If a picture says a thousand words, then my editors are going to be hella-mad at me.
After the jump, it’s the best of the employment law blogosphere told through the eyes of Instagram.
Back when I was a young aspiring blogger — as opposed to the blog king I am now — I asked my audience (here) for some feedback to improve this jawn.
Well, you gave it, I improved it, and I’ve been turning down multi-million dollar offers to sell this piece ever since.
I won’t sell out — yes, I will — because I love you all and no one could handle The Employer Handbook with the grace and dignity it deserves.
I remember a high school classmate of mine who had his mom send in a permission slip to excuse him from missing school for the Philadelphia Phillies’ home opener. Mom’s note indicated that her son was suffering from “Vernal Flu.”
Get it? Vernal Flu = Spring Fever.
Pretty creative, huh?
I hope that you guys had a nice Memorial Day. Nothing like a good three-day weekend. Although, three of my four children didn’t seem to appreciate that most American businesses were closed for the holiday:
Sorry, kids.
Maybe, starting the workweek off with the Employment Law Blog Carnival: Small Business Edition over at the Employer’s Corner Blog will cheer them up.
This is going to be a tough one, folks.
Today, I’m setting aside workplace issues to focus on a little boy named Shane.
Shane was born on July 11, 2013. The youngest of three, by all accounts, Shane was a happy and healthy newborn. His parents are truly blessed and his siblings adore him. Now, Shane is eight months old. And, as you can tell from the picture, he’s got a toothy grin that lights up a room.
Last night, after I arrived home, put my jacket away, and walked into the kitchen, something immediately caught my eye. On the kitchen table was a “Country Sweets Gourmet Cookie Dough” fundraising flyer from my son’s school.
My choice of five different flavors of raw cookie dough in a 48-ounce tub. And since it’s all in the name of fundraising…
Easily the highlight of my day. Except.
Last week, Justin Bieber was deposed in an action stemming from an alleged attack by his bodyguard on a member of the paparazzi. Here and pasted below is the video that’s been making the rounds on the internet:

So, how does this impact your workplace? Don’t let your employee witnesses ever channel their inner Bieber if deposed in a workplace lawsuit.
Yesterday, I read a post over at Business Management Daily about an employee who sued for involuntary servitude.
Yes, folks. The plaintiff claimed that her former employer had treated her like a slave.
Specifically, the plaintiff, a trainee of some sort, alleged that she was never provided with a job description or adequately trained.
