I must admit I was rather surprised when I saw the title and then compared it to the site. “George’s Employment Blawg”. The title certainly lacks creativity and the first thing that popped into my head was that the site was about a man called George who was going to report on his rather menial job using phrases such as “Fo shizzle” and the like! Thankfully the end result turned out to be one of the most expertly written blogs I have ever encountered!
Georges Employment Blawg (a play on the word “blog” to include the word “law”) covers topics related to the area of employment and is a collaboration between three professionals; George (the founder of the “blawg”), Michael Harris and Catherine Collingwood who happens to be the designer of the site. In my opinion she hasn’t done a bad job of it. The colour scheme works well and while there are Google Ad’s present, they are placed in a position where they don’t get in the way of you reading the content.
The content itself is (as I’ve said earlier) related to everything employment but slanted more towards the legal aspects in it’s case studies. It also reports findings from other sites which almost makes it an essential portal for existing lawyers and wannabe lawyers. Now the word “lawyer” may scare away the average Joe Soap who may be expecting to be bombarded with a load of legal mumbo-jumbo but surprisingly this isn’t the case and everything is explained in an easy to follow manner.
If you are part of the workforce and are interested in the implications of lawsuits amongst other companies/corporations then I would highly recommend this blog. If you do happen to be unemployed then I would still recommend the blog for it’s incredible insights!NULL
