A question for those who’ve worked with dispatch / contracting companies in Japan:
Is it considered normal for contractors to be spoken to in an openly dismissive, hostile, or demeaning way?
For a while I worked for TORAIZ and during that time I regularly received messages from the manager that were unnecessarily unpleasant. On the rare occasions we’d speak over ZOOM, he was a bit better but always badmouthing other contractors that he’d just been dealing with.
Today I was talking about this with a friend who works at MEXT, and he was genuinely surprised by this. I realized that perhaps I’d gotten used to it.
Just wondering if this goes on at AEON/GABA/NOVA and other places that contract teachers? Has anyone ever formally challenged it? If so, what was the outcome?
