The Danger of Changing the Rules: A Lesson From the NFL
I know I just posted about the NFL but they keep doing things that are instructive to those of us with an interest in employment law.

Possible outsiders included: a member of the Board of Directors; an outside employment attorney; or an HR consultant.
