Before we get to that, I may have a few ideas on that image above. Here’s a hint. And now, on with the show. The inspiration for today’s post comes from my buddy, John Baldino, who tweeted this yesterday: (By the way, if you’re in HR and you’re not following…
Yep, the signs are all there. Last week, I highlighted a recent EEOC public meeting entitled “The ADEA @ 50 – More Relevant Than Ever.” That seems to be a bit of a giveaway. But, in case you missed the signs, here’s another one. Towards the end of last week,…
It was right at the moment that I thought that I’d recovered from Saturday night’s disco inferno and baseball extravaganza, when I realized, yesterday, that I’d paired DC Comics with Marvel by coming to work in Batman socks and Guardians of the Galaxy II boxer shorts. Hopefully, my reader won’t…
Now, where did I put yesterday’s .gif? Oh, there it is. While courts (and bloggers) wrestle with Facebook-related lawsuits, email is a different story. There’s this lawyer joke that the “E” in E-mail stands for Exhibit A. Or, what’s the other joke? Oh yeah, bad e-mails are like dirty diapers: they stink…
Bipartisan, eh?

From a reader who wishes to be identified as “ever faithful blog lover”: A while ago you mentioned ads with “digital native” as being a cover for trying to recruit “young” folks and being an ADEA violation… so what do you think of an ad that says (twice) “Young professionals” wanted?…
Like when referring to the plaintiff (57) and his two co-workers (61 and 67), a boss allegedly remarks, “It’s time you got rid of those old son of a bitches.” Age discrimination, maybe? Hey, before you decide, how about the CEO allegedly saying that the company should have “new blood” and…
Hi there. Did you have a nice weekend? Overall, I did too. However, Saturday was rough. How rough? On a scale of 1-10, it was Chuck E. Cheese. Sunday improved. Mildly. But, now I’m in a coffee shop, sans kids, sans ball pits, costumed rats, and shopping carts. Instead, I’m nicely…
Only law blog with this pic. Fo Shizzle. If only someone would’ve created a Grumpy Old Men / Wu-Tang Clan mashup. ODB passing the verse to Walter Matthau… Oh well, you’re stuck with me blogging about an age discrimination case from the Northern District of Indiana. At least I’m off of the…
