The World’s Greatest, Must-See Presentation on EEOC Tactics, Trends, and Tips that HR

Absolutely, Positively Cannot Afford To Miss.

By the humble Eric Meyer, Esq. and Karen McDonough

Disclaimer

DisclaimerEric is a lawyer. But, he is not your lawyer. Karen is from the EEOC. But, she does not speak for the EEOC.

Therefore, don’t get it twisted:

● Even though we’re talking about the law, nothing here is legal advice or the official position of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

● Nothing here creates an attorney-client relationship, or will get you any special favors at the EEOC.

● Rather, we consider all of your questions to be hypothetical and assume that you are asking them for a friend.

● We say, “It depends” a lot.

Disclaimer● If the room is too cold, it’s not our fault.

● If the room is too hot, it’s not our fault.

● If the temperature in the room is just right, we gladly accept all credit and please feel free to adjust our presenter scores accordingly.
