Two weeks, no pay.

I put this together illustrate the deterioration of mood, after two weeks of broken promises and no pay. Think about this before you decide to work in the eikaiwa industry in Japan.

So sorry to know that you got involved in this situation. I was reading the news about NOVA which is financially collapsed...

[rainbowhill88]

Yes it was a pretty shitty thing to happen financially for us, but I'm much better off not working for them now. I've got a few privates together and more time to spend with my family. Next year will be much more fun I hope. Thanks umineko.

maybe you should sell your CAR or stop drinking Asahi and get a Sake One Cup instead. It appears to me you are in a much better situation than most. Hence your whinging falling on my deaf ears.

[rainbowhill88]

So good of you to comment, and some good money saving ideas as well. Yes I am in a much better position than most, thanks to the love and affection of my family in Japan.

Thanks! Great honest video. I wish you the best of luck making the transition out of Nova.

[rainbowhill88]

Thanks very much, the transition is under way. My last day of work is tomorrow, and I am already feeling more relaxed. I can get back to the scheduled program of study and haiku.

@LuckyDeviI you're right lucky, teaching english in Japan just for people who want to see Japan and party. It is not something you should rely on for a career. Did the people who barely had any money left ever hear of budget management or saving for emergencies?

You gotta it!!! Nova going under is one of the funniest thing I've saw since the "Great Depression"?? Japanese people are figuring out that you don't have to listen to these mcSenseis to learn English. Thank you KARMA!! What goes around comes around.

It came as no surprise at all to me. Nova snatched up prime locations, bolstered by unqualified staff... Am I the only one that would walk by a Nova and wonder how they stayed in business??? Teaching English in Japan is a not for people wanting to make a comfortable living, it's for guys that want to party and nail broads. Find a real job in Japan if you want to enjoy life.

i work at nova in tokyo and i spent the whole of today going around to get answers-there is no one who can give me any answers! if we continue working, we will be waiting for a long time for pay-just like the staff have. this company has no respect for employees whatsover. my teiki has also run out yet they expect me to go to work and pay my own money.

im really eager to hear what people in other areas of japan, working for nova think about this. please email me and let me know.
