如果我是你，我会这么写：XX: Sorry I will try best but I will have to deal with xx which has two months behind. Given the nature of emergency, I encourage we have a group meeting to discuss the priorities. xx , if you could kindly set up the meeting that will be great - let me know if you want to to do it. cc: xx, director, HR.

I have been to quite a few countries/Cities including USA. It is always similar thing everywhere. You have to fight to survive in office. If you can do the job don't be afraid to speak for yourself, especially in a professional way.

你最大的问题是只有两种状态，要么是忍，要么是爆发，从忍到爆发没有让他们感觉到中间过程，所以他们才很震惊。这个中间过程非常重要，你要让他们感觉到这个从量变逐渐逼近质变的过程，这种交流的结果会让他们明白你的任何反应都是predictable and reasonable。。。

Very beautifully handled! Two thumbs up! Especially admire LZ's ability to respond properly and instantly face to face.

my 2 cents, if the company feels that you could possiblly raise law/legislate issue you are in a very dangerous position.

嗯，你经理有点维客，不应该什么have to好象多委屈似的，口气应该firm一点，"lz, please cooperate with xxx to get the job done".公司花钱请经理就是为了告诉技术人员先做什么事，后做什么事。站在雇主的角度，技术人员不服管不能为我所用，有天大的本事对我有什么用？

Re-read the posts you referred to -- but can't reach the same conclusions. Now, talking about 公司利益 - as much as you should align your personal interest with it, but in case the the two collides, personal interest has to take priority.

任何斗争，统一战线，或曰PR，很重要。楼主似乎把所有人，management, HR, 都划为对方，这样斗下去，恐不好办。我觉得应该矛头直指 the brazilian guy，跟别的人则要妥善交流。

Agree. Even with the Brazilian guy/gal, 妥善交流 should be the first approach too -- which LZ did. If LZ had a initial hostility toward the Brazilian (due to race/background) to start with, then it would be unhealthy.

the brazilian guy sounds horrible, he must be the trouble maker. the thing is, to make management/HR to believe so too.If LZ talk to management/HR with an anger and very aggressive tone, then they would,naturally,tend to think LZ was the trouble maker

In some cases you get nothing without fighting. Fighting is not a bad thing depending on how you fight, and for what reason.

If I were you1. I would discuss the possibility of getting someone do my job with my boss before I apply for the new position.
2. I would give my boss/HR a notice that I am leaving my current position and request an official reply. The new contract would be signed after I get the confirmation that I will be free to go.
3. I would officially let my boss know that there are a lot of things fall behind when I start my job and make sure everything new will be done perfectly.

An official notice/announcement usually does better job than putting up a fight. If it is really worth the fight, collect evidence and then put it on court, you will be well compensated.

What they need is your official notice of leaving the old position. After sending the unfriendly email, the new manager eventually got it from your reply, the wording of which surprised everybody.Since then, the company management has a headache and we have a hero.

I do not think you handled the situation well. Your communication appears to be poorly mannered as well. The way you described your colleagues, manager and HR staff, is not very respectfully.

I think some of your problems could be solved by communication skills. When you have issues, try to talk to the people insolved. Email chains involving others only make the problem worse. Respecting others do not lower your status.
