So when you say "Though your posting is based on their new methods of trying to recruit teachers," I assume that this means that EF has had to resort to lying, cheating and stealing, in order to recruit teachers after cashing in on the franchise scams that they are involved with and loosing control of their brand and overall image which is a direct byproduct of their already infamous business plan of lying, cheating, and stealing.

Is that about right?

That would be like Pizza Hut using a McDonald's email address for recruiting cooks after the word gets out that their pizzas are bad.

EF is done. They are a [edited]. They are a [edited]. They are a [edited] organization that steels money from students while holding their teachers under their thumbs while placing threats and pressure on them to turn a blind eye to their unlawful business practices while also lowering their standards, of which EF is already far below any realm of professional standards anyway. If the FT smells a rat and looks for redress they are threatened with visa cancellations, or some other form of felony retribution. When any FT tries to do the right thing based on fairness, common sense and a sense of doing the right thing in the best interests of their students, places like EF smash them down.

At the same time, now that you work for EF ad you are part of the problem the thing to do is to leave EF immediately. Pack your bag, head for the airport and leave. Go back home and stay there where in your country, wherever that is, the standards must be higher because China is the lowest level on earth for any form of educational standards. Stop helping EF to remain in business by giving them cheap labor and stop letting them milk you for your talents.

EF is [edited]!
