At work, my role has changed from tech support to multimedia work, not the least of which is web design. As such, much of my time has been spent designing our company's soon to be rolled out mobile website. Along with disregarding my CSS heavy, relatively positioned layout, in favor of a morass of tables upon nested tables, they have placed a "right-last-namer" in charge of design direction.

After months of hard work, getting everything right, this guy is rolling in and making us change a lot of it. Nothing is safe, from verbiage to appearance. He wants to market it as an "app", which it clearly is not; today he asked me what it would take to get a link to it on the Apple Store (I took my shot here and called him out, politely, it felt good). He seems to love italics, because they "are exciting". He has no idea of technical terminology; he had us replace the word 'homescreen' with 'app desktop' (what the hell is an app desktop?) If I hear the word 'app' one more time, I'm gonna flip.

Now they want me to do videos and screencasts and half-assed commercials with corny scripts. Okay fine, that is why you're paying me.

But...

You pay me to do things right, then you screw it up. I'm glad my name isn't on it. I know I should just suck it up and take my money, but when you work on something for months, you get attached, I guess.

Sorry for the rant. I needed to put it somewhere.

Edit: I should point out, despite being unqualified, he's a pretty nice guy. We could be friends if I didn't work with him. I was really mad yesterday, and I neglected to mention this.
