What is it that compels people to write these posts? I remember when you'd make some personal decision, and just tell friends if they happened to ask why.

  I'm in the middle of writing one because I think it will help both the company and other start ups. The TLDR is an HR rep left because she was facing a hostile work environment. So what hope did the rest of us have? It's an appeal for startups to train their managers better.

    Are you gonna send it to their CEO privately, or air a bunch of dirty laundry in public?
    • kelukelugames 11y ago
      Well I did email the CEO when I left and he was like that's nice. There isn't any dirty laundry. I just want to make the case for better training, especially since my friends continue to complain to me after I left.

        It might be useful to ask if it's something new in the HR guidebook or a new trend you're seeing in your area.

          They did update the employee conduct when I first complained about it. Previously it just said, "don't watch porn at work." I'm exaggerating. But barely. I want to laugh and I want to cry.

        Don't let those incapable of empathy prevent you from airing a grievance. If it sincerely hurts you, or the people you hold close, then go for it! After all, a well-articulated concern that resonates with others will become popular. Likewise, a poorly thought out or unnecessarily vengeful post will be ignored all the same. I, for one, believe that shining a light on wrongdoing, instead of fearfully pretending it doesn't exist, is one of the privileges of our society. Yes, doing so has several drawbacks, and yes, people are inclined to whine, but it is one of the few recourses the weak have against the strong. More power to you!

  Facebook and Twitter base their business models on people airing personal decisions to the world at large.
