Not The Only One to Suffer at The Hands of An Abusive Administration

  Lest any of you get the overly-optimistic notion that my nightmare was just an isolated or rare transgression by the nursing university administration, let's flash forward 4 months to early January 2008 and take a look at an email from Dr. Peng that illustrates another of the kind of underhanded and deplorable tactics the-then administration used to cower and manipulate the Taiwanese admin and teaching staff while abusing their rights.

Dear Curtis:

I am so glad that you get your way and know how to win for your dignity. 

The authority of NTCN had lost her head!

At the end of 2007, the last working day, the personnel office ordered all the teachers and assistants of special plan (the situation of what your position was) to sign an agreement of salary deduction in the coming year, without any explanation! 50-60 staffs are announced to sign before 2 PM otherwise they will not be employed in the next year. 

Although after fighting they got a promise that the salary will not be changed, but it is harmful to our staffs. All but the decision makers (you can guess who) think what a ridiculous rough policy!  

And, at that day two of the assistant were announced that their contracts will not be renewed. Moreover, the third one was informed at the afternoon of 2nd Jan 2008 to leave her job even she already signed the agreement. The only reason is "according to the date of the contract"! 

One of our colleagues said this event was a copy of what happened on Curtis, although not all the same

Win what you should have from your lawsuit, or NTCN will never give you a cent!    

With Regards

SY Peng   Jan 6  2008
