| Your story on Work Scum! |
| Got a gripe about your boss? Bitter about your internship? Sitting in a dull workplace wondering where it all went wrong? Send your venom to workscum@gmail.com |
| Ground rules |
| I was going to say that rule one is, Do not give the real name of the company you work for, but why should I protect abusive bosses and inept corporations? Sue me! |

Welcome, one and all: embittered graduates, abused interns and cubicle monkeys wondering where it all went wrong. This blog is dedicated to you. Did you slog for years at university only to be rewarded with a job that could be ably performed by a silverback gorilla? As a child, did you dream of glittering stardom or writing books, but now find yourself pushing papers for a company you do not give a fart about? Maybe you are a casualty of the intern system: working for free for stuck-up employers because you’re desperate to build up your CV. If so, you’ve come to the right place.
Together, we will expose employers who treat their interns like old cheese and commiserate over how we ended up tinkering with databases for a mediocre salary. If you have a horror story from your internship, job or job-hunting experiences then send them to me and the best will be posted on Work Scum. And if you have an idea for how you think the site should develop, then just let me know.
We might be pushing papers now, but we will rise again!
Yours truly,
The Office Devil |

I worked there for three years. The developers have to wear a shirt and tie everyday. Also, for my first two years we didn't have internet access. Also we had to enter access codes to enter or leave the building (even for lunch). Also, the access codes tracked our time at work and each week our managers would get an e-mail reporting how much time each employee was at work. Should I keep going?

My god, Praz! That sounds more like being stalked than having a job. And I'm not sure how you survived without internet access (I certainly need it, if not for my actual job then to browse away those tedious minutes on eBay).
