Zuoying Fu X Branch
The supervisor had a poor attitude and was completely different from how they behaved when I initially applied. I was the only full-time Chinese-speaking English teacher in the entire company, and I also had to assist with academic affairs. Everyone else was a part-time teacher who was still attending university. There were many blanks in all the previous attendance records and assignments.
When I first joined, I proactively submitted daily work reports to the director and the academic affairs supervisor. This was later changed to twice a week, and finally once a week, without missing a single report. At least I proactively reported my work situation to my superiors.
After that, there were several instances where I was given short-notice notifications requiring me to attend training at other branches, as well as being asked to prepare monthly evaluation forms without prior notice. Less than a month after joining the company, I was asked to complete the class schedule for the following month within four days. I brought my own laptop and wanted to finish it on time, but they would not give me the Wi-Fi password. When the file was converted to a Google Drive Word document, all the formatting was different.
I also discussed several times with the supervisor that I was still becoming familiar with the teaching materials and teaching procedures, and that I could not complete the following month's class schedule within such a short time. It still had no effect.
Eventually, I could no longer bear the excessive workload and told the director that my current duties had exceeded my capabilities. The supervisor told me: “If you can't handle this, I will put even more and more pressure on you in the future.”
The supervisor then asked me to resign on the spot. However, because it was already after working hours and I needed to prepare the documents related to my departure, the resignation date was changed to the following Monday. It was later changed again to the following Tuesday. After confirming this with the director, I went home. When I arrived home, I saw a message from the director saying, “Dear~ Would it be possible for you to help until Thursday?” The following Friday was the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. Would that day be included in my pay? I refused at the time.
On my last day of work, I confirmed the handover and returned all files and materials, whiteboard markers, employee ID card, and so on. I also reconfirmed with the director and administration whether there was anything else that had not been handed over. Everything had been returned.
I still have not received last month's salary. Tomorrow I will call the branch to inquire. If we cannot resolve the matter, I will contact headquarters directly.
