This has been my experience with small, arty publications run by needy, manipulative cokeheads who treat you like their nanny: You think you are giving up material satisfaction in exchange for some journalistic and artistic freedom. This can be true to an extent. You get access to the world of artists. It is interesting socially. It confers status. It opens doors. But needy, manipulative cokeheads will always screw you over. It's their nature.Where I feel that with a few key substitutions of words you can rework the paragraph to reflect almost any situation and justify that intense need to run away. Here's my cryptographic key:
small, arty publications = small, non-profits
needy, manipulative cokehead = needy big boss and manipulative little boss
journalistic and artisitic freedom = intellectual and scientific freedom
artists = scientists
