  • Excellent posts! It sounds to me like you need to implement some sensitivity and tolerance training for your executives. Now that the EEOC has its ERACE initiatives- it would be a good idea. I truly feel for you, but remember an executive is still a…
  • I enjoyed this article.  I agree with Barbie and think the key still focuses on giving "honest" performance evaluations. I have run across employees in the past who were rated "excellent" but where bullies, rude, and simply not team players- but gue…
  • I have to agree with Kate and the California training post. I have an extensive  background in employee relations and training- you just need to make sure that you follow the state law since it is changing and may require an annual web- based two ho…

  • It is really sad that Sting discriminated against his chef this way. I agree that a lesson is to be learned- documentation, documentation, documentation is the key. I am wondering if Sting is aware that he may be sued for retaliatory discharge? What…
  • This was simply a case of ignorance that has led to a discriminatory event. You may want to review your policy of harassment and reinforce the fact that this may violate your harassment policy if you have it worded in that way.
  • Country girl was correct and the law has changed... go figure :}
