a good way to annoy the fuck out of me, part 2

let's say you're an account executive at an advertising/marketing agency. you get this rush job that the client wants done in as short an amount of time as possible. and said rush job is for 47 different countries. and you know that the base we're going off of hasn't been touched in about a year, so that makes you realize that, say, some things have changed. so when you kick this job over to interactive, you make sure that you acknowledge all the changes that have been made in terminology since this job was last worked on, and you hand that over with all the translated copy and accurate links.

perfect world, right?

what you shouldn't do is come over on a friday with 47 job jackets with TBA all over the schedules, tell me and the other traffic manager to plot out the time for a week of what your "dedicated resources" will be working on, tell us to come up with the schedule, but only factoring in the work for your client, and then after you've seen 12 of the e-mails built out midday monday, say that a certain functionality needs to be taken out of the HTML because someone else is blasting these e-mails through a different client, then after you've seen a couple more realize that, hey, we need to add addresses and reorder some footer links, thus creating triple the work because the "change orders" were as vague as possible and raised more questions then they answered.

fuck.
