BKC Moscow Lies

We cannot keep tally of how many lies we have been told since we have been here. This is an attempt.

The Lies That We Have Been Told by BKC Moscow Boro Ladies

Lie #1 -  "We can't sign that. You have to wait for Nastia to sign it."

And so we wait for Nastia to return. When she does not return, and one of us was still standing in the 3rd office, finally, one of the Nastias decided to sign it. "It" was a piece of paper in a folder stapled to the wall, accessible to everyone.

Lie #2: "You have to get your bank card from the bank. We do not posses any teacher bank cards."

One of us went to get our bank card and was told quite rudely the above statement. After the rest of us explained to her that Boro had ALL of our bank cards, she phoned them and asked why she needed to go to a Russian bank where no one speaks English to retrieve her bank card when other teachers have picked theirs up at Boro. She was told she must pick up her bank card at the bank. No exceptions.

(She was on the BKC Moscow Hit List)

Lie #3: "You will be paid for holidays."

No. We will not. Our contract is extended.

Lie #4: "I don't have the phone number of your internet company. You will have to wait for Anna."

Our brave contributor continued to demand the phone number, and eventually, with a long sigh and complaints from the Boro lady, the phone number of the internet company was retrieved from Anna's desk.

Lie #5: "We are here to help you."

As we have explained for months, BKC Moscow is there to help themselves and no one else. The Boro ladies are liars and very lazy. There is a way to get them to do what you ask. You will continue to be lied to, but you may receive what you need.

We will discuss the bribes that are accepted by the Evil Queen and the Lazy Lying Boro Ladies of BKC Moscow in a future post.
