work...the good the bad and the ugly

im working at a nice big franchise hagwon that i actually fully supported and loved when i first arrived. and for many months since ive been here...until....

well they decided last month to fire one of my favorite coworkers. they said that she was getting too many complains. well let me share my friends story from what i know. i mean we talk alot so i feel its accurate. J had a lot of complaints in the beginning. her class was boring and no one liked her. so they told her. so she revamped it. she added a lot of games, and like we talked to gether about the games and other ideas to make it better. so it was, from what i can tell. regardless she made a big change.

then we all were told we played too many games. so we all needed to fix that. thats fine with me. whatever. (i was playing too many games) well a month or two passed. there was a complaint here or there with j. granted our boss is a bit awkward and doesn't really pull you aside to complain. just in the office. and then says that you got a complaint, fix it. so j kept asking, why and why and is a confrontational person. (wish i could be that way a bit more at times)...anyways, a few months pass.

out of the blue im told that j is getting fired. even my head foreign teacher is like, what? why? really the only reason we can think is because they just dont like her. granted she had some issues but she worked hard. whatever. shes ok. shes on to bigger and better things.

but this caused me to lose all faith in my hagwon. a job i once highly esteemed and thought of maybe a second year...well, well see what happens. its all about the money. the work is easy but whatever. its not what i thought it was. so im a little saddened by that, but whatever. thats how it goes.

but i must note, for a hagwon to fire 2, not 1 but 2 foreign teachers, is a bit unheard of. usually you have to like kill students in most places to get fired. but thats life. so its time to leave work and go hang out with some friends.

until next time~~
