Intermittent FMLA abuse is already a massive headache for employers. Now there are “deception services” that can actually help employees fake their way into additional time away from work.
When Google fired a software engineer over a memo he wrote criticizing the company’s diversity efforts, little did it know it would set off a chain of events that put it smack dab in the middle of a national media frenzy — and an HR nightmare.
