But when things don’t make any fucking sense, people have to wonder when someone who arose from personal assistant to Emmy winning writer. It was some emotional decision. But where did it come from – sex or money or spite? In any case, it was something unprofessonal, against the quality of the show and the investors in the show, unless she asked for something they could not afford. Another woman is reputed to have left too from the writing staff.

People don’t want Emmys because they’re gold and pretty – they want them because they make your work worth more money.

Seeing as she was a new writer, just promoted, she was likely the cheapest writer in the room (and this is not sexism – it’s a seniority thing, and totally normal). So she went from being super cheap, possibly not even represented, to having an Emmy, and having representation, and trying to negotiate the deal that an Emmy winner should get. And for whatever reason, they couldn’t make it work. Happens all the time, to men AND women.

That’s EXACTLY how you become a staff writer. There’s nothing unconventional about it, in form or time frame. You have an in, you get tapped for writer’s assistant, you get tapped for a writing opportunity. Happens all the time.

That’s disgusting some of these jerks implied she slept with a man to get the job. F–king pigs.
