Mandatory Training Session Tonight
You are hereby notified that you have a mandatory training session this evening. At 9/8c, you are required to tune in to your local NBC affiliate and watch The Office. Failure to do so could result in disciplinary action, up to and including discharge.
In my humble opinion, The Office is the world’s greatest employment law training aid. All you have to do is (1) watch it and (2) do the exact opposite of everything you see.
Tonight’s episode is entitled “Business Trip.” The official NBC description: “Michael brings Andy and Oscar on a business trip to Canada while Jim counts down the days until Pam gets back from art school.”
Tomorrow, I’ll post my analysis detailing exactly what I would tell Dunder Mifflin if I were its lawyer. Anyone who spots an employment law issue that I missed will be entitled to a valuable prize.
As always, thanks for your participation!
