Wrapped with a bow, ready-made for the “technology-as-a-curse” files is a new site and application from Telonu Inc. that, by the company’s own description, allows current and former employees to “rave, rant and rate your workplace and the people there.”
The firm’s latest additions are its Layoff Tracker Widget and Layoff Talk site to help people keep pace with the job market and stay on top of the latest pink slip announcements amid the recession. The widget lets anyone display as-it-happens layoff announcements on their personal Web site or blog. For each announcement, the Layoff Tracker displays the company, date of announcement and number of affected jobs (Get it? Telonu = tell on you).
