Dear Alex,
My "inside info" came from a teaching assistant who had been assigned to a fellow foreign teacher,and susequently left to have a baby.There was also my own personal observation when my teaching assistant was bawled at down the phone line by Mr River after her disloyalty to me had given me the chance to get her ousted.Henceforth she became Paul's assistant,and I got his one in a straight one-for-one swap.
No assistant of mine has ever dared to betray the company to me,or divulge his(or her) personal employment details to me.But in the case of an errant teaching assistant identified by the company,I believe the worst possible outcome for that unfortunate employeee would be instant dismissal.
It's quite conceivable given the dodgy English levels of some of the Chinese employees of the company that the top monitor mistakenly thinks Yuncheng IELTS is being praised in this thread.Equally strange things can and will continue to happen here in the PRC!
Maybe my theory that Paul has had to move on because he has antagonised too many of his fellow foreign teachers resulting in negative postings is way off the mark.Perhaps someone can post detais of the true situation re Paul so as to clear up this mystery once and for all.
