点评:I was temporarily employed by Om Studio as an EU yoga teacher. My experience with the owner, Nabil Scally, was extremely negative.
His management style is dishonest, extremely manipulative and focused primarily on his own interests, with very little consideration for others. The treatment of foreign yoga teachers was unacceptable. The working contracts appear to have little legal value and did not reflect the actual working conditions:
- The stated working hours and length of stay are used mainly to attract teachers to Morocco, but they were never completed. In spite of my 10-week contract, only ten days after my arrival I was suddenly told that my services were no longer needed. This was particularly disappointing because my clients had been satisfied with my classes.
- Scally invites several teachers at the same time for an amount of work that would only require one teacher (!!). Nobody had promised work; apparently, Scally's objectives are purely business-oriented (future networking, etc.)
- Payments were made uniquely in cash.
I experienced a very controlling and intimidating atmosphere in the studio. I was monitored behind my back and shouted at based on unverified information. I was asked to lie to new teachers about my previous experience with Scally. I was also asked to offer free classes to clients in exchange for positive reviews for Om Yoga. I witnessed similar rude and disrespectful behavior towards three other teachers. Highly manipulative owner is master of turning problems caused by him against others in order to make them feel guilty.
Overall, yoga teachers are treated as disposable resources rather than as professionals deserving basic respect and transparency. It was an unpleasant and exhausting experience that left me feeling humiliated and undervalued.
翻译:我曾受雇于Om Studio,担任欧盟地区的瑜伽教练。我与老板纳比尔·斯卡利的相处经历极其糟糕。
他的管理风格不诚实且极具操控性,一切都以自身利益为中心,完全不顾及他人的感受。他对外国瑜伽教练的对待方式更是不可接受。这些工作合同似乎几乎没有法律效力,也未能反映实际的工作条件:
- 合同中规定的工时和任职期限主要是为了吸引教师前往摩洛哥,但实际上这些条款从未得到履行。尽管我签了为期10周的合同,但在抵达仅10天后,我就突然接到通知说不再需要我的服务了。这尤其令人失望,因为我的学员们对我的教学都很满意。- Scally同时邀请了多位教师来承担本只需一名教师就能完成的工作(!!)。其实根本没人承诺会给他们工作机会;显然,Scally的目的纯粹是出于商业考量(比如建立人脉关系等)。
- 所有报酬均以现金形式支付。
我在该工作室中感受到了一种充满控制欲且令人恐惧的氛围。有人背地里监视我,还依据未经证实的信息对我大喊大叫。我还被要求向新来的教师谎报自己与Scally的合作经历。我还被要求为客户提供免费课程,以换取他们对Om Yoga的正面评价。我亲眼目睹了老板对另外三位老师也做出过类似粗鲁且不尊重的举动。这个极其善于操纵人心的老板总是把自己引发的问题归咎于他人,好让对方产生负罪感。
总的来说,瑜伽老师们被视为可随意替换的资源,而非理应得到基本尊重与对待透明化的专业人士。那是一次糟糕又令人疲惫的经历,让我感到屈辱且被轻视。
