Combating Sexual Harassment By Narcissists

By Robert Chadwick posted Aug 19, 2019
Be the first person to recommend this.
Much has been written recently about the rise of individualism in America. Some psychologists have even posited that the most severe form of individualism, narcissism, has become an epidemic in this country . See The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement , by Jean M. Twenge, Ph.D., and W. Keith Campbell, Ph.D. (2010). The term “narcissism” has both clinical and subclinical meanings. The clinical meaning is set forth in the DSM-IV-TR, which defines Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) as “an all-pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration or adulation and lack of empathy ….” Drs. Twenge and Campbell estimated ...

Be the first person to recommend this.
In a tweet on July 27, 2019, President Trump described Representative Elijah Cumming’s Congressional District in Baltimore as “a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.” On July 14, 2019, President Trump also tweeted: “So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly… and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run.

What Dallas Employers Need To Know About New Paid Sick Leave Ordinance

By Robert Chadwick posted Jul 08, 2019
Be the first person to recommend this.
Earlier this year, Dallas became the third Texas municipality (after Austin and San Antonio) to enact a paid sick time ordinance applicable to private employers. There is no corresponding Texas state law which mandates paid sick time in the private sector. Unlike the Austin ordinance, which was ruled unconstitutional by a Texas Appellate Court, no Texas court has yet ruled on the constitutionality of the Dallas ordinance. The Texas legislature, which adjourned in May, otherwise enacted no legislation affecting municipal paid sick time ordinances. READ MORE

NLRB Restresses Risk of Firing Employees Who Discuss Pay

By Robert Chadwick posted May 28, 2019
Be the first person to recommend this.
Employers understand the disruption to workplace morale which can result from open discussions about employee compensation. For instance, on February 24, 2011, MCPc, Inc., a non-union company, invited employees to a “team building” lunch. The lunch quickly devolved from “team building” to complaints by employees about their excessive workloads. One employee urged the company to hire additional employees to alleviate these heavy workloads. He added the company could have hired several employees for the $400,000 annual salary being paid to a newly hired executive. Other employees agreed. Employee morale was worse after the lunch than it had been beforehand. MCPc, ...
