Bosses/Editors

[vinsanity]

I'm sure the boss angle is more than done around here.

I signed up a few months ago to post on this 'blog' site for college kids. Kind of like the College Humor guys who wrote articles. I'm supposed to be putting up like a post a day. 100-200 words. It's supposed to edgy (NSFW) and poignant.

A month ago they signed on a bunch of editors to review every post (so now it takes me 2 or 3 days to get a post on the site ). Since then she's botched my style and voice, not just monitoring for errors and content. I got an e-mail about one I put in last week and she said it wasn't tied in to Purdue enough. But two weeks ago I made a post about a blind guy in estonia who was arrested for drunk driving. I think the story was also brought up here.

This morning I get an e-mail that says they want to do 100% video posts this week. Also that we are posting too many 'long' posts and need to do more with just a link to an article, a funny picture and throwing down a sentence. Well I added a link to the Purdue news story that sparked the story about the bike, and posted one about a article where a guy here says there are two parkings pots for every person in the county - so I said quit your bi--moaning and linked.

But that's not enough she wants to me start making video's and interviewing people. It wasn't enough to link to the story and throw up a line - she wants me to interview the frickin researcher and find a way to film the stuff.

The thing is I'm writing under a pen name for a reason - TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS YOU DUMB DUMB PERSON. And how bout some friggin consistency? I'm tryin to give it my best but I keep getting shot down from every angle.

Edit - It's here if you wanna take a peek.

Why not just quit?
