It's an apartment. Ever think about the fact that maybe they're efforts of getting inside didn't meet your standards because they're not on the first floor?

Um ever heard of the fire escape? Come on #27

Not all buildings have fire escapes. I'm in a six story apartment on the fourth floor. My options in leaving are my front door, or try and not die trying to get to the neighbour's balcony from my balcony. Not something I would risk unless there was a fire (or an ax murderer) and my life was already in danger.

Fire escapes are for ESCAPING FIRE. You don't **** around on one of those unless your life is in danger - because if you slip and fall, you could severely injure yourself or even break your neck. No one needs to put themselves in danger to show up to a shift on time, that's nonsense even from the employer's perspective. What would you rather deal with, an employee coming in three hours too late through no fault of their own because they were responsible and waited for help, or an employee laid up in hospital for several weeks recovering from unnecessary injuries?

U can slip and fall on the any ladder or staircase, so might as well avoid them to.

Yes, but the risk is much smaller than a rickety fire escape, so there. Anything is dangerous, from a kitten (they could scratch your eyes out) to a machine gun (duh). But life is much better when you forget the risks and go ahead. And I quote: "too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears". (Les Brown). So you pointing that stairs and ladders are dangerous is just stupid. OF COURSE it could be dangerous. EVERYTHING is dangerous.

Okay... so they've dismantled their door to get out (if it works). Now... do they put the door back together before going to work so that they're not leaving their apartment unlocked and pretty rob-able?

One: if OP isn't on the first floor (and possibly even if they are) climbing out the window could lead to broken bones if they fell, or other injuries from the strain of climbing down. I don't think the average person has the wall scaling abilities of Ezio Auditore, making that a dumb risk. Two: OP is in an apartment. Door being jammed/broken prior wouldn't make them any less liable for any damages done by taking the door knob off. If the lock mechanism is what's jammed, they might not even be able to take the lock off, and would simply **** up the lock mechanism worse. Taking off the hinges has the same liability issues as the door knob, plus the risk of the hinges out right breaking or the door falling on OP. So, try climbing out the window and possibly having to go to the hospital either as a patient or in a body bag, disassembling property they are renting and having to pay full cost of repair and replacement as well as possibly being kicked out for damaging property and possibly still being late, vs getting a receipt from the complex manager/maintenance worker describing the repair job and shoving it (not literally) under their bosses nose. There is really only one option there for a responsible adult renter who isn't so desperate to keep the job they are willing to risk their health, life, or home over a mechanical failure and their employer being a dick.
