This might sound a bit odd, but I'm trying to lose touch with my
ex-boss (nothing dodgy, I've completed all the work for them I was
paid to do)!
He keeps on asking me to do extra bits of work, including changes to
work I had done for him previously (although he was happy with the
work when it was initially completed and I am not contractually
obliged to make any additional changes - in fact we never had a
contract for the work I did in the first place!).
I already have a full-time job and I can't stand him, so I'm desperate
to avoid him permanently. He only has my email address and a
relative's postal address - if I was to change my email address and
ignore or return any post he might send me, would there be any way he
could trace me? (he tends to be quite persistent and very touchy, so
if I was to ignore him, he's likely to turn spiteful, so I need to be
sure he couldn't track me down in any other way)? |

That's an interesting question - and I must say, an interesting
approach to your dilemma.
If your former employer is the least bit savvy or has any contacts
with sources who can "find" people, it will be very difficult indeed
for you to hide from him. For example, If I had your name and the the
city you live in, I can probably tell you what your address is, what
your telephone number is and maybe even your date of birth and/or
social security number. Given time I can probably find out what you
drive, where you work and the name of your wife and children.
I'm not trying to frighten you, but you must understand first that the
answer to your question is NO. There's no way to hide from a clever
person short of moving away, or maybe even changing your name. You can
change your email address and your phone number but the guy can find
you if he wants to. Seriously...take a look for yourself (I mean that
literally...search for yourself here. Its free to the whole world to
use.)

Scary isn't it? So, therein lies the answer: He needs to stop WANTING TO.
Are you open to suggestions as to how to tacfully and diplomatically
shake this guy off for good as an answer to your question (including
of course, what legal options you may have in the event his obsession
becomes unhealthy for both of you)?
I'll be glad to help if you are interested in this route. If so,
please also let me know what STATE (or country) you are in so I can
see if there are some legal options for you too should it come down to
that.
