This Job Sucks
July 5th, 2007We’ve all had at least one job which we absolutely hated. Maybe the boss was an asshole, maybe they kept taking your stapler, or maybe they just shafted you on benefits. Well if you’ve got the vitriol, share it over at JobVent and perhaps you’ll save someone else from making the same employment mistake.
Once you get beyond the site’s admittedly dull appearance, you’ll find a wealth of… well, anger. But an entertaining kind of anger, at least. The system is pretty simple: visitors give a -5 to +5 rating to different aspects of their employment, like pay, benefits, work environment and so forth. Those who aren’t satisfied with crucifying their shitty job numerically can also write a short review, many of which are priceless in a Best-of-Craigslist kind of way.
Even if you’re not there to kvech, JobVent can be handy for feeling out a company you’re thinking of applying to. Considering the nature of the site, the companies that are good at keeping their workers happy really stand out. Just look for the handful of places with a cumulative score greater than 0.
