>You turn in a draft
The discussion was was about a draft that was _not_ turned in (because it
wasn't ready) but taken without knowledge and consent of the writer and
then picked apart (because it wasn't more than a less-than-ready draft).
>and then COMPLAIN when the person reading it has the gall to
>actually EDIT your work
And the discussion was not about the draft having been edited, but about
the criticism by the manager that the draft was too rough (when it wasn't
supposed to be more polished and anyway wasn't ready for a real review).
In other words, it was about a self-appointed reviewer not understanding
what was before him, not about inability to see one's work criticized.
