Bad Editors

1--They don't give you enough guidance. Perhaps because they want you to do something wrong, so they can blame you. And they don't want to be on record as having misguided you. (Bob Klein of Money was like that.)
2--They are all too ready to blame you--so their own superiors think all the problems are YOUR fault.
3--They continually communicate with you, sending you the same old stuff, to make it appear that they are busy busy busy.
4--When you see the final copy...and how bad it is...you get a sinking feeling that you don't want your name on this.
5--They're grumpy. They have this vague feeling of disquiet.
