Dear Friends,



Thank you very much for taking the time to write back to me. I can assure
you that it's greatly appreciated. This message being sent to you is
*absolutely* 100% correct!  Myself and other employees at the AMC Nassau
Metroplex are trying to get rid of this sad clown. The situation is so bad
that because his name is Mamun, people have been calling him (not to his
face) "Moo Moo", "Baboo", "Saddam" and a few other unsavory names.  I alone
spent about $75.00 in envelopes, postage stamps and blank paper in order to
send copies of that anonymous letter to over 120 different theatres in the
NY / NJ metro area. Believe me - I had other very important things that I
could have spent the $75.00. That $75.00 could have been a payment on my
credit card, but I really felt that this needed to be done.


The purpose of this was twofold. First, was to give other theatre companies
some insight into what's going on at the competition.  The original paper
message is intended to be a sample of the desperate and drastic measures
that employees can be driven to when a piss-poor culture creates shit
policies that then in turn, give managers the ability to choose to transform
themselvs into facists.

Second, was to try to make an impression on managers from other companies
that are in charge of hiring. If the AMC home office does decide to dump
(terminate) "Moo Moo", I want to make sure other theatre companies will
think **very long** and  **very hard** before hiring him. Nobody should have
to be subjected to this bona fide shit heel. I was hoping that if you
forwarded this message to your world headquarters, it may motivate them to
re-examine there policies and culture and make changes and adjustments as
needed to prevent something like this from happening in their theatres.  If
you want to call that a "smear campaign", then that's fine. I can't stop you
from thinking what you want.


If I'm so unhappy why don't I quit?? I *was* happy until this sad clown
showed up. If I was unhappy before this guy showed up, would I have been
working at the same theatre since January 2, 1993?? (My first day of
employment.) That's 15 years. After being employed with the same company for
so long you (not "you" personally - in the generic sense) can look me square
in the eye and tell me I don't know how to do my job correctly??

Also, I really can't afford to be unemployed right now. AMC offers its
non-management (regular workers) health insurance benefits. True, it's not
all the coverage in existence, but it is some coverage. Also I am the only
employed person in my household. I am 37. My mother is 66 and my father is
70. My father had *three* strokes in 2005. My mother and father have full
custody of my extremely high-energy 7 year-old niece. My sister and her
husband are separated. My sister has obsessive/compulsive disorder and is
unable to care for her child. The father is an illiterate carnival worker
that has no permanent address.

My mother needs me. I can't simply move to a new area for employment. Both
my mother and father need be to at home and need me to be employed. For a
short time (1990 to mid '92) I was working for the aerospace contractor
Grumman. If you've ever seen the Tom Cruse movie "Top Gun" then you know
Grumman's products. Who could have guessed that the Iron Curtain was going
to fall down?? After the end of the production lifecycle of the F-14 Tomcat,
E2C Hawkeye Radar Aircraft and the end of the U.S.S.R as it known, Grumman
quickly laid off employees, sold properties (real estate) and wound down
production of other products. I was not a broom pusher or serving meals (Not
meant to detract from Grumman employees that did such tasks.) I was a
machinist. I used multi-million dollar equipment to fabricate parts for the
space shuttle, F-14 Tomcat an other high-value U.S. Navy hardware. I would
have loved to stay with Grumman but it simply was not to be.

Do not foward to AMC Levittown. If this document is not going fowarded to
your Home Office / world headquarters for the reasons I described above,
then please shred the document.

Again, I thank you very much for your time, effort, consideration and
understanding in this matter.

Best wishes and warmest regards,
amcworker@gmail.com
