Good post,Silverboy.I think your strategy for dealing with Chinese bosses is spot on.I'm sick and tired of being told by groveling weasel Western DOS's and some of my fellow FT's that Westerners shouldn't complain about sharing flophouse-like accommodation in China, as many Chinese teachers are willing and happy to do so.That kind of talk can never be a justification for tight bosses mistreating their FT's in a myriad of ways while living lives of luxury and driving around in fast cars.
