Had meeting with client. Revisions were placed for the copy. One of my writers didnt understand that we had to deliver it within minutes and kinda went MIA for that hour (coffee break?). I didnt bother, so I revised their copy and sent it. Yay or nay?

I dont understand what you mean by “one of YOUR writers” if youre just a senior writer. But if a client is just dictating changes and expects them “within minutes,” I cant imagine anything thats any good or that people care about is at stake, so sure I guess.

Hopefully it doesnt happen like this if its anything that anyone likes.

They brushed it off and played it like they didn’t mind. I think it’s mostly because they also know they missed the deliverable and it wasn’t like I did it on purpose.

Yeet complete.

Client was being stupid but it sounds like a win.

Hello Fishes, I have a Job offer from Cisco and Verizon(VDSI).

Cisco CTC - 16.2LPA , Fixed - 15.1LPA - Cisco TAC role.

YOE - 6.5 Years
CCTC - 7.2 LPA

Conflicted between both as I believe Cisco has a better brand value and great company to work for. But the offer from Verizon is competitive.

Is it a good idea to renegotiate with Cisco based on current offer from Verizon. Please share your thoughts.

Am I particularly uptight, or is writing meant to be done alone, without a partner talking to you? With past partners, we chat through script notes and then I go off to execute. Current partner likes to sit and chat as I write. To me, writing is crafting a conversation. So I can’t talk to you and simultaneously talk to this audience. Of course I can just say “I’m gonna go write.” But since we’re both CD level, I’m like…is this his first rodeo? Maybe other writers are different though.
