He was constantly trying to intimidate me and the other teachers when I was working there too, so why would he act any differently after firing me.

My friend Grant drove me around all day, helped me sell a bunch of stuff to Book Off and Manga Soko, and showed me a nice cheap weekly mansion to stay in. I owe him big time, if you're ever in Naha go to his bar, American Idol, he's a really awesome guy.

I heard I had a time limit, something like 60 days to get a new job/sponsor or the visa becomes invalid. So, I guess that's not true? I've got as long as the visa lasts? Either way, I'm trying to get a new job ASAP.

Just check with the imigration office in Naha. Good luck!

IDK, I'd advise against the wanton destruction of your apartment. Last thing you need to do is cause an incident and get in trouble. I can see the head lines now......."Gajin mercilessly trashes apartment. Culprit's boss says: "I knew he was a bad apple, that's why I fired him.""

I'm still on the mainland here, overpopulated by English teachers..

I'm pretty sure you're fine to stick out your work visa even if the work contract is over. Many people renew their visa or get a visa with a chump company like ECC, then do a runner and teach privately, etc.

My buddy got fired/let go from his university after several years and is now receiving a few months of welfare (like 80% or so of your paycheck for 3 months). To get the welfare, you have to go to Hello Work, but I think you also need some paper from your ex-employer stating the terms of your dismissal.

There were complications on his part, as even though the university had decided to drop several teachers at once, one faculty member preparing his paperwork said it was a voluntary retirement BS, which if hadnt been fixed up right away would have gone into dispute with Hello Work, delaying the first payment for a few months!

On another note, regardless of what you did, the employer sounds like a guy who treats everyone as lower than him, probably thinks gaijins are here to be treated like dancing monkeys to make his $$ and he can talk down to you as he pwns your job ticket...

I think we all know the way to deal with bullies... just don't do it in front of witnesses or leave evidence
