Favoritism in the Workplace

I was curious to know as to whether anybody had suffered any discrimination in their place of work. I wonder what kinds of discrimination occur more regularly. Do people get better deals, more classes, fewer classes, and better earners?

I also wondered if bigger employers or types of employers discriminated more. Was the discrimination nationality, skin color, looks or gender based? Does anyone feel there is discrimination in the workplace here?

I think you have to earn your corn here. I was wondering if people think you just need looks to get by.

Pension protocols

Hi, I'm hoping someone can clarify how pension works for English teachers (US citizens).

My boyfriend and I work together, but we have different salaries. We noticed the deductions for pension on our payslips were the same amount, and that amount is lower than either of our salaries. So, we asked why this was, since pension deductions should be 4.5% of our salary.

The Korean staff member who deals with all issues related to the foreign staff gave us the following explanation:

CRC

Hi i would dearly love to work in Korea but have hit what seems a major snag through lack of awareness. 

Everytime i apply for teaching jobs the CRC issue arises, I have no CRC as i left my home country several years ago unware that it was a requirement in teaching.

 

Does any one have any advice or faced a simialar issue?

 

Let me state i have a clean record wherever i go but this is just my word.Even if i return to my home country there is this gap in years so i don't know what to do.

 

 

Clarification on domestic helpers in Korea

Hi there, 

I'm looking for some clarification.

1) Can filipinos apply to be domestic workers in Korea? Is it legal? Which visa does that fall under?

2) Do they need to have an employer first before applying for visa? 

3) If entering Korea on a tourist visa and then working illegally as a helper what are the implications?

4) What is the pay like for filipinos as a domestic helper. 

Leaving Korea for China?

Hi everyone, I've recently moved to Shenzhen, China after living in Korea for 6 years and I wanted to start this forum to offer advice to anyone who is thinking about making that move themselves. It is getting to be that time of year again, and I've seen some people talk about their schools cutting back, so I though now would be as good a time as any to start giving advice, and I don't have any classes for the rest of the term, so I have the time.
