Did I ever tell you about the one in college we called “The Mad Pooper”? (Actually, we didn’t use the word “Pooper.” We used another word that better expressed our distaste for this individual). It was during my freshman year of college. More often than not after a night of…
Isn’t the Americans with Disabilities Act fun? Oh, right, it’s the federal employment law that y’all voted the one that keeps you up most at night. ADA garnered 30% of the votes in yesterday’s hella-lazy blog post of a poll. FMLA and FLSA tied for second with 23% of the…
Take a second and vote here. I’ll post the results tomorrow.

With four years of blogging under my belt, I have a pretty good sense of what may audience comes to expect from this labor and employment law blog: typos grammar errors snark “where does Eric find this stuff” posts For today’s post, I don’t have enough hats to tip to…
When I think about retaliation, I think about that time I plastic-wrapped the judicial toilets after losing a motion to compel an employee who gets fired after complaining about discrimination to an HR Manager or the EEOC.
