Job loss often ranks among the highest in stress on a list of life-altering events such as a death in the family, divorce, and serious illness. ... There is a typical cycle that most people experience when they go through the loss of a job. It includes denial, anger, frustration, and eventually adaptation.

I had a job once where I felt constant anxiety. I thought that I would be fired. Another (extremely narcissistic) teacher had something against me, and they tried to have me removed from the school. I wasn't the only victim; the teacher also made the lives of other teachers hard, along with the Chinese staff. Much harder than it should have been. In fact, the teacher made the Chinese staff cry on multiple occasions. In a western workplace, all this would be referred to as bullying, and the teacher would be fired immediately. I even think the teacher hated the Chinese people, which is truly ironic.
The teacher had issues with all the English teachers, of which two were pressured to leave. They pushed one of the teachers out because they couldn't handle the fact that they stood up for themselves.
Let's hope this teacher learns from past experience, but I doubt it. A really sad situation. Let’s hope; ‘What goes around comes around’.

Anxiety surrounding a new job is completely normal. In fact, as Fast Company reported in 2015, science says people are "hard-wired" to feel anxious in pretty much any new situation. With the added pressure of wanting to make a good first impression with your new supervisor, or to excel at your job duties off the bat, it's no surprise that making the jump to a new career can be an anxiety-provoking endeavor.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change student visa to labourer one is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
