I am deputy editor on a magazine but the editor is, quite frankly, hopeless at her job. She was a quick replacement when the previous editor quit (just before I started) and she's been letting the team down for 2 years now. She never sticks to plans, ignores what has been said in meetings and slaps each flat plan together without a care, always muddling things up. She never puts effort into new ideas and rejects everyone else's suggestions. When the bosses tell her to instruct the team, she tells us to do something totally different to what they have asked. I have remained friendly and I've worked flat out to help her, taking on a lot of her responsibilities too, but she just takes advantage of that and she's far from the creative, disciplined leader we need. I want to tell my publisher, but do I just outline the general problems in my letter/email or should I back them up with incidents? I've got a lot to say but I don't want to sound aggressive or waffle on too much. Please help!
