LondonGirl, there are issues with visa, wages, health insurance, management, employee evaluation and a lot more at EF. The problem often starts when individual centers don't have to be answerable to the EF headquarters and when the Shanghai's office puts on blinders just like you seem to be doing. With regards to EF dismissals, which you have mentioned before, I've known EF centers' teachers' offices full of drunks, high school dropouts, and even convicts (even some DoSs) but the ones that get fired are uni grads. I can't imagine what a DoS was thinking when without notice she let a well educated Brit with some solid experience go while keeping 5 foreign and two Chinese degreeless teachers on her EF team. Yes, this WARNING is against you, LONDONGIRL.
No cheers or beers to the girl that seems to support the company that is an accomplice in money laundering scams of some filthy rich and corrupt local "business people"
