Answer to Anonymous

Anon:

Rather than just give you some case citations with a bunch of legalese, (that may or may not make sense to you), I figured giving you some authoritative articles, investigation services, monographs, and reports from 3rd parties would help you understand this evolving field. There are also a number of books that have been written on the subject, especially in the HR and Business Management field that you can pick up from Amazon. For a good introduction, that is not in legalese, try Nolo Press. One of the citations below is from the author that wrote their book for California.

A couple of investigation services:

  1. Interesting stuff, and you obviously know of what you speak. Sadly, you are shouting in to the wind. Do you really think the Barry's and the anonymous poster you are responding to will hear a well reasoned, counter-argument?

    This whole thing is so pathetic. I'm really soured on CF...
