Rumor mill is starting to buzz and I have heard a lot of things...
1. Gaiji staff are all gone at the end of this month. They have all been asked to resign and as far as I know March 31st will be their last day. From April 1st the foreign staff have no support in Head Office... We are in trouble with accomodation, bad luck... We have a problem with our pay, try and fend for yourself... I heard about this a couple of weeks back, but was sworn to secrecy... Now however, it is already out in Letsjapan forums, so now I can confirm the truth in it...
2. More standby... Thats right, you heard (read) correctly... More instructors are being put on standby, to come back, who knows when... Those of us in the branches already know the precarious position that student reservations are in... Students try to reserve and there is a straight purple screen visible, meaning no reservations are possible... This will mean that students can continue to not book lessons. If this is the case, then the earlier faxes about a couple of cancelled lessons through the company causing the company to fail show themselves to be a heaping pile of crap...
There are more things on the Japanese side about pay cuts and the fact that GComm can't borrow money anymore, but all of these are things that have recently been on Letsjapan... Thats not where I have heard them, but they are starting to get some things right... Has anyone heard anything else? Any other rumors doing the rounds? Let me know... Good luck... Let's hope you are not all going on standby...

Thought it was time to pop in and say hi. Seems the Apitas are finally hitting the dust. I like the way that the word refresh rather than close or transfer is being used. Judicious use of the English language? I guess it does conjure up a different imagery. Of course now the teacher ratio is not so much a 1-40/60/100 or whatever but a requirement that the day ends with a 3.6 over group diplomat lessons. It doesnt take mauch to come in under this ratio. One or two lessons with a lucky man to man and its all over. To reduce the possibility of this happening (my speculation but based on recent events) zone c is gone so new students, who may be able to say hello, start at zone B. Level 3 students are having lesson availability reduced. For example a level 3 has been asked to not do so many lessons and to please not book at certain times of the day. Also 5 lesson classes seem to be the target. One hopes that the "refreshed" schools will provide a more adequate and purpose built lesson room. It gets a bit "close" at the moment with 6 people in a cubicle that could barely hold 5.
Just an aside for those who give people a hard time for staying with neo-nova. Making disparaging comments, letsjapan is rife with them, without knowing the situations of those of those involved serves no purpose other than to denegrate the authors.
Thanks for the comment anon... I am actually working in one of the refreshed branches and plan a post about it soon... There are 5 booths, but each one is more accomodating for 5 students... There are a number of odd things about the place, and I will mention those in the upcoming post... Zone A might well be on its way out, Chibikko is already gone, and it would not surprise me if Zone G students are being asked to book less often...
Most of the Neo-Novites trying to get some money together and using the company for paychecks are used to the disparaging comments on letsjapan, and for that reason, most choose not to read it... I know I have nearly entirely stopped...
