It may be raining heavily in SB, but it appears that the Snooze Press is definitely suffering a drought - of copy editors. It seems as though two of the paper's three nighttime copy editors recently departed - leaving just one to edit the copy all by himself! A third copy editor who edits the paper's "Scene" publication is retiring. With no more staff at his disposal, it looks like Katich is planning on rolling up the sleeves of his well-laundered work shirts and editing "Scene" himself. Be prepared to read a lot of typos! At this rate, the "paper" will soon be down to two staff members, with Wendy, Don and Arthur doing all the writing and editing. Stay tuned!
Interestingly, the Snooze Press' staff recently had their vision benefits cut. I guess Wendy doesn't think the staff needs to be able to read what they write/edit/layout. Might actually work to their advantage!
I'm staying tuned!
Wonder if she's planning to sell the paper. Folks who had money in the 401K were sent letters telling them to take their distributions.
Wonder how much it'll cost her when fired photog Mike Eliason wins his wrongful termination case? They're going to court later this month.
She would be smart to sell it. She will end up going bankrupt at the rate she's going. But I wonder who would buy it, especially if they inherit her lawsuits. I guess the longtime staff is starting to see the writing on the wall. Longtime copy chief Joe Brewer is one of the two copy editors who recently left. The remaining (few) employees are afraid to say "boo" now that the union was (illegally) "voted" away and Wendy once again has free reign to terrorize her workers. Those remaining would be wise to update their resumes. But Steepleton needn't bother. He won't be able to get a job shoveling hay once he leaves, unless he moves out of state and assumes another identity.
WORSE THAN WENDY: Anyone who would call people unprompted to tell them not to hire employees who quit or were fired from that den of jackals should rot in hell. If there is a God - even a Freak Orthodox one - such a person will spend eternity as Beezelbub's bitch. I hope Mike has a witness to corroborate that accusation so this supreme douchebag can be exposed as the diseased testicle he truly is.
True that he should spend eternity in hell, outside of the News-Press, that is. But I'm not sure he's worse than Wendy. I have my suspicions that Wendy puts her editors up to these evil deeds, like planting child porn on computers to get someone fired. The editors do her bidding so she doesn't have to get her hands dirty. You know, kind of like the flying monkeys and the wicked witch. Wendy watches it all from the crystal ball in her Hope Ranch castle and cackles to herself, all while Arthur rubs her wrinkled feet and begs for a bigger allowance. (Gag!) If not, she somehow manages to hire underlings who are every bit as sick and vengeful as she is. Or perhaps the over-growing mold in the newsroom has caused some toxin-fueled brain damage among the staff? It sure would explain a LOT about that place!
I'm now wondering if Wendy is planning on filling for bankruptcy protection to save the "paper." That might explain the 401k distribution letter. I don't know much about business bankruptcy law and whether it's even related, but I'm pretty sure she is sweating bullets about the newspaper carrier/manslaughter suit and the Mike Elliason suit. She fully deserves to lose everything, but I do feel for the (few) remaining writers, photographers and copy editor.
