Monday comes around and all I can think about is the weekend.
Saturday hits and my thoughts are only “I don’t wanna work on Monday.”
My job isn’t horrible, I’m just lazy.
I don’t really like going outside or talking to people. In a perfect world I could be locked in my room and have outside time whenever I please. But, as a functioning member of society, I must wake up and do my daily grind.
It doesn’t help that for the past few months I’ve been working 2 weekends a month in addition to one hour of overtime almost daily.
Recently people above my pay grade have been coming to our location to watch our lessons and give critique and advice on how to run the school more efficiently. I understand the need for it, and I don’t mind criticism. However, I’ve been feeling stressed knowing someone is watching everything I do… everyday.
If the boss isn’t at our school they are watching our cameras consistently. We get messages 5 minutes after a slip up, reminding us to not do it again. We get “replied” to in person if our team was talking about the school together, privately, and questioning some methods or advice.
They let us know that the cameras are being watched and that they are listening too.
My coworker thinks that they’re scouting schools for possible leaders. People who are willing and fit to be the head teacher at a new school.
The company is dwindling with native English teachers. My male coworker, the other American, is finishing his time with the company mid-March.
They said we won’t get a new teacher for a few months, so, we just need to deal with 3-teachers, 70-kids until then. In addition to the high number of kids we are doing Spring School which means a morning and afternoon class.
The company is pretty much going to work us into the ground and act confused if one of us decides we can’t do it anymore.
Of course they’re worried it’s going to be me first because I am the last foreigner at this specific location and all foreigners “quit when the going gets tough,” in summary.
The only thing I miss about America is smoking weed and being able to work from home.
Maybe if I could take the edge off with a little bit of THC I’d have more pep in my step when I wage slave.
