the current DOS will try and help you with any issues you have

Really?!?! I think what you meant to say is "if the current DOS considers you a friend then he will try and help you with any issues ... well if he thinks it won't hinder him climbing the corporate ladder."

for those of us that want to work in a professional workplace this is what we've asked for.

So I assume when you say "those of us" you are referring to yourself (the current DOS's partner) and another teacher I won't name or as you have become popularly known as 'members of camp K***. The current DOS couldn't care less about what the other teachers feel, want or need.

Yeah, there are issues here and working in a chinese workplace with chinese management isnt the greatest experience
- mostly because, as a westerner, they are pretty much seen as idiots who make incompetent decisions.

Sure the Chinese management aren't great ... actually they are abysmal but a teacher should be able to rely on their DOS to act in their best interests a good DOS should be able to counteract poor behavior on the part of Chinese management and keep their staff happy. A teacher should be able to come to work without fear of being bullied, isolated and victimized. A teacher should be able to work in a place where they aren't picked on for everything from appearance and accent to the way they eat and their lifestyle outside of the school.
