[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Excellent writing skills seem to be an essential requirement for the job. It appears that they are not meeting this requirement. Your boss is unhappy, you are unhappy, even these employees are certainly unhappy. The solution is simple. You fire them and you hire people with excellent writing skills. [/quote] I'm not sure this is true. If it's regular developmental editing, that's an "I would have approached this entire problem in a different way" issue more than a quality of writing issue. You can say that avoidance of errors is a required metric, but organizing your thoughts in the way your boss would is not, and some projects are improved by that kind of collaboration rather than being a flaw of the writer. If that is a major role that needs to be played and it's taking OP away from more critical work, maybe there's a business case for hiring a full time person for it, or transitioning someone into it.
