Disgruntled Copy Editor Strikes Back
James Reynolds spent nearly four years as a copy editor at Rolling Stone publisher Wenner Media. Now he's suing the company for failing to pay him overtime for his crappy work, which required no "creativity or imagination."
Reynolds alleges that Wenner didn't pay him overtime, even though he routinely worked extra hours. The interesting part of the suit, though, is his description of his work, which is enough to make any copy editor cringe:
Stupid worthless unskilled uneducated copy editors everywhere deserve overtime pay! Copy editors, rise up in support of James Reynolds! Copy editors? Guys? Anyone?
