The problem with a Yelp for coworkers is that some coworkers are corporate stooges with no class consciousness, so their reviews are worthless. The toxic positivity of some LinkedIn bootlickers is a good example.

Gary in Accounting - 3.2/5 Stars - “He can’t read emails for shit, but he’ll occasionally bring in donuts for everyone”

Dennis from Sales: 5/5. Smarmy, arrogant git with no concept of how anything works, but his wife is great in the sack.

Eats crunchy foods (celery, carrots, etc) in shared office every day for lunch. Loudly.

5/5 thick french accent but most genuine conversations I’ve had in like 5 years at work. Sad he’s gone now, but will discuss Stromae on the clock again when he visits.

Fav: 5/5 super smart, great memory, always willing to help. Treats you with human kindness and consideration. Covers for you when you need it and makes sure to give constructive feedback.

Worst: 1/5 Talks and talks and talks endlessly without respect for other people’s time nor his own. Repeats the same thing in 5 different ways and never fails to dominate the conversation and not let anyone speak. When he does let you speak he doesn’t understand what you say unless he asks a question. Example: Me: “If you push this button it will do x.” Him: “I don’t get it, so what does this button do?” Me: “It does x.” Him: “Oh now I get it.” Me: slams hand on forehead All the above plus a long list of other similar issues. He is the team lead and even his ideas are awful, sometimes they’re good, but many times they are bad to worse.

This isn’t mine, but a comment from an old university tutors, about a non-teaching administrator.

“She’s an organisational terminator. When she retires, they’ll have to replace her with two people”.

He was wrong — she was replaced by three people. As well as being highly effective at her job, she was really lovely and knew so many students’ names.
