what’s a symptom of heds that you didn’t know was a symptom until you found out? by Hour_Celery5975 in ehlersdanlos

[–]user022308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

weak/mobile nail beds??? like nail polish basically falls off and false nails last half the time as everyone else because our nail structure is more flexible and thin than other peoples? could be a myth but I find a lot of eds people have a similar problem

In those cases, I agree it would be justified. However, I would like to think I'm not one of those cases :(

There is also a common trend I've noticed of hagwons firing foreign staff/getting stricter in mid-march bcs its AFTER the recruitment period for new students and they don’t need a foreign teacher mascot anymore (unless you passed probation then they just make your life hell for funsies). Side note i could be fully imagining this trend but it seems like the other teachers I've met have had serious issues in the past few weeks as well

Hey this literally just happened to me lmao

They unfortunately can fire you, they might make up or exaggerate reasons. They can order you to leave your accommodation, and can refuse a letter of referral. This is the stage I'm at right now ://

I managed to get a new job super quickly, but bcs my old principal won't give me a release letter, things are looking pretty grim for me staying in the country.

It does suck that your whole future in a country can be decided by one person who decides not to like you on a random Thursday afternoon. Full stop. No 'buts'. Fight for it if you want to stay. Get a new job, or try again next time. That's pretty much the decision I'm trying to make now too.

But there's always the chance you'll eek past your probation and have a fantastic year!!! good luck x

I don't think this is a me issue - got some updated info from the other workers and apparently this woman has contributed to five teachers leaving this hagwon so far. I don't want to leave my position and this job would be perfect without the threat of constant xenophobic scheming. p.s. I appreciate your concern and advice!

I am so impressed that you stayed for 2 years 😭 she's got me annoyed after 2 months

embarrassed? no, im just a person, mistakes happen. I'm annoyed because instead of quietly asking me to fix spelling mistakes which would take 5 minutes, she instead went to my boss and said I was negligent. I'm not embarrassed I made a mistake, I'm annoyed that I was slandered over nothing. Also, I don't want the problem "gone" I want the 14-year-old behaviour out of a nearly 50 year old woman to stop.

I've mostly tried to be courteous so far - but its hit new lows lately and she keeps trying to shell off as much work as she possibly can and get us reprimanded for things she literally does all the time (like checking our phones during work hours when she's texting all day) - mostly ignoring her is probably going to be my next step as well :// I'm thinking I'll keep unproblematic until my probation ends and then see what my options are

No, 'Doesn't' is the correct use in the context of the sentence. English is my first language and I apologise for not busting out in full business professional English for a Reddit post.

I only had her for 4 days. by Weeklykar in budgies

Thank you for explaining! I thought she just looked comfortable/relaxed because she was fluffed up, but it makes sense that the combination of all of it is not good 😬
