Throwaway account because mine is tied to my social media.
Last year, I (F25) began working for a language academy that promised to sponsor my visa if I passed the probation period, they also promised that I would go from a contractor type of contract to a seishain one and that my salary would be of around 220.000 yen per month. I think they also gave that info to immigration when they submitted my papers to get the visa.
The thing is that the situation never changed and I’m still on a contractor type of job. On average, my salary is of 135.000 yen per month, I work from Monday to Monday without rest and I have to be at my job’s place mostly from 10am until 9pm (I have a few classes per day but they are scattered throughout the day, so I have to stay there the whole day because I live one hour away). They also haven’t enrolled me into the pension system and they’re also not paying employees’ taxes.
Although I’ve been working for them for a few months, I got tired of the situation and began job hunting. Some days ago, I got a new job offer and tried to quit my current job with 3 weeks of notice in advance, but my boss is not accepting my resignation. According to her, I’m not giving her enough time (the contract says I should notify them one month in advance), I’m breaching contract and I should work for them until August at least. But the opportunity for a new job is happening right now, not on August, and I’m desperate.
I asked her if she’ll sue me and she said no, but she still refuses to accept my resignation. So I don’t know what to do and some advice would be appreciated.
