Well, yes, but when you're in the trenches like that...
My last boss was insane and he would demand the tweet get out nownownow. You had no safety net for stuff like this. You were just trying to get out as much content as possible before you got yelled at for missing something else.
I'm not trying to say ESPN.com editors are like that, but mine was. Even at 4 a.m. You basically feel like you're tearing up A1 and redoing it for your entire shift.
I agree with all of these things on principle. Unfortunately understaffed newsrooms mean you're walking a tightrope constantly. A slight gust out of nowhere, and you're falling off.
Apologies for the defensiveness, but if you really think someone is sitting there on a Saturday afternoon and not overworked, while they're constantly being reminded of how great they have it because they're working at (name of major media outlet) and everyone wants their job, I don't know what to tell you.
