"I'll be the judge of that!"

In this episode we discuss Dwight Jackson who is a Black man alleging he was denied an interview when he applied for a job using his real name but was given an interview when he applied using a more Caucasian-sounding alias name. He has sued the hotel where he applied, and the hotel has responded. While that case is pending litigation, we discuss the reality of workplace bias and give specific guidance on best interviewing and recruitment practices to avoid bias and discrimination – and we also discuss favoritism in the hiring process. We also answer a question from a follower on TikTok on what to do if you are being bullied at work and what rights you have under the law.

Relying on three decades of experience as an employment law attorney and HR Executive, Karen Michael uses real case studies in the news and navigates through the legal landmines and workplace dysfunction that we know is probably happening right now in your organization.
