I think he's an asshole. Her first submission might have been better than the third revision, but she changed things because his implication that he wasn't happy with it.
I would have been more assertive and demanded that he tell me what changes he wanted, thus forcing him to reveal he hadn't even read it. I guess Kate needs to learn some self confidence.
No way. The young gal will asset herself against a SVP? Doesn't happen in my world. He was just asking her if it was her best. She could have said yes. She eventually did say yes.
Hmm. I'm sorry that your world allows assholes to thrive. I wouldn't work for a company where I couldn't give honest feedback to my leaders. Microsoft was a wonderful company to work for. If the SVP in your story had asked me that question, I would have said, "Yes, I wrote what I thought you were asking for. What would you like me to change?" If any SVP would punish me for that response, I'd quit.

Perfection is how you do things in my line of work. Dead or Alive.
An SVP who knows how to get the best from his staff--amazing!
