Is it me, but whether in language mill, university or international school, most of these places seem to be the pits?

Personally, from my experience, turn-overs are high and moral low. Contracts, especially in the Eastern Europe are unbalanced, favouring the employer and employee with less or no recourse.
In the past, I have felt that I have been owned by the school, leaving in constant angst and insecurity. Bosses who give me no transparency and make threats either an in implicit or explicit way.Schools are business and far from the altruistic persona on the glossy websites at these so called "International Schools"

I used to dread going to work each day not knowing what is ahead of me.

Has anyone else felt this way before?

Sorry for being so negative!! I have children to enroll next year ( thank goodness) but should I just convice my husband to go back home where the children are safe?
