First, Happy Martin Luther King Day. I hope everyone is at home, resting and reflecting on Dr. King’s teachings. One of my favorites, which I try to remember during trying times, is in the image above.

It’s beginning to look a lot like…..bad decisions
After three years, office holiday parties are back! In general, the office holiday party season is (NOT) the most wonderful time of the year for employment lawyers.

In a new (hopefully) weekly installment of the Workplace Week in Review we will highlight the best of that news. This week, we learned how *not* to manage employees, …
