Sacrifice dignity and happiness in exchange for a salary each month

There are problems with the teacher vetting process, and the company even employed an accomplice in a dismemberment murder case. In the case involving the dismemberment of a foreign national on the Yonghe riverside, the fourth suspect arrested by police, He Jiesheng, was a teacher at Global Village. He was still teaching at Global Village when he was arrested.

The owner of Global Village does not value the quality of any of its products. The textbooks are poorly put together, and teachers are hired indiscriminately, with absolutely no training. Many foreign male teachers use their classes as an opportunity to hit on people and date female Taiwanese students. Global Village pays its foreign teachers some of the lowest hourly wages in the industry, so the teachers it can hire are also among the industry's lowest quality. More than half of the foreign teachers are emotionally troubled, uncommitted, or belong to the group that slacks off and takes advantage of the system.
