Receive polite form rejection, "this wasn't right for us right now but thanks for letting us read it and good luck" from venue X
Scamper off to make a note of that and figure where to possibly send it next
...it looks like that I'd submitted that story to venue Y?
...yes, it's still in the slush pile at Y?
Apparently I already got a polite form rejection from X in August?
Isn't X the one with the latest installment of the speculative dumpster-file world?
...yes, yes it is
So not only did the new staff inherit a mess at X, there might be someone that was assigned to read the story they already rejected two months ago. Sigh.
