Master List of JOB VENT Sites

master_list_rant.jpg 

Venting about work can be very therapeutic, but it can also be a dangerous habit-forming addiction.  Rehearsing anger is not only bad for your career, it is bad for life.  However, on occasion, there is nothing like anonymously releasing your work frustrations.  There are certainly no shortage of Web sites that allow you to rant about your boss or expose your co-workers annoying behavior.    

Stick with Jobacle, your source for free career advice, employment news and Master Lists about work!

Honestly, do you know how I rant? I write myself an e-mail. I say everything that's on my mind. Then comes the most important step. I delete the e-mail, never sending it to anyone including myself. I find that this let's me release tension without having to worry that it will come back to bite me. Some of these sites are cool but I don't find I have the use for most of them.

I just realized I forgot to mention Trench Mice. These guys actually pay per scoop. While I haven't submitted any good juice yet, I've seen a few of their ads around the Web looking for bloggers.

Are those sites really secure ? I mean, couldn't a company's IT geeks just go to the vent site, like "jobvent", and illicitly retrieve the IP addresses of the posts then trace it back to the venters?

Otis: As with all things Internet, people should proceed with caution.

What a difference a year makes. Most people are more concerned about having a job now than bitching about one.

I am now facing a situation where a few of employees are unhappy because I reported them, creating a hostile and unwelcome enviroment.The supervisor, these employees and employer trying to make me quit.In this facility it's no human been in authority you could go, because they all are friends and family. We are never told that we are doing a good job from our manager. Instead, she will let us know what we have done wrong. There is also favoritism in the workplace. On a scale of 1 to 10 the employee morale is 1. Unfair in the workplace, eastbay, ca
