...I think people out there should get together and boycott Korea for two or three years until Korea starts offering better pay and work contracts.
Personally I think people out there should get together and boycott Korea for two or three years until Korea starts offering better pay and work contracts. But, I suppose folks will come over anyways. So, good luck.
Article 9 is the "throw you under the bus" clause meaning the cowardly owner or manager won't defend you and stand up to complainers. They'll just go wobbly at the knees and blame you for any complaints and give you the boot quickly. Add in the awful pay and low end rental allowance, plus long workday, it's just awful all the way around. Personally I think people out there should get together and boycott Korea for two or three years until Korea starts offering better pay and work contracts. But, I suppose folks will come over anyways. So, good luck. See if you can find a better contract if you can.
6. 300k housing is fairly standard. Better to take the allowance and spend an extra 150k to get something decent. Arranging housing in Korea is very easy compared to other countries.
I thought 400k was standard. :o
