New Website Brings Social Networking Into the Compensation Puzzle
Have you every wondered what the worker in the cubicle next to you is making? Are you getting a fair deal?
Although you will never really know for sure if you are being treated fairly or not, the website glassdoor.com allows workers to review their employer and share their compensation package with others.
The site initially focused on Silicon Valley employers, so you can quickly see if working at Google or Yahoo! is as exciting as everyone thinks it is.
To get the full scoop of what your colleagues have entered, you must agree to post a review and/or a compensation figure. The site promises that all posts are anonymous and that membership is free.
I did a quick scan for my employer, without entering any information, and could only view a limited number of comments. Of course, there was a mix of both positive and negative feedback.
One potential use of the site is to view comments for a potential new employer to see if folks are generally content with working there.
