...because she couldn't type fast enough to record the writers' dictation accurately

I don't know about the sexual harrassment c**p nor do I care about it. This is what jumped out at me. The "writers" are dictating to her? How can they be called "writers" when they are not actually writing anything? I realize this may be the way things are done now, but I wonder how many writers of the past would laugh at these clowns.

I don't know how it's done, but she may sit in the room with them and TRY to get down everything they are saying, just like she would in a deposition or a trial.

It's obvious she couldn't keep up.

It actually sounds like an efficient process, if you'll think for a minute about what they are trying to do. They probably put 2 or 3 writers together (remember, they are composing verbal repartee, not sonnets) and the typist records their free-form brainstorming so they and others (producers, etc) can review it later. It's much quicker to scan such a session in print than to have to listen to it on a recording.
