I don't really hate people. I'd really be in the wrong business as an employment lawyer if I did.
But "I hate people" is the name of a terrific blog I recently learned about. Its full name is I hate people ... but it's nothing personal: Office jujitsu for outsmarting the corporate oafs. (Why isn't it oaves? We don't buy loafs of bread, do we?) Jonathan Littman and Marc Hershorn cleverly cover the workplace, standing up for common sense and trying to prevent office people from turning into what they call sheeple.
Read their recent take on corporate reviewing of employees' social-media traffic in "Face(book) Off." And in "Brand Hate: Domino's Pizza YouTube video scandal," Jonathan digs deeper to get at the root of an embarrassing corporate exposure. Their analysis of workplace issues is rooted in a philosophy that's similar to ours: disgruntled employees cause problems, so try to keep them gruntled.
Jonathan and Marc have a book coming out in a couple weeks. I'm looking forward to reading it. In the meantime, head on over to I hate people and start sharing the hate.
