- Yes, you can be fired for badmouthing your boss—especially if it’s disrespectful, disruptive, or violates company policy., Middle Management Mitch - Can I Be Fired For Sh*t Talking My Boss, Employment, 2024
- Requesting or demanding sexual favors in exchange for a raise—or any job benefit—is a blatant form of quid pro quo sexual harassment, which is illegal under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This type of harassment creates a coercive and hostile work environment, and employers can be held strictly liable if a supervisor engages in this conduct, especially when it impacts an employee’s compensation, advancement, or job security., Middle Management Mitch - Sexual Favors in Exchange for a Raise, Employment, 2024
- Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), individuals recovering from alcoholism are considered to have a protected disability—meaning employers cannot discriminate against them based on their history of alcohol use and must provide reasonable accommodations if needed., Middle Management Mitch - AA Rights Under the ADA, Employment, 2024

- Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), when an employee requests a reasonable accommodation, employers can ask for a doctor’s note to verify the medical condition—but that’s just the start. The employer is then legally required to engage in an interactive process, meaning a good-faith dialogue with the employee to explore possible accommodations that enable them to perform their job, rather than simply denying the request or making assumptions about their condition., Middle Management Mitch - Doctor's Note And Interactive Process Under the ADA, Employment, 2024
- Middle Management Mitch: Using Recruiters to Screen Out Based on Race refers to a troubling and illegal practice where a manager—like “Mitch”—instructs recruiters to avoid hiring candidates of certain races, either explicitly or through coded language. This kind of discrimination violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and both the employer and recruiter can be held liable for race-based hiring bias, even if no slurs are used and no one “writes it down.”, Middle Management Mitch: Using Recruiters to Screen Out Based on Race, Employment, 2024
- A sexist and racist work culture is one where discrimination, harassment, and bias based on gender and race are tolerated, normalized, or even encouraged—whether through offensive jokes, unequal opportunities, or retaliation against those who speak out. This type of environment not only violates workplace laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, but also harms morale, mental health, and career advancement for affected employees., Middle Management Mitch: Sexist and Racist Work Culture, Employment, 2024
- Offensive jokes in the workplace—especially those based on race, gender, religion, disability, or other protected traits—can create a hostile work environment and may constitute unlawful harassment under laws like Title VII. Even if someone claims they were “just joking,” repeated or severe comments that make employees uncomfortable or targeted can be grounds for a legal claim., Middle Manage Mitch: Offensive jokes, Employment, 2024
- Employees have the right to report workplace discrimination, harassment, unsafe conditions, wage violations, or other illegal practices without fear of retaliation. These rights are protected under laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), and various whistleblower protections—meaning your employer cannot legally punish or fire you just for speaking up., Middle Management Mitch Video: Report It!, Employment, 2024

Scholarly Lectures / Writings
- The blog explains that under Title VII, refusing to follow a racially discriminatory order—even if you’re not personally the target of discrimination—can qualify as protected activity. Using Minniti v. Crystal Window & Door Systems, it shows how the Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that an employee who opposed firing two Black coworkers based on race was wrongfully terminated in retaliation, and that vague objections can still count if they reasonably signal opposition to discrimination., Author, Is Refusing A Perceived Racist Order A Protected Activity Under Title VII?, https://www.calltherightattorney.com, Employment, 2024
- The blog explains that while the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) prohibits firing someone solely because of age, employers can still lawfully terminate older employees for legitimate performance issues. Using McCreight v. AuburnBank, it shows that repeated, documented mistakes—especially those with financial consequences—can justify termination, even if the employee is part of a protected class like age or gender, and that to win, the employee must prove the employer’s reason is pretext for discrimination., Author, Can Older Employees Be Fired Because Of Diminishing Skills Or Ability?, https://www.calltherightattorney.com, Employment, 2024
- The blog explains that while you are not legally required to sign a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) or unfavorable review, refusing to sign it could be used against you and even lead to termination. Instead, it advises employees to sign with a written disclaimer—such as noting disagreement or referencing potential discrimination or retaliation—to protect their rights and preserve evidence in case of future legal claims., Author, Do I Have to Sign a PIP or Unfavorable Review?, https://www.calltherightattorney.com, Employment, 2024
- The blog explains that after FMLA leave ends, employees may be entitled to additional unpaid medical leave under the ADA if their condition qualifies as a disability and the extension does not impose an undue hardship on the employer. Using Cenanovic v. Hamdard Center, it shows how courts weigh the reasonableness of extended leave requests and stresses the importance of engaging in the interactive process and making timely accommodation requests., Author, Medical Leave: Can I Get More Under ADA After FMLA Expires?, https://www.calltherightattorney.com, Employment, 2024
- The blog explores whether a job transfer—without a change in pay or title—can still constitute unlawful discrimination under Title VII. Using Muldrow v. City of St. Louis, the post highlights the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that such transfers can violate the law if they result in even modest harm to the employee’s job conditions, rejecting the lower courts’ requirement of “significant” harm., Author, Can A Job Transfer Constitute Discrimination?, https://www.calltherightattorney.com, Employment, 2024
- The blog warns employees that requesting the wrong accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)—like asking to be laid off instead of seeking medical leave—can backfire and undermine any future legal claims. Using Bair v. Crystal Glass, Inc. as an example, it stresses the importance of making thoughtful, clear accommodation requests and complying with employer documentation requirements to preserve ADA protections., Author, Be Careful What You Ask For: How A Wrong ADA Accommodation Request Can Backfire, https://www.calltherightattorney.com, Employment, 2025
- The blog criticizes the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for prioritizing systemic and high-profile cases while leaving most individual employees without meaningful support or timely resolutions. It highlights that despite tens of thousands of discrimination charges filed annually, only a tiny fraction result in litigation, emphasizing the need for employees to seek legal help rather than relying solely on the EEOC., Author, The Disappointing Truth About Filing With the EEOC, https://www.calltherightattorney.com, Employment, 2025
- The blog explains that supplemental jurisdiction allows federal courts to hear related state law claims—such as defamation or breach of contract—when they are tied to federal employment law claims, saving time and ensuring consistency. Using Johnson v. Builders FirstSource Southeast Group LLC, it shows how courts may keep state claims even after federal claims are dismissed, but emphasizes that this decision is discretionary and based on factors like judicial economy and fairness., Author, What Is Supplemental Jurisdiction in Employment Law Cases?, https://www.calltherightattorney.com, Employment, 2025
- The blog explains that under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), employers may deny accommodations or terminate employees if they can prove the individual poses a “direct threat” to workplace safety that cannot be mitigated by reasonable accommodations. Using Smith v. Newport Utilities, the Sixth Circuit upheld termination where an employee with a seizure condition posed a substantial risk due to the job’s demands, underscoring that employers must base such decisions on objective medical evidence and not assumptions., Author, Can My Job Deny ADA Accommodations By Claiming “Direct Threat”?, https://www.calltherightattorney.com, Employment, 2025
- The blog explains that before filing a lawsuit under most federal employment laws like Title VII, ADA, and GINA, employees must first go through an administrative process, such as filing a charge with the EEOC—a requirement known as administrative exhaustion. It uses the case Karupaiyan v. Experis US Inc. to show how failing to include specific allegations, like genetic information discrimination, in the EEOC charge can result in dismissal of that claim, emphasizing the importance of consulting an experienced employment attorney., Author, What Is Administrative Exhaustion, and Why It Matters in Employment Cases?, https://www.calltherightattorney.com, Employment, 2025
- The blog post explains that under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), even temporary injuries can qualify as disabilities if they substantially limit major life activities like walking or bending. Using Sutherland v. Peterson’s Oil Serv., Inc., it emphasizes that employees are entitled to reasonable accommodations—even for short-term conditions—and that employers who ignore or deny such requests may be violating federal law., Author, ADA Rights: Temporary Injuries And Disability Accommodations, https://www.calltherightattorney.com, Employment, 2025
- The blog explains that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 does not protect non-employees such as independent contractors, freelancers, or business owners, even if they face clear discrimination. Using the case Karupaiyan v. Experis US Inc., it illustrates how courts determine who qualifies as an employee and urges workers to evaluate whether they are misclassified, as this status significantly affects their legal rights., Author, Title VII Does Not Protect Non-Employees: Know If You Are Covered, https://www.calltherightattorney.com, Employment, 2025
- The blog post criticizes a district court ruling that dismissed a Black employee’s racial harassment claims, despite repeated use of the n-word, exclusion, and other hostile acts at work. It highlights how the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision, firmly rejecting the idea that racial slurs could be dismissed as harmless or affectionate, and reaffirmed the seriousness of a racially hostile work environment under Title VII. , Author, No, Judge, The “N-Word” Is Not – And Never Will Be -A Term Of Endearment, https://www.calltherightattorney.com, Employment, 2025
- The article "Escape the Black Hole of Forced Arbitration" from the December 2024 issue of Trial Magazine discusses the challenges and implications of forced arbitration clauses in legal contracts. It emphasizes the limitations these clauses place on individuals' rights to pursue justice through the court system and explores strategies for attorneys to navigate or challenge these provisions effectively., Author, Escaping the Black Hole of Forced Arbitration, Trial Magazine, Vol. 60, No. 12, Employment, 2024
