Their seemingly endless bouts of circling and calling, calling and circling fill me with a feeling of foreboding. Whe

Everything You Wanted To Know About Your Employee Handbook
In most states, your company handbook isn’t a contract. They don’t have to follow their own procedures. However, some employers are starting to make employees sign them and add things like an agreement to arbitrate all claims against the employer or a waiver of jury trial. You will want to read your handbook and understand your rights and responsibilities. Sections you’ll want to pay extra care
Occupy Your Workplace: Changes To Employment Laws That Would Make a Difference
Just like the Tea Party on the other side, the Occupy Wall Street movement is on the brink of having real political power. Everyone wants to know -- what do they want? What changes will they ask for? With unemployment still hovering at 9% and people scared they will lose their jobs for blinking wrong, America needs real changes to its employment laws. When I wrote my article, 10 Workplace Rig
My Employer Defamed Me!
So your employer called you incompetent. Or you disagree with your write-up. You're hopping mad. It's a lie! You're ready to sue. Slander. Libel. It has to be something you can sue for, right? Meh. Probably not. Slander and libel are in the general category of defamation. Defamation is where your employer or former employer makes a false statement of fact about you to someone other than you that d

Occupy Wall Street
Before Occupy Wall Street, there was clear consensus and proof that Wall Street traders and big bank mortgage lenders were responsible for the debt crisis we're seeing around the world. There were also a lot of people who thought that giving bailouts to the same banks that caused the problem was not okay. There were also a lot of people who were upset when those same banks continued to han

There's another that Perry somehow fell into a wormhole that ejac
