Q: Do you think its possible that Icnif77 gets paid by SAFEA?

Not to call him out toooo badly but he doesnt miss a chance to give a link or praise them.

If echinacities ever gives us our jackets his should say SAFEA on the back as 95% of his points came from them.

So what do ya think? Is he just really appreciative???

I have to say, that thought has crossed my mind too.

 

Not that I care or would consider him a troll or anything for doing it, but it often seems to me he puts a lot more faith in them than I would personally give them credit for.

No he just knows stuff. I can understand why you find that hard to fathom.

How do you mean 'if eChina gives us a jacket'? I want my 3 raincoats. I can endure loads of rain with 3 jackets............ 

'I'm not authorized to reveal my pay'  on the public thraed. Is it 'thared' or 'therad'? I'm not sure now.

 

I called them up 1st time in Hangzhou in 2010 or 2011. I worked with F. Add 'Helen' in search for more. 

After that, I called SAFEA in Liaoning. I was in Yingkou or similar name. Apartment didn't have kitchen as per Contract.

I moved to 'Dalian Jordan School' with RP from previous school. I resigned, because School assigned some 2h more per month than Contract. Reason: 'I'm too tired!', but in real school sucked big time. SAFEA helped me get FEC Cancel Cert. and Release letter.

I moved to Fuk., Xinjiang, with RP from Dalian. At the end of the Contract school asked me to pay some 600 Rmb garbage disposal fee. I refused, because by Contract School was in charge of the apartment.

SAFEA told them rules, and made them issuing Release letter and FEC Cancel Cert.

Last call to SAFEA was in Fujian, 6m ago. Search 'Education First'.

I'm telling you, if FT doesn't violate Contract (drunk, miss classes, and similar), SAFEA is always on the ball. Never had 'no returned call' or 'no reply to my email'.

Stiggs:

Ok, my faith in them is restored, but you really need to use a different recruiter or something !

icnif77:

It's not recruiter, it's 'Chinese way of doing business'.

'We are all very happy with your work, and we would like to extend our Contract' School's statement in Nov, with Contract expiration in May, next year.

April 15th: 'we can't extend the contract, because no funds. You must pay garbage disposal fee.'

'add-it': I can be PIA too, if they piss me off. I respect Contract to the t, without violations since I came to China, but I require same from the School. If 'no', 'add SAFEA in search above for ......'

SAFEA and the PSB don't do jack shit here...

 

You are better off hiring someone from the "hei shi hui" (mafia - black society) to get things done around these parts.

icnif77:

What did I just post? Few hours ago. Why don't you give us an actual 'SAFEA no action' example? Are you saying, I'm liar?

PSB is Police, and police in every country is on 'high heels'. Last one: Henan PSB got my passport a week before CNY for new RP. Passport return 2 days ago. They even gave me a paper with date, when I can get my passport back. They hold the book for RP stamp longer than a month.

No, on the grounds that I can't imagine anybody paying him for anything.

icnif77:

My great luck must be 'nobody's asking you anything'.

I'm thinking, Chinese just go after my 'heart'.

My present school 'burned' valid RP, because as we signed contract, they weren't authorised for 'laowai hire', yet.

I had to return home (for 3M), and at my return, they paid all salaries since we signed Contract in Sep. last year. Imagine that! They paid for the plane tickets, too.

Rep. assured me, I can count School will renew Contract, because I told him, I consider 'moving around China' as PIA.

Currently, I'm working on new curriculum for students, who want to go to study abroad. I'm teaching 3 different subjects (from Alberta Uni), but students English isn't that good, in other words, kids complain they don't understand lessons. So, what's the point of teaching? 

Another FT (German native) is teaching (part-time) 'Canadian history & Pre-calculus'. I observed one of his lectures at 'Canadian History': 'How to conduct an interview', and such.

School got 'stamp' from Chineser in Canada as ''school is Alberta Uni. 'offshoot". They bought loads of useless books, too. We're using book, with title 'CALM', which is earmarked as 'book for teachers, instructors, and such'. One part I get was about 'why and how teacher shouldn't bully students in the classroom'. What's the point to lecture 10-Graders (who doesn't want to be teachers) about that?

He sold them books, which are useless for students, who won't study in Canada, except we're 'polishing' their English.

So, I open Q about it, and they value my honesty, probably.

You should go off your 'valet-parking' job. Maybe you should consider 'training domesticated animals' instead. That will give you more 'authority'. 'Authority' is what you miss, IMO!

Don't go for 'dominatrix' jobs. You'll became too violent.

Doesn't everyone say to call SAFEA whenever someone posts a question about contract issues? It's not just icnif77 saying it. 

icnif77:

They're all copying me, mastards! and on the top of that, they complain my c&p is in overdrive. Can you believe that?
