The hierarchy plays out in the writers room, and you, as a staff writer, need to know your place.

When you work in a writers room for a showrunner, you serve that story, and you serve that showrunner. I don't think it should be called writing; I think it should be called rendering content. Because you are there to render the content that is agreed upon in the room, and you're serving the voice of the main storyteller, which is the showrunner.

I dress up cute sometimes to go to work, but TV writers don't! They just go however.
