In my opinion, anonymously rating people instead of approaching them directly is neither constructive nor courageous.

True! I doubt people are using this sort of site to be constructive or courageous, though. I think they just want to vent. I can understand that. What I don't really understand is why anyone else is interested in reading that venting.

Here's my little vent: "EMPLOYEES LEAVE MANAGERS, NOT COMPANIES"

People do leave bad managers, but they also leave bad companies even if they themselves have a good manager.

Looks promising. With alittle marketing this can really take off and be used for hiring purposes.

Does anyone know how I can reach out to the founder?
