Recession Reporter Laid Off... Denied Chance To Publish Final Piece About Getting Laid Off | Techdirt.
Now is the winter of our discontent, the poet said. Of course, the
irony of being "laid off" for writing a final story about being "laid
off" is not lost on me. I prefer to focus on the rise of euphemisms in
our culture; stemming from a desire not to "offend" or speak words that
will cause pain. When did we decide that calling a job termination
something else would ease the blow? Of course, firing a reporter for
doing a series about firings raises more questions about the employer
than it does about the employee. When you are deciding what kind of law
you practice, consider one of the advantages of going solo. If a client
fires you, you aren't out of a job. You just need to find another
client. Let's go down the yellow brick road, and see what we can find.
