If anyone has any experience with something like this…

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there are people that had to leave JET early in the middle of the year for any unavoidable circumstances or a new job opportunity?
Recently I got a new opportunity elsewhere and the BOE are against me leaving.
They told me about how good of an ALT I was and kept bringing up contract conditions and kept pressuring me by saying that they would call my new place of work to rescind the offer. They also told me my new job opportunity is an avoidable circumstance even though I told them that I want to advance my career and I’m thinking of getting engaged with someone that lives near my new work opportunity.
I know JET is only temporary, but I thought more about my future and spent more than 3-4 years doing my best for the city, but I’m still shocked that they wouldn’t let me end in peace. The new job opportunity is more stable than JET.

If there’s anyone that has any kind of experience dealing with this situation, I’d like to know.
I’m experiencing emotional stress and some soft/kind words or a DM would be helpful.
