And by coffee, I mean turkey legs and frozen blueberry-mango rum lemonade.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down…
You see that badge over there? You know what I had to do to get that badge?Buy the full version of Photoshop Spike the Kool-Aid of everyone on the SHRM Annual Conference Speaker Selection Committee
I beat out thousands (trillions?) of other speaker submissions to be selected as a SHRM 2014 Annual Conference & Exposition speaker.
Meet Delaware lawyer, Brian Zulberti.
According to his website, back in 2013, after getting his DE bar license, Mr. Zulberti emailed every Delaware lawyer asking for information about job openings. In each email, he included this photo of himself in a sleeveless t-shirt.
Mr. Zulberti claims that this mass email, coupled with a subsequent story written in Above The Law, made him a “global internet sensation.”
Why, just last week, I was saying that the Facebook stupidity scale had shifted away from teachers in favor of bar/tavern staff.
For future reference, you can never go wrong with Vining the one-year-old slugger.
I used to say that teachers were the most irresponsible Facebook user group. Now, I’m leaning towards the bar and nightclub industry.
Last month, a worker at a downtown Philadelphia bar displayed a Heineken chalkboard with the message “I like my beer like I like my violence… domestic.” to attract customers.
But, instead of achieving its desired effect, a passerby tweeted the photo to a local news station and a major cluster of a poopstorm ensued, which culminated in the worker losing his job.
Within the past week, two states have passed laws, which will provide employees with more workplace protections.
Truth be told, I wasn’t sure that the internet had yet arrived in either Oklahoma or Louisiana, the latter of which is still controlled by a French monarch, I’m fairly certain.
(But since Louisiana also has beignets and Mardi Gras, all is forgiven).
Here are some Tennessee fun facts:
- The city of Kingston served as Tennessee’s state capital for one day (September 21, 1807)
- There are more horses per capita in Shelby County than any other county in the United States.
Yesterday, my buddy Jonathan Segal and I joined forces on Twitter to answer eight questions from SHRM’s We Know Next about the state of the law governing social media and the workplace.
A big thank you to SHRM and to those who were able to join us and participate.
ICYMI, here is a full recap.
Recently, several local lawyers and I participated in a labor and employment law roundtable for The Legal Intelligencer.
Actually, the table was rectangular. But, the coffee and muffins were free, so I didn’t complain.
Well, not until I dropped my pants and mooned the employee-rights lawyers on the panel. Trust me, they had it coming.
A teacher getting in trouble for something having to do with Facebook?
You don’t say…
The full story, plus another state has passed a social media workplace privacy law. I’ve got it all for you after the jump…
Over the past several years, seemingly, we’re seen the NLRB take a more active interest in employee handbooks.
We’ve certainly seen it with respect to social media policies; especially, where these policies purport to limit the rights of employees to discuss their employment with one another. This is because Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act allows employees to discuss their terms and conditions of employment together.
And you don’t need to have a union either. The act applies in most every private-sector workplace.
