After graduating, I started looking for a job as a trainer in English language. So, I was fairly new to the working environment but I've always tried to maintain good with ethic and a professional relationship with my employer. When I started the job, I was promised an incentive on every student that I teach as long as they get a desired result.
Fast forward to one month in, 3 of my students did achieve a very good score, but I was not given any incentive. It was said to be that I only trained them for a few weeks so it wouldn't count. This was not specified when I joined the institute but I let it go.
I was also told to motivate the students to sign up for universities and colleges the boss recommends even if it doesn't exactly match with their goals because he would earn a huge chunk of profit (in lacs of rupees per student) for sending them there. And I'm not sure if withholding documents is legal, but he used to keep the students' passports and other documents in a locker at the institute so they wouldn't be able to go to a different agency. I didn't think this was right so I refrained from engaging in conversations about this stuff with students.
After two more months, they had a trip planned to another state over the weekend. Since I could not join, boss asked me to handle it all by myself in the absence of staff. This was not acceptable to me and as I did not want to ditch him, I communicated my requirements, but he refused to listen. It was expected of me to still come and teach the students while they were on vacation because one of the students had her exam in the upcoming week.
The said student has never been consistent in attendance or homework. I've communicated this time and again with my employer that I need her to be consistent on the material I teach her for her to ace that test.
On that particular weekend, I called in sick as the rest of the students were okay with an off. When I called in sick, I was never asked if I was okay or not; not even as a form of professional courtesy. The student kept calling me non stop and demanded I take her classes online at night, beyond my working hours. My boss conveyed the wrong things and told her I 'would be' taking classes when I clearly said I would not.
Anyways, I did not want to ruin her test, so I heard her end of the story over text and motivated her as much as I could. This seemed to have worked and she did get the desired result to get into the university she was targeting, but since I did not donate my time for free to his student, he did not pay me the discussed incentive.
This just happen to a lot of people but I'm fairly new in this sector and just needed to get this out. I know I won't be getting my money sigh
Edit: I live in a third world country, so if I take him to court, he will simply pay off some people and come after me later. Should I post anonymous Google review?
