A class-action lawsuit waiting to happen - Editorial Assistant Penguin Random House Employee Review

If you have a bad manager, they’ll do nothing about it. Some managers have no concept of how to be a good manager, basics like support employees, communicate clearly, or give constructive feedback. Compensation is low, and some teams only let you enter 35 hours even if you worked more so you’ll have to read/edit for free to advance in editorial, which sounds a lot like wage theft as I understand it.
