Maple Bear up to it's old tricks

I hear about news from the front lines of Maple Bear, in Suwon, Korea from time to time. The latest in Maple Bear centers on management. Currently, they are asking the teacher/s to smile more often. It sounds like some parents were complaining that some teachers look miserable. Duh! Try working there you wing-nuts!

There was a meeting with the Korean director and the owner where they told the teacher/s to smile more because their sour smirks are damaging their school's image! I also heard that they were thinking of firing someone but asked him to stay on instead for another month or two. He may have been fired earlier except four of us were leaving in August!

The ultra-sensitive, fat one left for some Latin country, thoroughly disgusted with Korean staff, teachers and kids. She made my friend's life not so good with her constant "c$@@t blocking" of her female friend and him. The tall, string bean one, who wouldn't stop her freakin noisy stomping in her apartment above me for months, was fisnishing her contract; the quiet, angry one had quit and me, the Maple Bear unruly one, was being canned--all within the month of August. They couldn't afford to lose one more teacher!
