But I quit.
To those who know me well, this will draw comparison's to the famous Dulaney Lion's Baseball Scandal of 2002, which saw me quit as captain of the Dulaney Lions Baseball team solely because I did not want to miss the champions league final between Real Madrid and Leverkusen.
But, just because they gave me the title of Deputy GM does not mean that they treated me like one in this company. No indeed, I was treated very poorly. Even though my work was excellent and very critical to the operation of the business, I was lied to, made to work long hours with no overtime, and even denied the use of my passport via them putting it in their household safe. I was also horribley underpaid and lied to about future pay raises and incentive packages.
The Dulaney Lions were innocent, and I left them; The company in Shanghai (name omitted) were horribly corrupt and inept at the same time, and deserve many horrible things. horrible.
I have several jobs on the horizon, the one that will end up suiting me best for now seems to be a teaching position. My main goal for the time being is to improve my chinese so that I can pass a proficiency test and get into a Master's Degree program. The teaching position, unlike my current one, affords me that time. I have not come to start a business career; I am not a businessman.
By the by, I do not regret quitting as captain of the dulaney lions baseball team to watch that champions league final, for several reason. Zidane hit an amazing left footed volley into the upper 90, and it was the last final that madrid has won to date. Although i'm not a madrid fan, I am a Zidane fan ... and it was an entertaining game.
