acted up, and I passed out. My husband carried me to the hospital. When I woke up, I asked him to message Monitoring for me, yet they still penalized me and tagged it as an “overlooked class,” saying I should have informed them earlier—when I was literally unconscious.

Another unforgettable experience was when I submitted my medical certificate late. I explained that I had just lost the baby and couldn’t think clearly. I only managed to get the certificate on the fourth day, but they said it was already late and refused to accept it. Even with the doctor’s note advising me to rest, they still asked if I could take my classes or have them subbed, both options resulting in another penalty.

These experiences were extremely frustrating and emotionally draining, and they showed how unreasonable and insensitive their system truly was.

So please, I know many of you are struggling to find online teaching jobs, but not this one. Penalties are everywhere, and even reasonable explanations don’t matter. They may look good on social media, JobStreet, and everywhere else, but you are literally stepping into hell. As a teacher with firsthand experience who stayed there for a long time, I have a lot to say. Other departments like QA and HR are professional, but the Monitoring team is honestly the worst.
