I work in digital communications at a fairly high level. Part of that is writing copy for social media posts, websites etc. No matter what I do, my work gets thrown back at me and rewritten, often times to something that I’m honestly embarrassed to put out for my accounts. I also am not looped in to the message we’re to be communicating until the very last second. To make it worse, I then get publicly berated for not writing well enough or fast enough.
My boss is an older PR guy (over the whole PR shop) and good at the traditional side of things, but not necessarily a digital guy. He’s really good at what he does, and somewhat well known (within some, very small, circles).
But no matter what I do, I can’t write copy that works for him. I’m admittedly much younger, and fairly new at this, but I write well. I’ve changed up how I write with various rewrites he’s sent back and copied the voice there etc. I’ve gotten more creative with my content, made it more catchy. Read everything he’s ever written trying to copy his style. I have other people give input- they like what I write and agree with me. I’ve reached out to him for help, to which I get the reply that that is for me to figure out. Early on I took all of his criticisms to heart and made notes about everything he said, but then I get contradicting rewrites where he goes against his own style rules and tells me to just push what he’s written out. I know it sounds like I’m just bitching, but my co-workers are equally perplexed as to what he wants.
On top of this, I’m rarely in the loop on what we’re pushing out until it’s time to push it out. If we have a big announcement coming, I don’t know what to communicate until it’s time to communicate said announcement. I’m nimble, and I work fast, but I’m in emergency mode all the time when I don’t have to be. The press team gets the information in advance, but I have to fight for a ten minute window to come up with something. Often times, I find out what’s in a press release when it’s in my email inbox. And then I get publicly yelled at for not having content ready.
Burying the lede here, but lastly, I get publicly berated and yelled at when the boss man isn’t happy. That includes, but is not limited to: when I dare to ask for final sign off on a time sensitive project, when I write things, when I don’t write things, when I ask him to read an email I sent around a week ago to tell me if I can proceed on something, when I don’t follow up on the email I sent a week ago and get behind on a project. You get the gist.
What the fuck do I do?
