aclark, Welcome! If you have access to the (vast!) newsletter archives on this site, the April 2011 issue of [I]Utah Employment Law Letter[/I] has a detailed article about how a Montana HR pro wrestled with the difficult issues surrounding an empl…

In this interesting selection of short opinion pieces, today's [I]NY Times[/I] asks whether legislation is needed to protect workers who are obese. An attorney suggests that a legal buffer already exists (GINA), while a geriatrician writes about som…

DOL's "gotcha" tactics, including the so-called Bridge to Justice program, is a flawed way to enforce workplace laws, according to D.C. employment law attorney David Fortney, who testified yesterday before the House Subcommittee on Workforce Prot…

On the dangers of excluding the unemployed from your hiring pools, here is a fresh take from South Carolina Employment Law Letter editor Reggie Gay. This also appeared in Friday's Hero Line ezine: [url]http://bit.ly/uxaKpX[/url] Warning, shameless …

Frank, are you ok if we use your quote ("MLS people are not irritating") in our next poster promotion? You should probably know that we will insert an angel face O:) or two O:)O:) next to it. thx! tk

tonia, interesting dilemma. This also came up in another recent thread. Hope this helps. tk [URL]http://bit.ly/pBGZBr[/URL]

Here is a link to a NY Times article today that indicates Frank's situation (a big decrease!) is more the exception than the rule right now. How did you all do that, Frank? tk [url]http://nyti.ms/nE5XB6[/url]

Interesting insights. On the plus side, Frank, I'm glad to hear you're hiring. tk

Today's NY Times has an update on this topic. tk [URL]http://nyti.ms/nIWEZW[/URL]

Traceyd, if you need more info, South Dakota Employment Law Letter editor and employment law attorney Jane Pfeifle (pronounced Fife-lee) recently (about 3 weeks ago) presented a 90-minute webinar titled, "Employees with Cancer: Responding to ADA, FM…

Sarah, thanks for sharing. Awesomely well done. Made me laugh a lot. tk

Fun stuff, Paul! I'm impressed that you were able to talk six other people into taking time out of their day to create this video with you. Your great-great grandfather and your other taffy-pulling predecessors would be proud. tk

Sharon, at the risk of not answering your question and taking this thread in a direction you never envisioned, I want to calm everyone's fears in HR Hero Land and announce that I -- who tweets for HRHero at http://www.twitter.com/hrhero -- have take…

welcome, let me be the first to say :welcome:

That would explain all the references I happen to overhear from time to time about "Two and a Half HR Heroes." OK, people, you're dodging Celeste's great question. Fess up! :back to topic:

What a coincidence! We just scheduled this new event this very morning (before I noticed this thread, I promise): "Something Sinister Brewing in the Employment Law World: Forum Discussions That Inspire New Audio Events, and the Dangers That Lie Ahe…

Greetings, all, Cleaning out some stuff today and realized that I never closed the loop on this thread. It was a fight to the finish, but congratulations go to [B]Law Law Land[/B] =D> which came in first in the "For Fun" category of the ABA Journ…

Greetings again, all, At the risk of appearing to be talking to myself in this thread, I want to send out one final urgent request to the tech-savvy HR Hero Nation for some help with this contest! Unfortunately, THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID -- our weekly bl…

Who would have guessed!? Behind the scenes, it actually takes a well-oiled workplace to create the employment law and HR chaos that you see each Thursday night on [I]The Office[/I]. Matt Rita of Denver -- one of the seven Ford & Harrison attorne…

Paul, does this count? On your FB page clown-turnover post, I hit the "like" button! tk

This seems as good of a place as any to wish all of you a happy Thanksgiving and a great rest of the week! If you eat too much turkey, don't come to me with pleas of :-/ -- it'll be too late then. Do some exercises\:D/and you'll feel soon. tk

The recipes (probably even the one that caused Paul's unfortunate situation) are still around -- in the archives for this same "Around the Water Cooler" section of the Forum. You can take a few minutes and scroll back into history, or you can do an …

Sarah, here is a link to article in today's NYTimes making the same point you did about Mad Men -- that in its 4th season (which ends Sunday), it really has succeeded best as an office drama. tk [URL]http://nyti.ms/d50Klm[/URL]

Sarah, wow, very nicely done! =D> I hope you have already chosen your next book to review from Celeste's HR reading list. If anyone else is interested in playing, please let Celeste know at [email]cblackburn@mleesmith.com[/email]. Speaking of "De…

Paul, interesting article and approach. Just wondering, tho, what you do when a "work friend" develops into a "friend friend." Do you move them from your FB workplace persona to the leisure one? Or do you make them part of both universes? tk

That didn't take long! The [I]L.A. Times[/I] and other publications are reporting that Mark Hurd may have a new job soon. [URL]http://bit.ly/d6DObD[/URL] Give Oracle credit for minimizing the PR hit by allowing the word to filter out over a long …

[URL]http://bit.ly/cvZNoq[/URL] I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the related Labor Day thread. Regardless, the news on the front page of the local paper today (and some of you may have seen this elsewhere) is that, nationally, employer…

In Nashville we're probably also guilty of ignoring our violin players when they're out in public playing for free. Well, actually, we don't call them "violins." They're fiddles, and the players are world-class. In assorted drinking holes down on Lo…
