Because, I’m pretty sure that I’ll get my employment-lawyer-blogger card revoked if I don’t offer a self-deprecating blog post about age discrimination on my 40th birthday. But, feel free to raise my spirits by pledging a pair of tickets to the Philly stop of the Guns N’ Roses reunion tour. Oh, God!…
Oh, hi there. Uh, this? It’s not a comic book. It’s a GRAPHIC NOVEL, folks! And, yes, I need to highlight my favorite passages in this library book. It’s how Sartre did it. Quit judging me, would ya? Nothing more to see here. Read on. A week or so ago, Robin…
WWE great The Undertaker is 50 years old. He’s an eight-time Heavyweight Champion. But, his greatest feat is never missing one of my posts his streak of 21 consecutive wins at Wrestlemania.

In a world, where an employee cannot prove age discrimination after getting fired for playing golf during his medical leave, comes the story of a pharmacist *** dramatic pause *** who wouldn’t give flu shots. While we wait for Hollywood to greenlight this movie — I’m thinking Gary Oldman as the pharmacist and…
See what I did there? (Yes, folks, it was either that or a riff on clown’s mouths and windmills). When the plaintiff, in this case, took leave from his job after ankle surgery, he did so with certain medical restrictions on his physical activities. Thus, when the company learned that…
General Zod is not impressed More on this case after the jump… * * * Carlyn Johnson was diligent and hard-working. As a security guard, he had a reputation of never refusing an extra shift.

Psst. Want the secret to spotting a potential age discrimination claim a mile away? I’ve got it for you after the jump. * * * I’m going to make this real easy for you. DON’T CALL ANY EMPLOYEE OLD….EVER! And, just so we’re clear, “old mother******” is no good either.…
