Zuoying Fu X Branch
The supervisor had a poor attitude and was completely different from how they acted during my interview. I was the only full-time Mandarin-speaking English teacher in the entire company, and I also had to assist with academic administration. Everyone else was a part-time teacher who was still attending university. Many of the previous attendance records and assignments had significant gaps.
When I first joined, I proactively submitted daily work reports to the director and the academic administration 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.
Afterward, there were several instances where I was given last-minute notice that I needed to attend training at other branches, as well as instances where I was not informed in advance that I had to prepare monthly evaluation forms. 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 within the allotted time, but they would not give me the Wi-Fi password. The file was converted to a Google Drive Word document, and all the formatting was different.
I also discussed several times with my supervisor that I was still becoming familiar with the teaching materials and teaching procedures, and that I could not complete the following month's course schedule in such a short time. It still made no difference.
Eventually, I could no longer bear the excessive workload. I told the director that my current workload had exceeded my capabilities. The supervisor told me, “If you can’t handle this, then I’ll give you more and more pressure from now on.”
The supervisor then asked me to resign on the spot. However, because it was already after working hours and I needed to prepare the resignation documents, 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. Once I got 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 have been included in my pay? I refused at the time.
On my final day of work, I confirmed the handover and returned all files and materials, whiteboard markers, my employee ID card, and so on. I also reconfirmed with the director and the administrative staff whether there was anything else that still needed to be handed over. Everything had been returned.
I still have not received last month’s salary. I will call the branch tomorrow to ask about it. If we cannot resolve the matter, I will contact headquarters directly.
