I'll be honest...
I'll be honest. I worked as Head of Department at Taylor's for 2 years, but the situation was so terrible that I left midway through. I only found out after joining, but I was the third HoD that year alone. Staff turnover rates were abnormally high, and everyone was dissatisfied. The dissatisfaction wasn't directed at Malaysia as a country, but at how the school was being run. In fact, I formally terminated my contract 5 months after I stopped coming to work. Even the principal quit halfway through his 3-year contract. The administration told me, "I'm not running the school, and you're not a HoD either," so I couldn't even make necessary decisions on the ground. It's 99.99% a local school—they're just putting up an "international" sign. The school hires talented people for middle management and senior positions only to make itself look good. Those people have no actual authority. Ordering supplies requires 13 approvals. There's an ICT support team of about 10 people, yet it took 58 days just to install demo software on a laptop. The English department head can't get money to buy a dictionary; I couldn't even buy glue and scissors—it's absurd management at that level. All staff were aware that the administration and owner (Chinese) were stripping decision-making from those actually doing the work. This was my first experience working at a profit-first school, and I never want to do it again. Fortunately, I was in a financial position where I could negotiate my contract and didn't care when they said I wouldn't get paid if I didn't come in, so I managed to leave while imposing significant penalties on the school. I could have stayed longer in Malaysia and made the school pay my rent, but all I wanted was to get away from TISP. If any teachers out there are thinking about working at TISP, please, absolutely don't do it.
