Human Resources 101

A couple of time per year, employment lawyer Robert Smithson publishes some of the weirder things that occur in the employment context.

For example, this story from the Philippines:

…a judge who was ejected from the bench due to his belief in elves was attempting to regain his former employment.

After his removal, the judge threatened an “ungodly reprisal”. And, it appears that a number of related people and places began to experience calamitous events (including a fire in the Supreme Court’s session hall and numerous mysterious car accidents and serious illnesses).

The judge, however, insisted he was not behind these incidents and that the responsible parties included “Luis”, “Armand”, and “Angel” (a trio of invisible elves apparently bent on cleaning up the corruption in the Philippines’ legal system). It seems that Luis (whom the judge described as an “avenger”) has been a very bad influence on Armand and Angel.
