Is there a better way to calculate severance? In Episode 104 of Fire Away, Stuart sits down with Matt Dewar and Chris Robertson for a candid conversation about one of the most complex issues in Canadian employment law. From statutory minimums and common-law notice to termination clauses, employee bargaining power, and the real cost of litigation, they examine why the current system can feel unclear to everyone involved and what practical changes might make it more predictable and fair.   #employmentlaw #severancepay #termination #workplacelaw   Guest Matt Dewar, Founding Partner at Duntrune LLP https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-dewar-787b2065/ Guest Chris Robertson, Principal at Robertson Law https://www.linkedin.com/company/robertson-law-ca/   At Rudner Law, we see employment relationships as an extension of your interpersonal ones. This is true regardless of whether you are an employee, a multi-national corporation, a start-up, a family business or a non-profit organization. We recognize that interpersonal relationships are complicated. This is why we focus all our energy and resources into mastering the practice of Employment Law, also referred to as HR or Workplace Law. Our lawyers have substantial knowledge, expertise and experience in Employment Law and pride themselves in focusing on the practical and business concerns of our clients.

In episode 268, Coffey talks with Jeff Lay about what it means to build a conflict-capable organization, why artificial harmony is more dangerous than open disagreement, and how leaders can develop the skills and culture needed to handle difficult conversations before they become expensive problems. –  HRSOUTHWEST  October 11-13, 2026 –  Good Morning, HR listeners can use the promo code 2026-CoffeyGMHR-100 to save $100 on an HRSouthwest full conference registration at https://hrsouthwest.com! ________________ They discuss the concept of a conflict-capable organization as an alternative to the unrealistic goal of conflict elimination; the conflict incubator — how childhood environments and previous workplaces shape an individual's default conflict behaviors; artificial harmony versus genuine trust, and why silence in a meeting rarely signals agreement; the financial cost of unresolved conflict, including disengagement losses that don't show up on a P&L but function like money thrown in a fire; becoming fluent in the language of small things — addressing friction early before emotions escalate into "you always" and "you never" conversations; how a leader's response to the first person who raises conflict determines whether anyone ever raises it again; the challenge of coaching up when the conflict source is the leader themselves, and how HR can build the relational runway to do it; social media, generational change, remote work, and AI as compounding forces making productive conflict harder to navigate; emotional intelligence, humility, and curiosity as foundational leadership skills for conflict resolution; and the CURVE framework — cared for, understood, respected, valued, and empowered — as a diagnostic for organizational health.  For HR teams who discuss this podcast in their team meetings, we've created a discussion starter PDF to help guide your conversation. Download it here https://goodmorninghr.com/EP268  Good Morning, HR is brought to you by Imperative—Bulletproof Background Checks.

His work centers on helping organizations become conflict-capable—creating cultures where difficult conversations can be addressed with clarity, respect, and accountability.  Jeff is a SHRM-SCP and frequent speaker for leadership teams, HR professionals, churches, and nonprofit organizations. He lives in East Texas with his wife and family and enjoys camping, reading, and cheering on the Dallas Cowboys Texas A&M football.  Jeff Lay can be reached at:  Website:  |  www.thepeoplecurve.com  LinkedIn:  | https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-lay-shrm-scp-09987a10   About Mike Coffey:  Mike Coffey is an entrepreneur, licensed private investigator, business strategist, HR consultant, and registered yoga teacher. In 1999, he founded Imperative, a background investigations and due diligence firm helping risk-averse clients make well-informed decisions about the people they involve in their business. Imperative delivers in-depth employment background investigations, know-your-customer and anti-money laundering compliance, and due diligence investigations to more than 300 risk-averse corporate clients across the US, and, through its PFC Caregiver & Household Screening brand, many more private estates, family offices, and personal service agencies. Imperative has been named a Best Places to Work, the Texas Association of Business' small business of the year, and is accredited by the Professional Background Screening Association.  Mike shares his insight from 25+ years of HR-entrepreneurship on the Good Morning, HR podcast, where each week he talks to business leaders about bringing people together to create value for customers, shareholders, and community. Mike has been recognized as an Entrepreneur of Excellence by FW, Inc. and has twice been recognized as the North Texas HR Professional of the Year.  Mike serves as a board member of a number of organizations, including the Texas State Council, where he serves Texas' 31 SHRM chapters as State Director-Elect; Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County; the Texas Association of Business; and the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce, where he is chair of the Talent Committee. Mike is a certified Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) through the HR Certification Institute and a SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP). He is also a Yoga Alliance registered yoga teacher (RYT-200) and teaches multiple times each week. Mike and his very patient wife of 29 years are empty nesters in Fort Worth.  Learning Objectives: Distinguish between artificial harmony and genuine organizational trust, and identify the leadership behaviors that create each. Apply the "language of small things" approach to surface and address interpersonal friction before it escalates into formal conflict requiring HR or legal intervention. Assess the financial and cultural cost of unresolved workplace conflict and use that framing to make the business case for investing in manager training and conflict-capable culture.

In this episode of Hiring to Firing, hosts Tracey Diamond and Emily Schifter are joined by Josh Gelfand, Troutman Pepper Locke partner from the firm's Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation practice group, to break down the nuts and bolts of executive employment agreements through the lens of high-profile college football coach departures. Using real-world examples — including Jimbo Fisher's record-breaking $76 million buyout from Texas A&M, Mel Tucker's for-cause termination at Michigan State following misconduct allegations, and LSU's ultimately unsuccessful attempt to fire Brian Kelly for cause — the conversation unpacks how provisions like termination for cause, good reason resignations, severance structures, and equity arrangements play out when the stakes are highest. Tune in to gain practical insights into how these contract terms are negotiated, drafted, and disputed, and what lessons everyday executive agreements can draw from the headlines.

In episode 267, Coffey talks with Catherine Clifton about AI-generated employee grievances, another lawsuit arising from a DEI training program, a Walgreens race and age discrimination case, and a Reddit scenario involving FMLA leave and workplace gossip. They discuss the rise of AI-generated employee grievances citing nonexistent laws and containing factual errors, and how employers should respond to them the same way they'd respond to any poorly written complaint; AI use by medical providers in ADA accommodation responses — including providers drawing conclusions that are legally the employer's to make; the danger of employees using AI to build one-sided cases that start with a conclusion rather than an objective analysis of facts; an EEOC lawsuit against Washington University in St. Louis arising from a DEI training that racially segregated participants over an employee's explicit objection, followed by elimination of her position after she filed an EEOC charge; the structural problems with demographic-based separation in DEI programming and the assumption that shared identity equals shared experience; the Walgreens case and the legal standard for comparators in race and age discrimination claims — including similar job, same decision-maker, comparable conduct, and disparate treatment; how summary judgment works and why consistent policy enforcement across all employees is the strongest defense against comparator arguments; the risk of employees not knowing what disciplinary action others have received, and how that gap fuels gossip and unfounded discrimination claims; and a Reddit scenario involving a coworker complaining about an FMLA-protected employee, a supervisor who deflects with "HR is aware," and how HR should respond to protect privacy while addressing cultural warning signs. For HR teams who discuss this podcast in their team meetings, we've created a discussion starter PDF to help guide your conversation.

In episode 265, Coffey talks with John Singleton about HR's long-standing identity crisis, the strategic skills the profession must develop to stay relevant, and how AI is reshaping both the work of HR and the way work itself gets done.  They discuss HR's decades-long reputation as a bureaucratic gatekeeper — from the 1996 Fortune critique through the 2025 revisit of "Why We Hate HR" — and what it means to function instead as a strategic confidant and ethical agent; the DEI whiplash as a case study in HR failing to provide compliant, data-grounded counsel when it mattered most; using PESTEL and SWOT analysis to advise on business expansion decisions including workforce availability and market fit; financial literacy as a critical and underdeveloped skill for HR professionals, including reading P&L statements and linking people decisions to EBITDA; the dangers of AI-powered auto-application tools flooding recruiting pipelines with unvetted, uninterested candidates; why AI should not replace human judgment in interviewing, candidate evaluation, and culture-fit assessment; the growing requirement for HR practitioners to understand AI governance, prompt literacy, output verification, and state-level AI employment legislation; the individual responsibility of HR professionals to own their own continuous learning when employers won't fund it; HR's emerging role as architect of human-AI workflow integration in partnership with IT and operations; and HR's internal identity crisis as the profession's biggest obstacle to earning the strategic credibility it seeks.  For HR teams who discuss this podcast in their team meetings, we've created a discussion starter PDF to help guide your conversation.

County of Santa Cruz. This episode unpacks the sobering disconnect between emotional narratives of discrimination and the rigid legal frameworks that govern them.

In episode 264, Coffey talks with Timothy State about the science of workforce wellbeing, why middle managers are the most at-risk population right now, and how AI-powered life quality companions are transforming the way organizations understand and support thriving at scale.  They discuss the five core dimensions of human wellbeing — physical and mental health, relationships, security, and meaning and purpose — and why employer influence on all of them is both a business and social responsibility; EAP underutilization and the limits of traditional point-solution approaches to employee wellness investment; the predictive power of the question "does my leader care about my wellbeing?" on retention and workforce outcomes; team-level wellbeing contagion and how one individual's improvement reliably lifts the whole team over time; middle managers as the most burned-out and at-risk population in today's workforce; the perverse hiring incentives created when leaders are held accountable for individual wellbeing outcomes rather than demonstrated care behaviors; the difference between using AI to extract efficiency from existing work versus using AI to elevate the human system itself and generate human-centered value; cognitive overload as an unintended consequence of AI-driven task elimination, including the loss of low-complexity recovery work; Altius's AI life quality companion "Alti" — its nine wellbeing dimensions, 750-plus KPIs, perpetual memory, and 96% user satisfaction rate across 26 countries; and the radical privacy architecture required for employer-sponsored AI wellbeing tools to earn employee trust and avoid discriminatory misuse of health data.  For HR teams who discuss this podcast in their team meetings, we've created a discussion starter PDF to help guide your conversation.

Sign up for Practi, a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing.Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode:* The billable hour damages client relationships. Stuart's core message is that charging by the hour makes clients afraid to pick up the phone, meaning they only call when things have already gone wrong, making prevention impossible and the relationship transactional.* Fixed fees and phased billing are a practical starting point. Rudner Law has moved to phase-based fixed fees for litigation (e.g., a flat fee for the negotiation phase, then a separate fee for pleadings), giving clients cost certainty without requiring lawyers to price an entire matter upfront.* Subscription models work for proactive legal work. Stuart described offering subscription-based services where clients receive quarterly contract and policy updates as employment law evolves, reducing risk and creating ongoing and predictable revenue for the firm.* AI is accelerating the shift away from hourly billing. Stuart uses ChatGPT, Claude, and Thomson Reuters' Co-Counsel to dramatically speed up research and document review. He acknowledged that billing by the hour makes no sense when AI can do 85% of the work in minutes, which makes value-based billing not just preferable but necessary.* The subscription conversation requires a new kind of client dialogue. Unlike the billable hour where the only discussion is the rate, subscriptions require transparent upfront conversations about what's included, what's not, usage limits, and the ability to cancel. This is a shift that Stuart sees as ultimately building deeper, more trusting client relationships.__________________________Want your question to be answered on a future show?

 In episode 263, Coffey talks with Jimmy Taylor about the state of return-to-office, AI's real impact on workforce participation and HR practice, and why proactive networking and skills-based hiring matter more than ever.  They discuss CBRE data showing peak office utilization reaching 80% and the factors driving successful return-to-office adoption; the hidden financial costs employees bear when returning to the office and how employers should account for that in compensation and goodwill; why early-career professionals stand to benefit most from in-person work through mentorship, visibility, and relationship-building; June jobs report softness, a 50-year-low labor participation rate, and competing explanations from immigration enforcement changes and AI displacement; AI as a net job creator over time, drawing parallels to fears about the internet eliminating insurance agents, real estate agents, and recruiters in the 1990s; the organizational opportunity and challenge of assessing AI skill gaps and reskilling loyal existing employees rather than replacing them with outside talent; Gen Z's surprising gaps in desktop computing and interpersonal skills despite their reputation for tech fluency; the case for replacing traditional resumes with tailored application processes and front-end skills assessments to filter out AI-generated candidate slop; professional association involvement as a proactive career resilience and network-building strategy before a job loss forces it; and Dallas HR's hands-on AI skills day designed to move HR professionals from AI curiosity to practical daily application.  For listeners of Good Morning HR podcast, use 2026-CoffeyGMHR-100 promo code and take $100 off a HRSouthwest full conference registration at https://hrsouthwest.com.   For HR teams who discuss this podcast in their team meetings, we've created a discussion starter PDF to help guide your conversation.

In This Episode Artificial intelligence can dramatically improve productivity—but only if businesses implement it with the right safeguards. In this episode, Adi Klevit interviews Andrew Adams, Practice Leader of the Labor and Employment Practice Group at DarrowEverett LLP, about the rapidly evolving legal landscape surrounding AI in the workplace. Andrew explains how employers can leverage AI to improve efficiency while avoiding costly legal, compliance, and employment issues. Adi and Andrew discuss one of today's biggest challenges: balancing automation with human judgment. As more organizations use AI to assist with hiring, performance evaluations, layoffs, and other employment decisions, businesses must ensure that humans remain actively involved in reviewing recommendations. Andrew explains how AI models can unintentionally introduce bias or create legal exposure if employers rely solely on automated outputs without proper oversight. The conversation also explores the growing concern around confidential information. Andrew explains why employees who upload company data into public AI tools may unintentionally expose proprietary information, trade secrets, or even privileged legal communications. He introduces the concept of "shadow AI," where employees independently use unauthorized AI tools without company approval, creating significant security and compliance risks. Perhaps the biggest takeaway is that AI should be viewed as a business tool—not a replacement for sound judgment. Organizations that establish clear policies, provide employee training, implement secure AI environments, and maintain human oversight will be far better positioned to benefit from AI while minimizing legal and operational risks.  

In episode 262, Coffey talks with Randy Anderson about the critical differentiators for human performers in an AI-driven workplace.  They discuss AI's inevitability and its impact on task elimination versus full job replacement; the enduring human advantage in relational and interpersonal transactions that AI cannot replicate; emotional intelligence as a two-sided competency — reading others and maintaining self-awareness; nonverbal communication, microexpressions, and the limits of virtual interaction for building culture; the case for renaming "soft skills" as core skills or power skills given their foundational value; generational deficits in interpersonal development worsened by COVID, remote learning, and screen-based communication; how employers can purposefully structure learning tracks, mentoring, and stretch assignments to develop core skills alongside technical ones; top employer-identified skill gaps from a Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce talent survey — emotional intelligence, leadership, global mindset, and adaptability; AI-generated cover letters undermining candidate credibility, including a case where AI reproduced a hiring manager's own quotes; and time-windowed team skill development as a practical organizational strategy for building interpersonal competency at scale.  For HR teams who discuss this podcast in their team meetings, we've created a discussion starter PDF to help guide your conversation.

WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS EPISODE ABOUT BEING A VISIBILITY EXPERT AS A PRACTICING ATTORNEY Those first travelers making their way West did so without a roadmap. But in taking the opportunity, they paved the way for the nation's expansion. That spirit of the West is very much rooted in Tara Stingley and the Nebraska law firm of which she is a partner. As the first woman to serve on Cline Williams' executive committee, she challenged other members to think about how they defined issues and the impact of their decisions. She also established her niche as an employment law expert within the legal community. Laying down that foundation has paid dividends in affording her opportunities, as it can for you, too. And unlike that first wave of westward travelers, you don't have to go forward blindly; Tara has tips to help you build your roadmap to greater visibility. In this episode of The Lawyer's Edge podcast, you'll hear about the payoff potential in raising your profile and building your brand as a subject-matter expert and how to start proactively doing it (even if you're still a young lawyer). Tara will also discuss the importance of representation, the need for professional women to stop underestimating their value, what plays into a client's decision to pick you over others, and so much more! 1:51 - How Tara became a lawyer and partner at Cline Williams and how the law firm differs from others 9:51 - The importance of Tara's role as the first woman on the firm's executive committee 13:22 - Why you should strive to increase your visibility as an expert in your field, even when you can't see an immediate payoff 20:58 - How lawyers can create branding opportunities for themselves rather than wait for them to appear 25:06 - The mindset you need for approaching opportunities to raise your profile and ultimately get clients you want to work with 29:40 - An essential piece of advice for professional women (especially those dealing with imposter syndrome) Mentioned In How to Become a Visible Expert in Your Practice Area Cline Williams Employment Law Alliance Tara Stingley on LinkedIn Get Connected with The Coaching Team at hello@thelawyersedge.com The Lawyer's Edge SPONSOR FOR THIS EPISODE… This episode is brought to you by the coaching team at The Lawyer's Edge, a training and coaching firm that has been focused exclusively on lawyers and law firms since 2008.
