Trust me many employers love to assign random tasks without extra training or release time given or extra pay provided. My place of employment does it all the time. They do it because they can get away with it and they know they can guilt you. I used to be guilted. I stopped as I got older. It’s been really bad last two years due to shortages in my field. Well I get it you don’t have extra people but why I am being punished for it.
He could fume. But it’s better him fuming than a client fuming over your writing that wouldn’t be 100%!competent! You know how to do your job. This isn’t your job.
Sure I can write research paper if I have to (and I am sure you can too), wrote for masters thesis and post graduate courses. But it was on the subject I knew! Not medical research and I was given time to do it. I’d not be writing research papers at work if it’s not my area of expertise and I wasn’t hired to do and am not paid extra. I am not a writer! Nothing to be guilty
about!
What was it? Fall prevention? Why would you know anything about it? Write this: “Don’t drink and stumble around drunk”. When asked why you wrote it, tell them that’s all you could think of on the subject matter!!!! 😂😂😂😂

LOL!
Now that was funny.
This writing piece is about the medical efficacy of the client's medical equipment for resolving issues with arthritis!!!!!!!
YA. Like hell I can write about that.
AND, our team manager is the one so far who has been writing this client's content. So if we switched to ME, the tone, style and approach would completely differ and thus would be very disjointed on their website! And I'm sure the client would not appreciate this 180 degree change.
As it is, I had attempted to write content already for this client, he didn't like what I produced, and my team manager had to perfect and tweak it! And that was just two paragraphs of content. This piece is supposed to be far lengthier!
And thanks for the support! I agree with you completely. It's not my area of expertise. And yea, I could write a research paper IF I WAS IN SCHOOL AND HAD TO...... LOL!
