Salary Cut
Wednesday, February 2, 2005-3:23 PM
The Maple Leaf English School for Kids gave me another chance to show that I have no spine. They reduced my daily pay from 300 to 240 renminbi because the class size is getting smaller and smaller since more and more students leaving to start their Spring Festival vacation.
Of course it doesn't make sense to pay me less. I never knew how many students there'd be to begin with. And anyways, three hours is three hours whether they can fill the class or not.
In fact, the original deal that I changed my schedule to accomodate was to teach six hours a day for 600 renminbi. This was cut in half on the first day since they didn't have enough students signed up.
Natasha actually anticipated this happening. When she asked me what I'd do, I was honest and said I'd probably just accept it.
