Would this qualify as "burning my bridges"?

hahahaha.

(I realize the housing issue is what makes this particularly tricky.)

Also, the letter should be brief, much briefer than ten pages. And skip the quotes.

The Michael Moore method of quitting: bringing up all of your fellow employees, shouting a bunch of things that people might agree with in a way that doesn't necessarily get the point across all that well, and then tendering everyone's resignation on their behalf whether they like it or not.

The Adrien Brody method of quitting: first, embrace your boss in a passionate smooch, make some quip about them probably not expecting that to be in the job description, getting all emotional, and telling the security guard to "shut up" as they're trying to remove you from the building.

I'm thinking of reporting the actual legal violations though. Does anyone know what the statute of limitations on assault in NYS is?

"New York State already exempts class A violent felonies from the statute of limitations. This bill will extend that exemption to class B violent felonies which includes crimes such as first degree attempted murder, first degree rape and sodomy, first degree assault, and first and second degree kidnapping. Presently, these felonies are subject to a five year statute of limitations."

and what's this about legal violations?

The thing is that I already know that I'm not going to regret this. How do you regret completely fucking over people who treat you like this?

Mandee, yeah...the whole place is like a sick, psychotic nightmare that I have been rendered inable to get out of because they own my apartment. I quit = I must find a new place immediately. Except I've realized THIS DOESN'T REALLY WORK - what are they going to do, get the Gestapo after me? I can stay here as long as I bloody want, eviction proceedings take ages.

I've changed my mind anyway, just now. I'm going to write a regular letter of resignation, and tape it to a copy of Animal Farm.

hstencil, I don't think they have any clue. They have this weird agreement document that they make employees living in the building sign that it's contingent on employment. However, I never signed one. And if they accept a check from me post-employment (they give you a month but you have to pay for it) it's as good as admitting I have a lease.

The ones I live with I don't mind really! Actually it's funny because my three supervisors are all really nice people who I like a lot - they're good guys. It's just that my "main" supervisor is the CFO and he does NOTHING to help me out at all. He's great, very nice, but he's quite content to avoid confronting the people who cause the problem. He'd just rather have the three competent people in the office do ALL THE WORK ALL THE TIME and let the other group run around willy nilly and cause a m assive disturbance and be petulant about their complete incompetance, to boot. So in basic, my boss is a REALLY NICE GUY who I don't WANT to totally fuck over - but his complete avoidance of conflict has basically fucked me over.

Basically, the only way to change the situation is to fire half the department and replace them.

Matos: I have a lot of stuff. Um, a huge shitload of stuff. There's like no way, I'd have to get a place, but it's really not as hard as people make it out to be, I'd just have to be willing to pay the agent percent and not go it by myself to get it done quicker.

And c'mon you have to at least tell us WHICH Foucault quote(s).

Ally, no matter what you do keep copies of everything. And if possible see if you can get a copy of your personnel file, that is if one is kept on you. But don't do the letter thing. It'll come back to haunt you.

BRITISH PEOPLE ARE SICK.

Alex, not that your question matters now that I've posted Jeremy Bentham's mummified head, but in my late night rambling madness, I had a real keen eye on Return the Gift. And was going to title the letter "Capital (It Fails You Now)".

Ally will now sign up for all sorts of classes on early 19th century English political, social and philosophical history and eventually write a 800-page novel wherein Bentham travels through time, encounters his own mummified body, and decides to avoid this fate by importing rock and roll back to his own time. To this end he kidnaps Adam Ant in "Stand and Deliver" guise.

So anyway, Ally, this novel of yours.

gabbneb: the thing is, going in and beating the shit out of someone at my workplace wouldn't really be out of character for my work. I could really honestly do whatever I like in terms of quitting without fear of retribution because I know too much, in scary X-Files terminology. However, I'm too nice. I saw a couple of my coworkers on the street today! They were standing, staring at a truck. It was quite odd.

just sent the second coming to a client wanting to know why things don't work as well as they used to. v much looking fwd to response.

some guy studying political science barf was introduced to me at a party the other night and the person introducing us said of him "he's very passionate" and i said "but about what" and he said "taking over the world" barf and i said "see, the best lack all conviction and the worst are full of passionate intensity" and he looked perplexed
