  • Social Media and the Workplace: Free Speech Meets Employment Law

    Social Media and the Workplace: Free Speech Meets Employment Law
    2026/07/16
    Social media is everywhere today. Ever wonder how the role social media plays into the employer/employee relationship? In this episode, guests Aaron Holt and SaNni M-K Lemonidis, both experienced labor and employment attorneys, join host Matt Greer for a deep dive into the murky waters of who said what where and to whom. Can employers regulate what an employee says on a social media channel – say Facebook or X? It depends. The “manner and method” of our free speech outside of work still matters. It’s about content and context. Harassment and discrimination matter still matter. Try the “water cooler principle,” if a comment was made on social media, ask if the same comment was made at work around the water cooler, would the boss feel obligated to act. If the answer is yes, then action is likely required. This is a fascinating field, nuanced and sometimes dependent on the size of a company and capacity for control as well, as the company’s own use of social media in outreach and marketing. The laws, and EEOC guidance, haven’t changed. But the environment we live and work in has. Basic principles still apply. For employees, be nice to each other. For employers, do your best to ensure no one is being harassed or bullied. If someone says there’s a problem, employers can protect themselves by investigating complaints and developing and adhering to consistent policies.

  • Remote or In Office? Changing How We Communicate and Resolve Differences.

    Remote or In Office? Changing How We Communicate and Resolve Differences.
    2026/05/19
    What are irreconcilable workplace differences, and are they on the rise? Trickier issues are coming up these days and are challenging the status quo. As how and where we work changes, when do misunderstandings become a disruption, and what do we do next? Fact is, the workplace is a social situation as much as a labor issue, and learning how we interact with each other is more important than ever. Friendships, relationships, cliques, supervisory roles, and generational gaps factor into the workplace environment. And then there’s the law. It’s a lot to digest. Working from home, a return to work in the office, and an increasing understanding of mental health and workplace balance are all creating frictions and new challenges. Remote work since the pandemic has only complicated issues. Communication is more important than ever. And it’s not easy. Workplaces are made of humans. And we’re all human. When all you have is a hammer, all problems look like a nail. When we’re litigators, maybe litigation looks like the solution. But sometimes, understanding the bigger picture and the humanity, and addressing issues before they become lawsuits, come into play. This discussion may change the way you think.

  • Religious Employers and Employment Law: Whose Rights?

    Religious Employers and Employment Law: Whose Rights?
    2026/02/17
    Religious organizations and their employees fall into a murky and often-overlooked area of labor and employment law. Guests James “Jim” Paul and Michael Subit practice in employment and labor law and are versed in the world of religious employers and their workers. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act carves out some interesting exemptions in employment law regarding religion-based businesses, but some recent court rulings seem to conflict with each other. Paul and Subit join host Matt Greer to delve into what constitutes a “religious employer” and where religious beliefs and practices challenge existing employment laws. A recent appeals court ruling spells out nine questions regarding religion-based retailers, religious hospitals, and other businesses. Is it created for profit? Does it make a secular product? Do articles of incorporation state a religious purpose? All of these considerations may matter. This issue goes way beyond practicing a religion. Consider same sex marriage, certain behaviors, and reproductive rights. Hear how quickly employer and employee rights can conflict. Is a Supreme Court showdown on the horizon?
