Huh. WageSlave is a pretty busy three column PHP-Nuke site full of the highs and lows of work. I’m sure everyone has a story or two. This is where some of them have ended up.
I sighed early when I tried to access ‘older articles’ on the site and instead was given an article ‘search’ feature. What if I don’t know the title and simply want to browse the older articles? I think that link was labeled wrong. I later found what I was looking for under the stories archive link instead. Phew.
The concept of wageslave.net is interesting. Anyone can contribute their stories of workplace joy and misery. The website has a few regular contributors and is seeking more writers. I enjoyed the stories. Human nature is a curious thing. I think the insider stories from ‘work’ clearly reveal many examples of this. Since you can post anonymously you get some real truth here, such as in the entry entitled ‘To my crap coworker’: ‘To my coworker who thinks it’s ok to talk about your dislike for (blacks, gays, pizza delivery people, etc.) at company functions, you need to get a life, stop drinking on the job and take a diversity class! ‘ Other site features include ‘Ask the Bitchy Assistant’ which only has a few entries but has great potential. The site while busy in appearance only has a few months worth of content. If this site starts getting a lot of traffic it could end up with a wonderful collection of stories.
A great idea for a site. Well worth a bookmark. Hopefully the word will get out about this site so it can develop a rich archive and a diverse collection of work related stories. I’m sure many people would be interested in reading them.
