Okay I never post in here but this is really bothering me.
Laziness!!! Yes that’s what it balls down to either that or it's plain stupidity.
Check it out. We had a meeting about a week ago. My manager wants out of the Marketing department so he can concentrate on Sales. He is generally in charge of the whole division, which makes a healthy 2-3 Million a month. So we sit down with two new semi-integrated members to our Marketing team. We go over some responsibilities and I explain to my manager that I need at least 1/2 the day for web work and 1/2 for print since I’ll be hosting the site developing dynamic content etc.
Now my Manager assigns these two individuals to right content. CCTV is very technical and I don’t have the time to learn the field. I have way to many other responsibilities. So we had a mini meeting about what we need to do. I ask them for copy and you won’t believe what they do. Number one goes and gives me the specs, good at least he did that. Number two rewrites what I already typed in the catalog and emails it to me in word. WTF was the point of that. I mean I typed the sh!t in why would I want it back that same way.
What I need is the information broken down for a new brochure not copy pasted. I need it summarized and rewritten even. WTF? Then I need some body copy written for camera and do I get it. NO! Now number one is out today. Number two seems as clueless as a newborn baby. And I have to finish this brochure. I don't understand? I don't get WTF they don't understand. I need content, copy, text why is something that takes about 2-3 hours taking days.
Man I hope I'm never as incompetent as these people. I can’t work with people like this. Oh God!
Man I’m in for a loooooooong ride.
