It's all true...I'm the midnight runner, which is a terrible thing to do but as one of my friends who was also teaching there said, "If they can hurt you, they will. Just disappear".
I made the decsion to leave after the new employee was evicted without notice. I had never felt job security at the company but the possibility of being thrown into the street was too much.
Aside from everything mentioned, the sexism really frusterated me too. I was informed I was a successful teacher because I was "maternal". Any attempts i made to address the issues employees had with the company resulted in me essentially being treated like a gossiping busy body who needed to mind my own business. I don't know. Was it sexism or stupidity? Maybe a little of both...

The shallow and unprofessional nature of the company never ceased to amaze. They actually write comments on the pictures people send, disparraging or admiring people's looks. I recieved a make-up lesson and one of my friends was told to slick back his hair (he refused, haha).

It was the most bizarro work environment I have ever experienced. I am stunned at the quality of people they manage to hire given their skewed views. The students, housing, salary and everything else is lovely but for me, it ammounted to trading in my dignity and self-respect.
