New HR Blog: Gruntled Employees
Gruntled Employees, a new management-side HR blog, seems to get it. My firm advises on employment matters and does related defense work. Boston-based employment litigator Jay Shepherd and his boutique firm understand that most employment disputes--and their expense--are ultimately rooted in weak or missing Human Resources departments and dumb management patterns with employees. See, e.g., "How To Save HR--an Introduction".

Sensitive Litigation Moment No. 13: "Weenie" Litigators?
Not surprisingly, Googling "weenie" with "lawyers" yields quite a few results. But the concept of "weenie" trial lawyers (of several nationalities) comes up more than expected. So, in the next few weeks, WAC? will investigate why and how litigators are often seen as "weenies", and build a catalogue of "weenie-litigator" anecdotes, letters, pleadings and transcripts.
And then we'll share them with you. WAC? is also thinking about a book, cheerfully edited by Holden Oliver, our new hire.
Unsolicited submissions are welcome. However, only the funniest and/or most pathetic weenie-litigator material will be considered, vetted and published (but so as not to any embarrass or injure any weenie-litigator persons or their families--mainly, usually). Send to jglass@hullmcguire.com. For ideas, see posts in Generation Weenie, Humorix and BrothersJudd.
