The FAO is the problem

Aren't they always? Sadly, the people who get "promoted" to this position have nothing other than pigeon english speaking skills at best, and a complete lack of understanding of what FT's really need and want.

To boot, they are also full of hubris (esp. if male!), but that doesn't mean a female FAO will be any easier to deal with, if at all.

I'm sure there are some good, honest FAO's, but they are very much in the minority.

At my current gig, I was told to clean my (filthy) apartment myself shortly upon arrival. Promised repayments of travel expenses have dried up.

And they wonder why teachers do the twilight run, backpack et al?

Shakes head, mulls over buying beer!
