Welcome to Workplace Stuff!

This is my first blog and I am excited to do it. My goal here is to talk about issues in the workplace. My view is that we spend most of our lives at work so it should be as pleasant as possible. I know that the reason it is called "work" is because it isn't "play". But I still think we can have a much better working environment if we put our minds to it. I am not planning on discussing legal issues although they may come up now and then. Rather I want to share (and hope you will too) stuff I see and observe in working with employers and employees in the workplace. Who am I? Well, I am an employment lawyer who has been at it for 27 years. (It went by very fast, too fast). I am board certified in employment law and I also mediate and act as an arbitrator(basically a paid private judge). I do training seminars. My most popular seminar is on discrimination and sexual harassment. I hope to share with you the trials and tribulations of what goes on at work and when work ends up in Court-land. Believe me, real life is as funny and crazy as the popular TV show "The Office". In fact reality at work is "too much for TV". Well, maybe not cable.
