Patrick did a great job bringing down the housing market single handedly.
LOL! Patrick is more powerful than I thought.

So basically your idea is yet another place where employers could spy on employees? Like they already do with FaceBook etc?

No. Just place where employee review employers. If you can review doctors - ratemds.com, review apartments - http://www.apartmentratings.com/, rate professors - ratemyprofessor.com. Why not rate employers....Like how was the work enviroment, how are their benefits etc....
Employers have lawyers!
What happened to free speech and the egotistic crap that is fed in this country that "this is the most free country in the world"....If people are so crapped in their pants in this country...it is not worth living here...
Besides there will be moderators on the forum that will make sure that individual names are not mentioned...
The forum is not for saying that so and so manager in so and so company was a complete asshole...
forum is to discuss work environment, benefits, general attitude of the company etc...How does management treat employees...
And with the popularity of the forum, patrick can afford to get some legal advice if it is ever needed.
Think about this: In http://www.ratemds.com/social/ people are talking about individual doctors..

I think it was all destined to happen because of excessive debt, but I'll happily take credit!
I like the idea of a place to review employers, but I'm afraid of adding too many forums because it's already a bit hard to search for topics. Please copy me at p@patrick.net on suggestions, because I'm actually on vacation at the moment, just doing the page for an hour or two from vacation-land.
Patrick did a great job bringing down the housing market single handedly :-). I remember back in 2005 when a lady in my companies internal message boards said that patrick.net should be ignored as they have been predicting housing crash since 2002. Now that lady must be repenting...
 Anyways coming back to the suggestion: Now that the housing crash is an old story and for all you know we may be entering an era of normalacy when houses cost no more than 3 to 5 times annual income of a buyer, I think patrick should add a new forum here for employer reviews. In this forum you can post things like your experiences working for a company in bay area or for that matter entire US....So we need a new sub-forum added here where people can discuss pros and cons of employers, companies, MNCs etc....
