What would you do?

Okay I have been working at this hotel since moving back to my home town. I have put up with crap everything to the assistant manager and me being the only front desk workers and me putting in 60+ hours of work a week to getting passed over as a front desk supervisor for someone who hadn't been there 90 days and who since getting the promotion has used the position as a way to get booty calls. Rumor is he got the promotion because he was doing the general manager. Rumors (and it is more true than rumor) that he has hit on underage girls while working and has left the desk to visit guest rooms.

Also he is messing up simple office task like posting money under a negative account.

I got another job and will be starting. It pays $2 more an hour. I had orientation with the new company and start in about 10 days. I wanted to do the honorable thing and give 2 weeks. Today I find out the assistant manager lost my resignation letter. The hotel will not be paying me my paid time off ( they claim it is because I haven't been there a full year.) She expects me to train my replacement ( since I wasn't qualify enough to get the front desk supervisor position shouldn't I be unqualified to train the new employee? Shouldn't that be the task of the Front Desk Supervisor?) and she is trying to get me longer than what I had plan.

My wife said I should just leave now. Call my new company and ask if I can start Monday. She said the hotel isn't going to give me a good reference if they don't want to. I was always taught to be honorable.

my wife is saying if it was a job that was truly respecting you she could see it BUT why be honorable when they have screwed me.

1. I would write a detailed letter...

Explaining all this (including the sexual escapades) and leaving as planned. Send it to an executive a couple of layers above the people involved (i.e., general manager) They can't do much more to you at this point. Threaten them with a lawsuit if they make any noise about blackballing you.

2. Leave.

You already have the next job lined up.

3. Be careful about talking to the new employer about starting immediately.

They may not think much of you leaving your current job technically without notice and that may make them skeptical about you. Sometimes it's better to bite the bullet and stick it out as you'd planned than to put something negative into the mind of you new boss before you even start. It's only two weeks.

4. Don't bring your new employer into the drama of your old workplace.

You can do the honorable thing without selling yourself out. First, I would resubmit the resignation letter and keep back-up copies just in case that one gets lost too. Second, I would check the employee manual if there is one to determine how much, if any, PTO I've accumulated and bring the manual to the assistant manager with the relevant portion highlighted. I would also mention that a complaint would be filed with the wage and hour board if I do not receive the compensation to which I am entitled. I would also document this on paper. Third, "Ask the Front Desk Supervisor" = training replacement.

5. I would send the letter certified, return receipt requested.

That way he would have a signature of the person receiving the letter.

7. That's a good idea.
