That nasty wage and hour thing just doesn’t seem to go away.

International Business Machines Corp. was sued in federal court Tuesday for allegedly not paying overtime to tens of thousands of rank-and-file employees.
The suit was filed in U.S. District Court on behalf of three current and former workers, and [...]
A friend of mine contacted me and told me that he applied for a job. Part of the application process included filling out a questionaire which asked a number of questions around faith. He was told that he was not being hired for the position due to the fact that they felt he [...]
The old template just wasn’t cutting it, so I gave it the proverbial axe.

Niall Kennedy of Technorati has some good thinks to say in this post. I agree that companies should not restrict employees from blogging on their personal time. I can also appreciate what he says here quite eloquently:
Employers considering a blogging policy are not thinking broadly enough. Employees need to be trained as [...]
A very good friend of mine called a few weeks ago asking me to review a contract for her. She works as an independent contractor in website design. I never got to see the contract, but she did tell me that the client was requiring her to be onsite for certain hours every [...]
