"Review" my employer

[psychocandy]

My employer is a right bastard, late payments, works me like a dog, no positive feedback or compliments, no benefits ad infinitum. Would be Psychocandys worst nightmare!

NLUK - you're always moaning! Are you sure you're cut out to be a contractor?

I am thinking of writing a review of my last job on glassdoor. But the company are incredibly litigious and I don't trust glassdoor not to release my personal details under pressure.

I've used Glassdoor a bit. Just do it under a dummy email and name. I actually find the site quite interesting, although most reviews are by disgruntled staff.

Received the following today :

Gold Group is a trusted name in the employment industry..

The name of the organisation should be mentioned. The review should be limited to 300 words and constructive; we want to hear about positives and negatives.

Can't fault their inventiveness and it made me laugh anyway.

Shut yer face and get back down the docks. That Armenian chemical tanker is due in port any minute.
