Oh my god. That's exhausting to experience secondhand; I'm sorry you lived it. I particularly loved "no worries" in response to your correction. Ummm....WT...?
Sounds so bloody familiar. This really made me laugh but at the horror and superficiality of their stance. I have even had discussions with a very famous grocer with eau de nil branding about running a food quiz and told after several back and forth, "there is no budget, we thought you would do it as a friend of ours....many do " duh
Thank you so much for sharing this - unfortunately it's a common business practice with brands large and small these days. Ugh...Fight the good fight and don't give in! Well done, Jenny.
No offense to Pippa's, but I couldn't think of a better name...

I too have ugly email threads like this.

"No worries" in lieu of "you're welcome" or "thanks" is one of my biggest bugbears.

Sadly very familiar. It's frustrating to hear how people value but don't value your skills/work/experience.
Oh my god, that is ugly. Ugly ugly ugly.
Speechless, this should never happen!
