Whoa, daddy!

Just one week ago, I ended a horrible teaching position arranged for me by Frank Zhang. With me, his name was Sang Xing.

I wound up absolutely detesting this guy -- and apparently so do multitudes of other FTs.

Yes, yes, yes, avoid this guy at all costs!!!

The ONLY reason I got entangled with him in the first place (I was unaware of terrible reputation at the time) was because at the time I was seeking new teaching employment (this past Christmas, 2006) was when the earthquake hit the coast of Taiwan and caused a long period of havoc and disconnect on the internet. Remember???

He found me (via ESLjobs.com, I believe. Not sure.) on the internet and asked to represent me; but in the end did little or no negotiating on my behalf. Everything that I did to make the job seemingly acceptable (it was complete nightmare) was done without any intervention on his part. He simply collected a hefty fee for making the initial phone call.

When I resigned the position (within one month after the job began), according to the exact terms of the contact, he contacted me by email and begged me to remain in the job -- because HE would have to forfeit his fee!!! He didn't one hoot about the terrible work situation he put me in, only that he might have to return 5000+ RMB. Sickening!

To make matters even more ridiculous and outrageous, he wanted to "represent" me for the next position!!! (You can imagine my response to that one!)

Keep the word going out there about this guy. Problem is, he's a new alias for every day of the year, so it's quite difficult in keeping him in focus.

Very, very dodgy.
