I wasn't entirely sure where to post this so, admins, please move it if it's in the wrong place.
I teach English overseas. My contract is almost up and I am about to leave my job. I've essentially 'given notice'. One of the other teachers here is staying on. She has been kind and loyal, hard working and sweet since the day she came. She asked to visit her family . The school said a solid "NO." Another teacher here is staying. She's just mean and underhanded, selfish and manipulative, insulting and racist. She thinks she owns this school and all the people in it. She *told* the school she was going home for a break and they said "ok."
The teacher who has been good, and who has consequently become my friend this year, has been promised the position of head teacher next year. The other teacher's reasponse was "Well that should be f***ing hillarious."
I'm mad. I'm really really mad. I don't care who's got the better business sense. What's going on here isn't *morally* right. They're letting a teacher stay who will poison the minds of every new teacher. They're punishing the one who does what is right. *This* is why I'm leaving. But I can't just let this happen, I have to try and do *something.* And I'm thinking, I'm gone in a few weeks, even if the other women catch wind of my "betrayal", what can they do to me that I can't live through? I've gone to the administration, talked to two of them individually and while I wasn't calm and I was very direct I did manage to not display my "temper." But I still don't know if I had an effect or if I'm being lied to, too. But at least I'm trying.
I'm so thuroughly angry right now at the injustice that's going on... Any advice on business situations like this, or on Asian business would be helpful.
