Employees

I thought the tides are turning and I think I might be right but it may take longer than I first thought. This week showed a company had to pay it's ex-employee $17,000 in compensation and lost wages. Compensation was for humiliation, loss of dignity and injury to feelings.

I'll sit on the fence of this one becuase we have bad employers and bad employees alike and you just can't tell who is really right in these cases.

But in this case I just have to highlight that if you have a back injury how can you drive to Queenstown for the ice hockey season, and why was his coach concerned the issue might effect his ability to gain a place in the national team?

His coach is talking about the issue effecting his ability, not his injury... what happened to his injury... surely that would effect his ability to play a full on contact sport like ice hockey!!!!!
