Talk:Gaba Corporation

message: There seems be a lot of edits recently... 
I want to know why this link was added "News and commentary related to teaching English in Japan"
when it does seem to be serious website.  I don't think joke websites are very encyclopedic.
Please justify why it's there.  onegaiitachimasu. --Hydenobuyuki (talk) 16:33, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The external link has been removed for the time being.  The user freebilly has posted links to the same site on several japanese eikaiwa articles.  Without some sort of good justification, I would consider it spam.  Please justify it. --Hydenobuyuki (talk) 04:19, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You don't think a link to the "Gaba Teacher's Association" is a valid link from this article? It's humor, but it's very relevant IMHO!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.5.139.85 (talk) 22:24, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's a funny site, I don't know who writes that stuff but they have talent! Unfortunately, humor sites (no matter how witty) are not what is supposed to go in the external links section.Statisticalregression (talk) 10:47, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Acronym?

message: i restored part of the article that was deleted that actually defined what the "next generation" learning studio consisted of, and changed the tense to reflect past-tense as it is my understanding that it's not longer open (or not being used in that way). If someone could just put in the date when the studio closed/changed that would be great Statisticalregression (talk) 05:23, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Gaba ginza studio

message: I've been teaching English in Japan for three years, and I've never had a paid holiday or vacation leave or unemployment insurance or a raise or any guarantee that I would have a certain number of lessons to teach. I question the statement that most English teaching jobs in Japan offer these benefits. I teach classes at Japanese companies through an English school, and I'm paid hourly and have to work about an hour of unpaid labor (lesson planning) for every hour I'm paid (time in the classroom). I was briefly a member of an English teacher's union (The General Union), but this is apparently so widespread that they didn't seem to think this was unusual or a problem. I recently began working at Gaba too, and I receive no benefits there either, or pay for lesson planning, or any guarantee that I'll have lessons to teach, but the lesson planning time required is much less. At both jobs, I end up making between 1500 and 1800 yen per hour if you include lesson planning time, but it's much easier to entertain one student than 6-13 students. It is true though, that transportation to the company classes is paid, and transportation to Gaba's "learning studio" is not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.5.139.85 (talk) 12:53, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  "This means that teachers do not receive the benefits afforded most language teachers in Japan - paid annual leave, transportation costs, and unemployment insurance" is both uncited and not really related to the corporate information that this article is about.  Perhaps, it should be rewritten something along the lines of "This means that teachers are not full companies employees and do not receive employee benefits"  To go into details is not required since the reader should know what being an employee vs. a contract worker entails and if they don't know, they can click the employee link and read more about employment types. --219.108.24.231 (talk) 10:46, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Another thing about teaching at Gaba is that the number of classes available fluctuates wildly. If no one books your lessons, you don't get paid. There have been days when I only had one lesson to teach! 75% booking is good, 50% is not unusual.118.4.190.177 (talk) 03:01, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  English teaching jobs with benefits? 

message: Someon dropped in a POV tag but didn't follow up with a note on the talk here. The edit summary complained of use of Union sources. 
My personal perspective is that the material sourced to the union is just like material sourced to the Gaba company website, that they are primary sources of equal varacity and allowable under WP guidelines and rules. WP does allow primary sources when third party sources are not available. Statisticalregression (talk) 19:31, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: POV

message: The section in Employment System that talks about the number of lessons taught to qualify for the bonus is in error. The previous system was for any lesson, but the current system only takes into account the number of PEAK lessons taught.124.37.83.250 (talk) 12:01, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
