I’m a trial lawyer. This was a low level administrative hearing. The lawyer for the station’s did a terrible job and annoyed the hearing officer. In California employers usually don’t contest unemployment because it’s a dick move and the employer is very unlikely to win because public policy favors awarding unemployment as it should

A completely dick move, it’s astonishing to me that they would send multiple lawyers and that a high level executive would want to sit in this hearing. Also the bar for cutting off unemployment is deliberately made pretty high because otherwise employers would be taking advantage all the time (they’re the ones with the resources), they should have known there was a good chance they’d lose. And they’re still appealing it?? Nobody should ever donate to npr again until they fire every exec that signed off on this bs.
True it’s a low level, 30 minute administrative hearing, but the examining attorney is vice chairman of a 900 person, Amlaw 100 firm - Duane Morris is not Gibson Dunn but one would expect better and for him to follow basic cross examination precepts as the other commenter notes.
