Contradictheory: Employers who make a difference


I have worked on many writing projects in my brief career as a writer. Many of them were wonderful, positive experiences. But two in particular that didn’t work out stand as an interesting contrast.

One was many years ago. It was a long, 40-episode project that we had spent close to a year developing, but the powers-that-be decided we needed a new producer. This person came in on day one, announced they hated everything we had done and promptly threw away all our work and told us how it should be done.
