The self-congratulatory comments I left below the picture of my awesome seven-story beeramid. My candid review of Cinemax’s After Dark lineup from Arbor Day 2011. My plea to George Carlin to go beyond the self-imposed boundaries of seven dirty words. A new app called FaceWash promises to…
That’s right folks. It’s time for another edition of “Fact or Fiction” a/k/a “Quick Answers to Quick Questions” a/k/a QATQQ f/k/a “I don’t feel like writing a long blog post.” Your new employee at local pizzeria has what we’ll call a “facial deformity.” So, rather than having him work the…
What makes retaliation the most common discrimination claim in America? I suspect it’s because other forms of discrimination (e.g., race, gender, disability) are more difficult to prove and don’t always result in an adverse employment action, such as termination of employment. And since most people like to keep their jobs,…
I know. I know. Seems more like a “Tuesday” post. Earlier in the week, I read this article on The Smoking Gun about a man who got busted giving wedgies to movie patrons outside of a Florida theater. So, it got me thinking. Let’s say that Chris from Accounting comes to you…
Jennifer O’Brien has a master’s degree in education and certifications as an elementary school teacher and supervisor. All that education and no common sense. You’ll see what I mean after the jump. It’s what we wordsmiths call a s&!*storm of a clusterf#%k. * * * O’Brien was assigned to teach the…
The original working title for the post was “The Third Circuit takes a deuce on my ‘Pottymouths’ post.” I meant it in the figurative sense. Otherwise, I would be at a loss for words with IT. More so than usual… {Napalms browser history} But, fortunately, good taste and high morals…
I was reading this federal court opinion over the weekend. It involves a disability-discrimination claim brought by a deaf man who applied to become a lifeguard at a county pool, but didn’t get the job because the county thought his disability would compromise swimmer safety. Plus, the town was…
Of course she does. What does the Complaint say? And what can employers take away from it? Find out after the jump… * * * In her Complaint (copy here), the (former) school-bus driver claims that, after her shift ended, she privately messaged a student — someone who never rode…
Where did you think I was going with this post? (And you call yourselves Human Resource professionals). Just kidding. You know I love you. Let me know in the comments below what kind of interactive dialogue / accommodation ideas you have in mind for these characters, and, ba-dee, ba-dee, ba-dee,…
In Centucky Kentucky, it’s not retaliation to fire employees who complain about sexual favoritism. Then again making apple-pie moonshine and using a butcher cleaver to slice off the arm of a Detroit gangster isn’t frowned upon either. At least, that’s what watching Justified teaches me. But even in Kentucky, they…
