True Case

  • The manager: • Told employees they looked “old” and “should wear their dentures”
  • Told an employee that a stroke victim looked “weak”
  • Collected FMLA paperwork from an employee . . . then left it in his car for months.
  • Abdelmassih v.Mitra LLC(E.D. Pa.,2018)
Consider this case:
The manager: • Told employees they looked “old” and “should wear their dentures” • Told an employee that a stroke victim looked “weak” • Collected FMLA paperwork from an employee . . . then left it in his car for months.
Court: the remote HR department’s noninvolvement (one HR person for 120 stores and 3,600 employees) = evidence of interference
Abdelmassih v. Mitra LLC (E.D. Pa., 2018)

Your Managers Are KILLING You! And it’s no defense that your HR Department is stretched too thin!
