Zuoying Fu X Branch
The supervisor had a poor attitude, completely different from the attitude they had when I first applied for the job. I was the only full-time Chinese 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 in university. There were many blank entries in all the previous attendance records and assignments.
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, and I never missed one. At least I proactively reported my work situation to my superiors.
After that, there were several occasions when I was given last-minute notice that I needed to attend training at another branch, as well as being asked to complete 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. The file was converted to a Google Drive Word document, and all the formatting was different.
I also discussed with my supervisor several times 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 was still ineffective.
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 I’ll give you even more and more pressure in the future.”
The supervisor then asked me to resign on the spot. However, because it was already after working hours and the resignation documents needed to be prepared, 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 until Thursday?” The Friday after that 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, my employee ID card, and so on. I also confirmed again 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. I will call the branch tomorrow to inquire. If we cannot resolve it, I will contact headquarters directly.
