Q: Fired and now the CFTU is going to shoot me wtf?

So i never really was very enthusiastic about teaching and then the boss told me I gotta be more happy with the students and now cause i wasn't they said I gott be fired. NExt thing a China Foreign Teacher's Union (CFTU) representative shows up and says cause I got fired now I gotta be shot tomorrow cause i'm a coward?

 

i'm glad that the cftu has good control over the teaching situation here and I really really respect what they do im just a little miffed cause I just wanted to come here and work for a while and I didn't think it was such a big deal.

 

did this happen to anybody else? Serious advice only please

Usually by the time you've spoken to a CTFU rep about being fired, it means your case has been proven without a doubt. . . Goodbye coward!

Anything mentioning the 4 Letters of Doom, no matter how and why, deserves this


If we still had cathodic tube screens, I would infect your computer with a virus that makes your screen implode. Damned flat screens.

I just don't get your sense of humor with this CFTU stuff expat. I mean you post this weird stuff every day about castration and following the leader. It's just bizarre man.

The CFTU is an obvious con...big claims, no members, anonymous forum posts cited as the only evidence, wild accusations thrown at anyone who questions it.

 

It's just one con man working a bunch of these sites.

 

It actually may be you to be honest, i remember you had a pretty suspect "Oh but aren't the CFTU just a bunch of well-intentioned people?" question at a time we had an active thread laying it all on the line. I mean really where would anybody get that idea? There are no members, only forum posts from people who claim not to be members but post links! It's completely ridiculous!

 

So yeah, either the CFTU is a one-man scam operation, or it's a creepy cult. One or the other.

dongbeiren:

Expat, I fully get your point and as I stated on the thread you're referring to it does seem pretty clear that the CFTU is something shady and probably not what it claims to be. What I don't understand is your sense of humor about it (castration, the leader and other references you make repeatedly). I'm not sure why you keep bringing this stuff up and posting about the CFTU every day. I'm pretty sure most forum members are sick of hearing about it. 

 

And if you're accusing me of being some kind of scammer or whatever I think that's pretty laughable to be honest. At the time I posted that I was an echinacities newbie who didn't get what the hell this was all about and my question reflected that.

Hey I'm not putting you on my friend. Those are really common rumors about the CFTU and they've been around for a while. I agree they are pretty grim. No laughing matter. It's not something people really dare to speak of in public.

 

Better that it's just con man Steven Robert Bolles running a website for god knows what reason than that it really is a dangerous cult.

Funny post. Have an upvote, mate.

I had to kill 14 CTFU members before exiting China. Had to fight my way through CTFU hackers, CTFU spies, CFTU enforcers, etc.

I have to say that while the STFU pisstaking is mildly amusing to somewhat interesting at times, apart from this site, i have never heard of it before. Maybe that's because i don't frequent esl websites. Just sayin

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
