I know what you're thinking from reading that title. But I'm tired. Really tired. Extremely toxic environment, constant micro managing, looking down on people, sometimes straight up ill-intent talking behind people's backs coupled with regular back-handed comments, bullying, and terrible work hours (I go home late at night most of the time), and I go through most of the day thinking to myself "What am I doing with my life my skills aren't being used or enhanced here there's no growth." It's made me realized the stableness and decent salary is not worth the toxic environment and working hours.
Actively looking for jobs, reaching out to BoEs trying to make a return to education. My mental health has taken to the point that I'm even considering Interac just to get away from this work place. For those currently working for Interac (particularly in Tokyo) would you mind sharing your monthly salary and if there are any pro-rated months? I'm seeing mixed information, some saying it stays the same no matter the month, including Spring when contract renewals take place and during the winter when there is a long holiday but others saying otherwise, I'd like to confirm. I'm at the point that I'll take a shit salary if it means I can get a normal work hour schedule again, and I am aware that school placement will ultimately determine whether it'll be a good or bad work environment.
I didn't want to make another separate thread for this, but if anybody that had experience or knows some information I'd be happy if you could share how Shinagawa Shouei Junior and Senior High School is. There's only one thread about it from searching and a not a lot of information, interested in applying as the conditions and content seems good but upon looking at reviews it seems there's a high drop out rate for teachers working there, particularly English teachers (one of the reviews mentioned 2 English teachers quitting within the same year). I'm desperate, but also want to avoid jumping from one fire to another, but the combination of both a terrible work environment + hours is unbearable, even eliminating one of them would help while I continue searching for direct hire jobs.
