Happy Birthday to Me.

Four years ago this month, the Connecticut Employment Law Blog was born.  (You can view the very first entry about civil union discrimination here.) It has grown up a lot since then (and even went through an image makeover earlier this year), but I hope that I’ve maintained one thing consistently — to provide insight on new and noteworthy developments for employers in Connecticut.

Yes, the blog has gotten awards (most recently, this week, by being named one of the top Labor & Employment Law Blogs by Lexis/Nexis — thank you!), but frankly the most gratifying part of doing this blog is a comment like the one I received yesterday from someone who found the blog useful and helpful.

The statistics shows that this blog has been viewed somewhere over 1.5 million times or so.  (Wow!) Despite the statistics, it is the personal feedback from individuals who pass along an interesting case or even let me know that I made a typo in a prior post (hey, we’re all human) that keep me motivated to write.

If you’ve never left a comment or sent me an e-mail, I’d love to hear from you directly. Drop me an e-mail or use the contact link at the top of the page to let me know one thing about the blog your love or hate. Or let me know a topic you’d like to see discussed. (But PLEASE, skip the specific questions or requests for legal advice; due to ethics rules, I can’t respond.)  And subscribe to the Facebook page which allows for some more feedback too.

I continue to be grateful to my colleagues at Pullman & Comley (and particularly the marketing department) for their assistance with guest posts and support.  I’m truly blessed to work here.

Thank you all for your continued support and loyal readership.  And maybe, just maybe, we’ll have a big party when the blog turns five next year.
