Yet Another Fax

I wonder if the informal language is a last-ditch attempt to create some feeling of friendship and mutual appreciation between Saruhashi and his alienated staff - they're buddies, and you can't back out on a buddy! Kinda like a junkie asking for 20 bucks from his grandpa and promising it'll be "the very last time, really. Would I let you down?!?"

Yes. Yes you would. You have, you are, and you can go further still. And all the cute, friendly, informal language in the world won't change that.

Mr Sahashi always seems to have an excuse for his delays....
He is unprofessional. If Nova pulls through this, who wants to say they work for a company represented by such a man? How many teachers and staff can continue working for someone they dont trust in an unstable enviroment? Mr Sahashi owes every employee and student something more......

If Nova go under do you think he is going to feel safe walking the streets?

That filthy liar definitely has to be sued, after all the financial and moral prejudice that he's already caused.
I would feel very bitter if he escaped. That guy's destiny is to spend the rest of his days rotting in a cell.

Yeah, I basically agree. Though I don't see how he can blame it on the foreign work force and have it accepted by anyone as a plausible excuse.

I certainly can imagine him saying something along the lines of
"Unfortunately, it is with great regret that I must inform all of the staff and the public that due to the disloyal behavior and the lack of company spirit by many of foreign instructors, for refusing to work despite some minor pay delays, Nova, this company that I love and have given everything for has been forced to declare bankruptcy."

I'd say the company will have probably collapsed before the new JASDAQ deadline, though the only thing that gives me the slightest bit of hope for our next payment is that the Japanese staff may have not gotten paid so that instructors will.
Does anyone want to make print outs that say (in both Japanese and English) "If we don't paid on Monday, we WILL stop teaching!" ? ..and have it passed around the MM centre? A posted on every wall and cubical inside?
..and faxed to president Monkey-bridge?

Why doesnt some just do I cut and paste job from one of Saruhashi's bullshit announcements. If you can speak Japanese, type something like ' I have taken the long overdue step of resigning and will now be leaving the country for Thailand where I plan to spend my days drunk in a bar with two underage ladyboys' on an official Nova fax and then send it to all branches. (there is a function on branch fax machines...if they still have them)...oh and to the Japanese press for good measure

ＮＯＶＡ労組、経産省に要請書を提出
2007年10月09日11時45分

　英会話学校最大手のＮＯＶＡ（大阪市）の外国人講師の多くが加入する労働組合「ゼネラルユニオン」（同）などは９日、経済産業省に対し、同社が従業員給与の支払いや受講生への解約金返還を遅延していることについて、省として対策を講じるよう申し入れた。講師が仕事を続けられる体制づくりや、消費者被害の拡大防止策の立案などを求めている。

　ゼネラルと、全国一般労組東京南部の代表者らが同日午前、経産省に要請書を提出。レッスンや仕事が継続できる体制、受け皿づくりの検討▽消費者被害の拡大防止の施策の立案▽語学学校へのコンプライアンス（法令順守）確立の指導、などを求めた。

　両組合は同日、全国の語学学校で組織する「全国外国語教育振興協会」（東京）など２業界団体に対しても、外国人講師の雇用安定や、解約に備えた語学各校による基金を業界団体に創設することなどを要請する。

I don't know who submitted that last post, but I suspect that it wasn't an English speaker. A native speaker would take one look at that translation and realise how bad it is. Was it Japanese staff? Or just a lazy instructor?

Notice how that butt fucking cunt doesn't bother to apologise to the foreign staff and how that fax was only directed at the J-staff.

From what I hear, he's off somewhere in France playing golf, spending money that is rightfully ours and what the fuck does he care?! He's pocketed his millions/billions.

Hope that bastard chokes on a fucking snail.

He deserves to go to jail and get raped like he's raped us all.

DEATH TO MONKEYBRIDGE!

Looks like Saruhashi has pulled a fast one and you all may be eating your words...at least for the time being.

Might get another month out of this.

If language learning is skill, then how do children become bilingual or even trilingual? It has a lot more to do with effort than any inherent skill.
Also, if you actually read my email, I wasnt being racist. I was commenting on the fact that any foreign national who doesnt speak English in an English speaking country would have almost zero opportunities..as opposed to Westerners living in places like HK, Singapore and the pink bunny world of Japan.
Tell me if thats racism or just stating a fundamental disadvantage for non-English speakers....pal

i think you:re missing the point, dude. and i agree that it shows a lot of disrespect to take no interest in learning the language of the country in which you live. i haven:t met a nova teacher yet that can order a fucking round of beers.
