I worked for FEN too for a number of years and know who wrote the original 2011 posts and his reasons behind it. He was employed as an assistant headteacher at the time and had a real problem with the foreign headteacher who was a woman. His problem basically stemmed from the fact he didn't like being told what to do by a woman and someone didn't have an educational background like him. He spent most of his day using the internet and when he was pulled up about it he started to create problems in the office over working hours. He attempted to coral other members of staff to change the system of working hours so as to include a break and tried to rally support at meetings. When people refused to follow him, as the system wasn't a problem for us, he became angry and insulted us (usually behind our backs and in my case to my face). He then dramatically resigned from his post as assistant headteacher to become a regular teacher.
As for the family drama he has decided to leave out the part where he had a casual relationship with the daughter of the owner in his "nice" apartment just across the road from the family house, re-read his quote about "separate work and family" with this in mind, as he rowed with the daughter and spread malicious gossip about her throughout his time left with the company.
FEN was a good company to work for they did a lot to help me and my family and I never had any problems with anyone there. I liked working in a family based eikaiwa because you can connect with the manager whereas other large schools are about money more than anything. The owners here generally care about the students and the "shacho" always talked to me and I am not blonde or russian.
