The pandemic-era “golden age of employee benefits” is over.
At least, that’s the message some employers are sending as companies like Deloitte and Zoom slash paid parental leave and other family-friendly benefits.

For the past decade, and particularly since Covid sent most workers to their homes, employers
The EEOC thinks it just filed a blockbuster anti-DEI lawsuit against The New York Times.
How does a case like this ever get to trial?
