Grey Direct

I once did some freelance proofreading here in the
late 1990s by way of some silly recruiting company,
and it was some of the most depressing
few weeks of my life. Grey Direct SUCKED they are
total wankers and the people I worked for were total jerks
and the manager I had there was like the wicked witch
of the feckin’ west. The air of fear and paranoia was palpable from the first
second I walked in there, but why for a stupid advertising firm in Manhattan? Are we working at The FBI or Homeland Security? No. I hope Grey Direct close as soon as possible and all die as slowly and painfully as possible. That should
pretty much sum it up.
I meant to add though that I once did a three-​week proofreading
stint as a freelancer at USA Today and they were THE BEST,
everybody was totally, totally cool, and they just left me alone to
do my job and nobody even bothered me or even checked in on me,
they just let me go to it and take my lunch whenever I wanted
and it was the loosest company I ever worked for. So not all of these
media companies are like Grey Direct, that’s for sure.
