It seems to have got to this now, a load of anonymous semi-literate oafs criticising everyone and everything.
I'll repeat, I enjoy working for Yuncheng IELTS, they don't pay me to say this, and since this ridiculously long thread started, I haven't been treated any differently by the company. The longest I have been without my passport was 3 days, and that was convenient for me. I don't live in a compound and no-one spies on me, my assistant reports to the company on my teaching and conduct, that's not suspicious in my view.

I was never promised a microwave, Alex, you assume I answered an ad. Turnoi and Silverfish, I was being sarcastic when I apologised, I doubt if I've misjudged you in the slightest. I have met only a handful of foreign teachers since I came to China, and none have experienced the "horrors" any of you describe. I have, however, read a load of garbage from the whining Choatle, who will not reveal where he works or what he does for a living. Self-appointed, self-aggrandizing big man on a Saturday night.

To those of you coming to this thread with a view to working for Yuncheng IELTS, don't believe everything you read here; people with axes to grind, people with nothing better to do. I stated, it seems so long ago now, merely that I was having a great time working for the company and have since been called a liar, a fool, a dupe, a shill, (by the way, the 1940s called and they want their language back) a pawn, humourless, a bad teacher, a "teacher", Chinese, Paul, a paid lackey and more. Are these the sort of people you want to take advice from. Do your homework by all means, but this thread has become redundant. I work for Yuncheng IELTS, I've been treated well and enjoy my job, I start at 9 or 10 a.m. and finish at 4 p.m. I once worked a weekend. I get paid promptly, I don't have a microwave. That's my experience.
Or why don't you take the advice of the many who don't, and never have worked for them.

God give me strength, I've just wasted another half hour on this nonsense.

p.s. Alex, thanks for the somewhat backhanded compliment, are you sure it was me that you met, my friend David thinks it was him.
