May. 4th, 2011 02:16 pmOur marketing agency has done it once again. Today it was so bad, I needed to take a walk around the building to cool off.
We printed a package that included a petition. The petition reads, "Dear [decision maker]" and we custom print each one with the donor's representative. However, our marketing agency is filled with TOTAL IDIOTS, because they printed the petition "Dear [donor's name]".
I started getting calls today about it. I am not happy.
This was a pure idiot mistake. Because every time you print something with variable copy like that, the printer will provide a few samples of the package with a sample of names from your data filled in and ask you if everything is being filled in correctly. It takes just a few seconds to confirm that each column of your data is matching up correctly in the package.
There is absolutely no way this mistake could have been missed unless they didn't bother to look at the samples before giving the ok to print.
I need to find a new job soon. I don't know how much more of this my sanity can stand. I'd hate to look like a quitter, but these are unreasonable conditions. I do not feel like I am working with professionals here.
