Olivia MarlenePublished 3 years ago in Journal 2020 Vision:
Now it's time for our annual end-of-year retrospective, and quite a year it was. After what quickly turned from optimism for the new decade to something else entirely, now we're all hoping for 2020 hindsight so to speak. However, the court cases continued grinding forward as remote depositions and virtual testimony became much more commonplace. So here are our 'hot takes' on some major opinions rendered during the year of pandemic and especially relevant to our firm's various practice areas.
WILLIAM SCOTT GOLDMANPublished 3 years ago in JournalDear America,
Saturday, November 28, 2020 Dear America, Titles say so much about who we are as people. From conception we all have the title of son or daughter. Some titles we like and some we do not like. Some titles are natural titles as well as work titles. Natural gifts are easily developed into payable skills with the experience of time and practice. Some work titles are not natural titles and that shows in the morale of the employee with the title. Acquiring a job for a title or pay is a common practice in America. Natural ability and passion is not required for work titles, however not having natural ability or passion affects the quality and morale of the person with the title. The only reason to hold onto a job or title that you do not like, is if the benefits outweigh your dissatisfaction with the work.

Steve HarrisonPublished 4 years ago in Journal#Speakingout & the case for a pro wrestling union.
PART 1 : THE CASE FOR A UNION - WHY NEED ONE? The conversation surrounding a pro wrestling union first gained prominence in the 80s, specifically in 1984 when Jesse Ventura tried attempting to organize the wrestlers working for the then WWF. As the story goes his attempts were squashed by a politicking Hulk Hogan who informed Vince McMahon of Ventura’s plans before any solid progress could have been made. This was in 1984 and in the 3.5 decades since then any conversation surrounding a union still lives and dies by the assumption that it would not work due to backstage politics. However, for more reasons than one could list in an article introduction, wrestling is drastically different in 2020 both structurally and culturally than it was during the era of Hulkamania. Wrestlers appear more willing to work with each other, you can see this by examining the change in pro wrestling style, the faster pace the multiple kick outs, wrestlers are more willing to let all participants look good and get everyone over rather than just one person. Pro Wrestling commentators such as Brian Last often deride this as a negative, claiming that it hurts the quality of the in ring product, and opinions vary on if he’s right or wrong when he says that. Regardless I see this as an indictment of a wrestling culture with less overall political backstabbing. There are other examples of course such as how wrestlers expose and talk about each other in a non-kayfabe manner online & the increased awareness of what happens behind the scenes that fans have gained due to the rise of the internet wrestling community.
Brian GlynnPublished 4 years ago in JournalBeing young, successful, and oppressed by the notion of blackness
If you are a person offended by the notion of blackness, one way to please a person oppressed by the notion of whiteness is to make them money. Leaving home at seventeen, I realised the values of hard work which my parents instilled in me and began to showcase this in my attitude towards life. If you think about it, it makes sense. In an age where cultural appropriation is rife in the media, it has become easier to spot the two things companies hold closest in their hearts. Money is one of them – but, of course, this goes without saying. The other is how the public views them. So, picture this: you have an employee who not only works hard (the result of which is ultimately you bringing home more bacon), but is also black? Killing two birds with one stone has never been easier. However, upon closer inspection, many companies have realised that improving the latter increases the former, and companies who are aware of this aren't shy to use this layer of advertising unashamedly.
