[MacIntosh]

Do not work for the International School of English in Aobadai Yokohama. During my time there, the boss has demonstrated behavioral characteristics that I have recorded into the following list. He is 40 years old, balding, has black greasy hair and a horribly pockmarked face. He is also a 'I'm-better-than-you-are', classist, chauvinistic, power-abusing waste-of-flesh. He robbed me for the first time while my grandma was dying in America and I was grieving over that. Guess he hoped to get me while my guard was down. He also did the same to a coworker who took personal leave because their father was on their deathbed. He also has no ability to adjust his English towards lower-level students. To let you in on the fuller version, he:

1. comes to work late most mornings when students are waiting for his lesson to begin: approximately 5 minutes late around 75% of the time on mornings Tuesday to Friday
2. makes inappropriate sexually discriminating comments about students, especially females who study together in groups
3. states that regular days have 1 or 2 lesson preparation times, when in fact the work schedule is much busier than this: stated when I signed my contract and twice over the phone
4. says comments in an attempt to prove himself intellectually superior to others, even if its false information. this occurs with teachers in front of other teachers or students
5. talks down to students, teachers, and especially the Japanese secretaries
6. complains about materials that are misplaced or not returned, but fails to pick up his own materials in the classroom or asks others to do it
7. promises a 3 month evaluation of a teacher's abilities, then fails to do so
8. suggests that a pay raise after 3 months will be awarded if a teacher proves reliable, then fails to produce
9. fails to pay the proper salary amount, especially with overtime amounts or cancelled lesson hours
10. charged teacher who was taking personal leave for the payment of replacement teachers, along with the removal of those days regular salary, resulting in a deduction roughly double the proper amount from that teacher's salary
11. criminally negligent/incompetent accounting procedures, self-admitted to no proofreading or double checking, or possibly just intentional errors for his benefit (given his poor character, its likely he simply uses it as an excuse)
12. fails to provide the necessary resignation materials in a timely manner, fails to meet the deadline he set for himself and : both the letter of release and tax certificate
13. compensation statements are inconsistent in style and form, resulting in confusion
14. expects teachers who become aware of their incorrect salary amounts to wait until the next pay period to receive what they deserved days or weeks earlier
15. dismisses late or incorrect compensation as if it were a minor problem
16. speaks poorly about previous teachers who have left the school: spoke of Anushka, Evan, and Rose (just in case you guys are reading this!, lets push a lawsuit on him)
17. shows favoritism to those who suck up
18. fails to pay the necessary severance pay upon immediately firing a teacher
19. makes inappropriate comments to teachers: 'those pants make you look fat', called coworker's husband a leech and then said he was just joking, social-class type insults towards employees going to a restaurant that fails to meet his own preference
20. talked entirely too much in lessons: student stated
21. two-faced with teachers and staff, especially secretaries
22. fails to follow his own school's custom lesson plans: primarily with numerous morning students witnessed by myself
23. called to ask fellow teacher to work for him the morning of his birthday during the 10 minute break between lessons, could have asked well in advance for such a favor rather than irresponsibly at the last moment, also made this seem as though it were paid emergency overtime and instead claimed it were a simple shift swap(despite it being made only 5 lessons before the time it would occur)
24. fails to follow his own school's lesson structure, often extending warmup for entire class: primarily with morning students witnessed by myself, overly used listening warmup activity with sound effects
25. switches students with other teachers for his benefit, such as students with similar interests or young attractive female students: switched with me twice in the 10 minute break before the lesson started
26. hires young attractive female students as secretaries or temporary workers
27. fails to pay teachers final salaries on time
28. hires people on independent contracts that suggest teachers are actively scheduling their own students, preventing them from avoiding taxes for his own gain; then states that he's not quite sure why he arranged it that way as if it were an accident(keeping in mind that he has more than 10 years of experience)
29. cannot apologize when he is caught red-handed or admit to doing something morally wrong
30. cheats teachers who are employed with working holiday visas by overtaxing them and refusing to return the tax money, even when contacted by the government tax office
31. produces written statements that suggest problems with teachers, only to keep them on their guard and attempt to assert control, e.g. satellite-controlled time system and suggestions that many teachers are late for classes or leaving classes early; then ignoring this system with later teachers whom he liked better(who actually have larger problems with tardiness than the original group). another example is suggesting that there are problems returning materials when there are so many new teachers at the school that returning materials incorrectly is to be expected. yet another example is the vocab tracker concept that he winds in and out of: fall of 2005 with time related statements, spring of 2006 with material related statements, fall of 2006 vocab tracker disappearing, winter of 2006 vocab tracker being strictly enforced and complained about, spring of 2006 with vocab tracker disappearing yet again.
