Post anonymously when you’re disgruntled at work
Sara just emailed me about a new site that is about to launch, where people will be encouraged to post their disgruntled rants about their jobs, employers or workplaces. I know there are plenty of people who post the corporate dirty laundry online when they have bad experiences, often through their personal myspace blogs, livejournals, and what have you. The idea of putting them all in one place with a site like Disgruntles.com is a good idea. Perhaps it will be easier to do a search about a prospective employer before taking a job somewhere. As it is now you can search around for blogs about different companies, but there is no standard for what to type in to a search engine. I’ve seen people type things like xyz company+negative+blog, but there is not standard tag or keyword that people would be typing, so the research can be tedious. With this new site I imagine it will much easier to find multiple posts about the bad companies out there.
Once again technology bringing power to the people, let’s use it wisely!
