Recently, a colleague of mine, LSM started becoming a nusiance to my colleagues and I. His designation says "graphic designer". However he does not work like one, though his attitude screams one.
In entertainment industry, it is probably easier to strike lottery than not get any last minute and extremely urgent jobs. He should know since he has been in this industry longer than I am. He's being ridiculous to demand all jobs to be given to him 3 days in advance.
His "designer attitude" is unbearable. Well if he has the creativity and the talent, by all means throw his weight around. I do not care about his attitude as long as I get my job done. But with LSM, it's job not done properly + "designer attitude".
Today, I just commented on an artwork and requested he do minor changes. He came back with an email explaining why I should appreciate his artwork.
1. He spent a long time conceptualising it.
2. He feels that his is simple. And simple is good.
Eventually, he said he will make the changes. So this is what I want to read. Waste my time reading his reasons.
Get real! Who cares how long you have worked on it. If the client (me) is not happy, you ain't getting any dough. It's the real world. You can work on something for 3 years for all I care, if eventually it's not what the client wants, change!
He kept thinking that everyone is against him. But I think he should reflect on himself when all colleagues liasing with him finds the same problem with him. Even our working partners are facing the same problem. Check your metre ruler, try measuring yourself before complaining that other people's metre ruler is not accurate.
I wonder with all these frustrations, why am I not getting any slimmer. Sigh...
