Fart stories, tea-bagging, and a grown man getting fired for Pokémon Go rants. Want to know where do I find these cases and stories? Sure, I’ll dish. News sources: In my humble opinion, Wolters Kluwer: Employment Law Daily is the best source of daily case-law updates and other employment-law-related news. Yes, I…
My husband asked me if I wanted to blog for him and I am really not sure why. My days consist of hearing things like, “knock knock”, “who’s there?”, “I eat mop” over and over again, not exactly scintillating fodder for an employment law blog. Seeing as I spend my…
I’m coming at you from Washington, DC at the Society for Human Resource Management 2016 Annual Conference & Exposition. Me and 20,000 other HR professionals. If you’re at the conference, email me. I’ll likely be in the Bloggers’ Lounge, which is right around the corner from the SHRM Store and Conference Registration.…

Don’t answer that. Instead, picture this: A well-dressed guy saunters into the Washington Renaissance. Don’t worry, before next week, I’ll wash the stains out of my Metallica hoodie. Ok, Ratt hoodie. Ok, N’ Sync hoodie. Ok, N’ Sync sleeveless hoodie. He’s cool(ish) and snarky; he’s got an employment law blog and…
Remember last month when I told you to short crude oil futures and bet the Broncos to win the Super Bowl about how the National Labor Relations Board concluded that an employer could not maintain a workplace rule that banned employees from recording workplace conversations, absent prior company approval. (More on that here).…
Are you sitting down? Good. Because, today, I’m sending you to an employee-rights lawyer. “Say, Eric. Can we get a splash of whatever’s in your morning coffee?” (Said no one). But seriously, my buddy Donna Ballman, an employee-rights lawyer, and darn good one at that, has taken the reins of…
There they are. Those are my kids, after clearing our driveway with the discount shovels that I purchased from the dollar store. (I was tempted to splurge on the gas-powered snowblowers from the two-dollar store across the street; but, I’m not a monster). So, I did what any proud parent would do. I marketed…
