Cambio Col[lab] was my dream writing gig. I had wanted it since 2011. I never thought they would submit my first post.
Writing for them for the first few weeks was a dream too. Thousands of people were reading and actually liking my things. I had the chance to talk to some really cool people. And I even got to ask a couple of celebs a question. All through Cambio.
A couple of months into the gig, a new manager was hired. I thought she was going to be really cool. But she turned out to be extremely passive aggressive. She wouldn't tell you things that were going on until she was confronted with it, and then she would always say, "My BOSSES said..."
I could deal with a passive aggressive boss, I have before, even though I'm not getting paid for this. But then she blatantly called me a liar for an article I wrote, after stringing it along like she was going to publish it. I sent her a long and honest email about it, and she kind of just shoved it aside.
That was when I first decided I'd quit. I had decided I was going to wait a little while, and keep writing some, so I could leave with them with a bit of a notice about my departure.
Until the last straw. When she gave me an assignment that basically called my illness a trend. The sickest part about this is that I'd come out about the illness to her because she'd been sending me assignments that upset me because of it, and I'd asked her if she could stop.
After this final move, I've decided to quit. So I am no longer writing for Cambio. I will be updating on here more often than I have been, and I'll soon start some writing advice blogs. I really look forward to posting them.
