This thread is not true in my experience. I have been at Jiaying for almost two years and have received the following: 10,000 rmb travel expenses per-anum, fair salary deposited into my account on time every month, holiday bonuses, a free furnished apartment, travel to other campuses paid, and holiday pay. All in all the local staff have been good to me and have responded to most of my grievances or complaints. Jiaying is not a "shameful joke". They make do with the resources they have available. Also, I have been in contact with teachers who were here for more than five years and no one is familiar with any teacher named "Joanne". It seems that "Joanne" is an alias so be careful of trusting anyone who will not defend their words in their own name.
