My anger has no end.
A full 24 hours later and I am still beyond pissed at my News Station.Last night the Producer verbally assaulted me bring my degree, work, and work ethic into question; never even using my name, just calling me "editor." Basically she was displeased about video that she did not fully communicate what she expected; so based off the script what I put together was correct; with the exception of one video. After the show we record teases for the next show and that's when it all started. She was start the recording and she stopped it because she didn't like how she saw ONE sign that was on screen for 2.5 seconds, rather than immediately seeing these kids with backpacks (script read: seven thousand backpacks being handed out to help kids get ready for school), she then said "Come on editor your job isn't that hard!" I was furious. She didn't even give me the respect to say my name. I refused to go to the after show meeting because I knew I would go off on her. So she comes looking for me, when she saw me I told her not to talk to me because I was so mad. She came at me anyway. Just yelling at me for a solid 10 minutes, I barely got a word in (all I was able to say was: There was only one sign and according to the script what I put together is fine, and if you wanted something different for the after recordings you should have said something. Also my name is Dakoda, NOT editor). She kept going off on me and I am just sitting there /literally/ biting my tongue; near the end of letting her rant she said"You can either sit there and keep giving me that look or just say okay!!!" I said okay and we went our separate ways.
Then as I'm pulling up to the restaurant for my dinner break, my direct boss texts me. Here's exactly what he said word for word:
Expectations of an editor: To assemble compelling video and natural sound to the script written by the producer as to engage the viewer and lead them to want to see more of our product. Are you doing this? First video tonight at 630 would not lead me to believe that you are. Amber like all producers works hard to create a show that will draw viewers to want to watch. Please make sure that our viewers and I both see an edited product that is similar to what Michael and Kali put together for our morning and evening weekday shows. In 2 weeks you will see a rotation of our main anchors who even more than Amber will expect nothing less. Thanks!
Like seriously? Didn't even give me a chance to defend myself!! So I've decided to leave, and very soon. I also texted an old internship boss and he has offered me to come back and work for him for a full dollar more than what I am getting paid at the station. It may only be for 6 months (wedding videography) but it'll be better than this.
Sorry this is so long, just I have never in my life experienced this much disrespect and unprofessional-ism.
