I’ve been working for an EIKAIWA for the past 9 years, roughly. It’s had it’s ups and downs, but recently the manager has gone from bad to awful. Nitpicking every small thing I do, being unrealistic with several “instructions,” and constantly complaining to everyone she can about me to anyone who will listen in Japanese.
Granted, I am nowhere near fluent in Japanese, but I can pick out a few things here and there. I’m reaching the end of my rope. I don’t want to do something I’ll regret later (like quitting before I have a larger safety net ready for my family.)
My mental health is starting to take a hit, and I’m sure my physical health is getting dragged down too. I keep telling myself “one more year,” but it’s not working, and I really don’t want to just walk off the job.
I’m frustrated, and mostly just tired. I know they’re trying to push me to quit, or at least that’s what it feels like. I don’t know what to do. I can’t take another month of this, and I really don’t want to. At the same time, I’m wanting to make sure my family doesn’t have to worry about losing the house or not having enough to eat.
