Wait a minute! I got that backwards didn’t I? Dammit! That explains why I didn’t come up with “In Firing Employees, A Bit of Humanity Still Helps.” It’s a pragmatic post inspired by recent events from employment lawyer and blogger, Daniel Schwartz.
Instead, I get my HR-compliance news from a TMZ story entitled, “I HAD TO SERVE HIS POST-SEX MEALS… He Served Up His Junk.” Welp, there’s only one thing left to do, I guess.
Yes, I’d better double down.
The Daily Mail — another one of my faves — reports here that a former employee of Sean “P. Diddy” Combs is suing him for sexual harassment and not being paid overtime. The Hollywood Reporter has a copy of the plaintiff’s complaint here. In her complaint, the plaintiff, a former chef for Mr. Combs claims, among other things, well, ewww…
Then this happened…
Hence, this lawsuit.
If you’re looking for some employer takeaways, I suggest that you head over to Dan’s post about treating employees with dignity.
