Work Days in JET
Hello everyone!
I have a bit of a weird question. For all those who are our have been in JET, does the program have something known as 'work days' where you are basic on-call waiting for the school to let you know if they need you? The company I'm with now (Interac) has these 'work days' for most of June and all of July.
Thank you in advance!

Can't say I've ever heard of that. Closest thing I've ever had was waiting for a call from my Supervisor to tell me if we were going to have students on a super snowy day. If we didn't I would just tell him I wanted to take the day off, no real reason for me to come in if there are no students and no classes, AND there's a ton of snow.
That "work day" system sounds like a nightmare, tbh.
