Moral of the story is trust your instincts. If you feel like it is time to quit then you should.

I know some people over there. I'll see if I can dig up some dirt. Sounds like that copy guy was an ass and the HR person was typically useless, but I'd still take a freelance gig there any time. You're bound to get good portfolio material there.

sounds like they are both at fault. hr seemed lame, and the guy seemed like he has trouble working with people.

I went through something similar at Direct TV last week_
I was going into mid-day sit downs concerning rush deadlines only to have the ECD and CD say to me "This is wrong, there were changes."My "team" was not emailing me copy changes or coming over to me to inform me of copy changes. They had 4 ENTIRE copy overhauls in 1.5 business days for a 4 page brochure. They also had a total of THREE copywriters working on the one job.
The full time designer that they also had working on the job (Her cover design was the one client approved), also did not inform me of her design changes to the cover. This was most surprising considering I was in direct contact with her multiple times through the day.
At the 3pm sit down after I was told items in my layout were incorrect, I made the comment out loud "I should not have to chance down copy changes, I should just be informed of them."
Needless to say that evening I got a phone call from the headhunter that placed me into the position. Direct TV felt I was not a fit.

Got a call today. Going to work with my old Creative Director from Christies Art Auction who is now at The Lincoln Center.Heed this: Avoid the Acquisition Marketing Department at Direct TV. Very disorganized bunch. There is a difference between rush deadlines and true chaos.

I'm pretty sure I can be fired for clicking that link.

What??

"You'd think that as a writer, this would be a better crafted rant. I was at R/GA around the same time as the "not so anonymous, if you worked there" disgruntled employee and the truth is nobody wanted to work with him. He was weird and just not talented. And from what I recall, he was caught surfing porn for hours on end, on a daily basis. Which is why it's funny that he not only brings it up, but he doesn't even deny it. And they caught him not because his screen was facing everyone, but because everybody on his floor was very aware of what he was doing and a girl complained that the creepy guy in the corner was surfing porn all day (with his hand on his lap). So when IT checked the records, there it was. Also, the pencil he is talking about was a pencil for Nike ID. I'm pretty sure it didn't win for it's glorious writing. I'm not sure what the strategy for this was in terms of getting new work, but hey no publicity is bad publicity right?"
