Hello, Jenn.

I wanted to talk about the work you recently completed for our blog.

It seems that the posts haven't been up to the standard we had hoped.

I agree.

Unfortunately, I am so busy and have had to hurry my posts lately,

so I haven't been able to spend much time looking up the background information I need for each article.

Do you think we have been assigning you too many posts?

I think that is it.

Since the recent redundancies, my workload has nearly tripled.

I am sorry, I know that must be hard.

My workload has grown as well.

Would it be helpful to give you a longer deadline for the posts?

I guess, but that is a short-term solution.

It is going to be impossible to sustain the number of posts if we don't have a full staff.

Fine.

I will talk to all of the managers this afternoon

and we can start working towards a plan that is sustainable for all the staff.

Keeping our standards should be of utmost importance.
