Confusion and stagnation

p>Every week I get a bulletin from a well-respected law firm with warnings about things that can affect a business today. These are the headlines from a recent one that had a lengthy article attached to each one:

• State AGs Express Concerns Over Criminal Background Check Suits
• Using Social Media to Post About New Job Could Cause Legal Issues
• NLRB Rulings in Limbo as High Court Reviews Recess Appointments
• Some Small Businesses Consider Cutting Family Insurance Coverage
• Employers Deal with Injured Workers' Use of Opioid Prescriptions
• Smokers Cost Employers Extra $5,816 Per Year than Nonsmokers
• Employers Helping Immigrants Work Toward Citizenship
• More Tech Startups Doing Away with Management
• Companies Urged to Focus on Better Employee Manuals

This is just one week's worth. Some are much longer and worse. Multiply that by fifty two. Is it any wonder that small businesses without the advantage of having attorneys on staff or on retainer are in such a state of confusion and stagnation?
