Epilogue:
I've documented 12 instances of several paragraphs lifted exactly or
minimally changed (one word differences) in a 28-page report. I promise you
that I am going to dream of sugar-plum fairies tonight and not the underside
of the universe.
I hope it's just this guy and not the whole company, because I'm just starting
out with it and would love to continue working for them. I suppose to ease my
own mind I should review the other jobs I've done for them to see if I can
determine if this is something isolated to this individual only.
I think the best thing is to write my supervising editor and tell her that in
my Internet research I found text identical to that of the author's, which is
what I wrote to YOU all. LOL. It's great having a sounding board like you.
Thanks ever so much!
If the worst happens and I no longer work for this company, at least I might
get an interesting story out of it for Intercom or The Boston Globe. ;)
