I'm 21 years old and at the beginning of the year I got a job as an English Teacher, at the place I used to study (I'm Brazilian).
Since I got the message that I was hired, I started asking about the salary for obvious reasons:
- Because I needed to plan myself financially to see my GF since she moved due to college.
- And also to know if it was worth my time.
And since day 1 she had been avoiding or just delaying. Despite everyone telling me to not accept the job, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and signed the contract.
She then gave me my work hours and was a great boss, allowing me to leave during work to solve personal issues and etc.
After that she gave me my salary R$2200 (which is great in Brazil for around 22h per week). I then thanked her and planned myself.
Proceed to the end of the month, literally one day before payday, she informs me that accounting had gotten my salary wrong.
Reading the email she was sent, they got my salary wrong by R$800, over 1/3 of the original pay.
She apologized but I felt betrayed. Since then I started sending resumes to other English Schools to see if I can get out of there.
She then has scheduled a meeting with me to talk and also mentioned that in March I'm supposed to get more hours to compensate, but that's not fair.
