You know about friends with benefits (you do know about friends with benefits, right?).

And married, jobs, pets and desserts with benefits

New Jersey has decided that it may be time to up the ante and include independent contractors in the benefits gig. Yep, there is a bill in the legislature that plans to do just that.

Your office, a movie or a clever construct designed to entertain while imparting widsom:

• Manager who plays by the old rules.

• Convicted felon with talent but no control.

It is a movie (Major League) and probably your office and most certainly a clever ruse executed by Travis Vance and Curtis Moore.
