Zuoying Fu X Branch
The supervisor had a poor attitude and was completely different from how they had acted during my interview. I was the only full-time native English-speaking teacher at the entire company, and I also had to assist with academic administration. Everyone else was a part-time teacher who was still in university. Many of the attendance records and assignments from before had been left blank.
When I first joined, I proactively submitted daily work reports to the director and the academic supervisor. This was later changed to twice a week, and finally once a week, without a single omission. At least I proactively reported my work situation to my superiors.
Later, there were several occasions when I was given short-notice notifications that I needed to attend training at other branches, as well as being asked to complete monthly evaluation forms without prior notice. I had been with the company for less than a month when 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. After converting it to a Google Drive Word file, 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 schedule in such a short time, but it still had no effect.
Eventually, I could no longer bear the excessive workload. I told the director that my current workload had exceeded my capabilities, and the supervisor told me: “If you can't handle this, then afterward I will put even more and more pressure on you.”
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. When I arrived home, I saw a message from the director: “Dear~ Would it be possible for you to help out until Thursday?” The Friday after that was the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. Would that day have been 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 confirmed once again with the director and administration whether there was anything else that had not been handed over. Everything had been returned.
At present, I still have not received last month's salary. I will call the branch tomorrow to ask about it. If we cannot resolve it, I will contact headquarters directly.
