Make them pay!

I am close to boiling point after reading Mike Walker's letter and the fact that a school has not paid a contracted teacher for two months. They were laughing when they said they will not pay you? Where did the money that was allocated for your salary go? The law of the employment jungle says "no pay = no stay". If a school can expect you to go hungry for two months (no pay) then it is time you just left NOW! Take any job, there are hundreds on this website - even if the pay is 15,000 a month (better than nothing for two months). This gives you a month to see a new city and recharge yourself. Then bounce back!
