Thank you for being a reader and supporter of HR Bartender.
It’s hard to believe that HR Bartender has been around since 2008. Wow. It all started over dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant. Mr. Bartender (his name is Keith BTW) is a marketer and had been pestering me about writing an electronic newsletter. And I kept ignoring it. ha.ha. So, we’re out at dinner and Keith brings it up. I finally say, “I don’t wanna do it.” The response I get is “You need to do something.”
Then I say, “I want to start a blog.”
That prompts a conversation about “What do you know about blogging?”, which the answer was “Nothing but we can figure it out.” Dinner goes on and the next question was, “Well, if we start a blog, what are you going to call it?”
I say, “HR Bartender. Because people always want me to act like a bartender. Listen to their stories. Offer advice when asked for it. Give people the nudge they need to go make stuff happen.” Keith said, “Let’s go home and buy a domain name.” We did and 17 years later here we are. We had no idea what we were doing, but we figured it out. We’ve published more than 2900 articles and 22 episodes of the HR Bartender Show.
We couldn’t have done any of this without you. Thank you for reading and supporting HR Bartender. Thank you to all of the organizations that have partnered with us to share HR information. You are very much appreciated.
Keith and I are eternally grateful for your support. Thank you so much for being a part of this community.
