Yelp for People – Starting Today
Do you remember that woman was going to start an online service where you rate your friends a la Yelp restaurant reviews? There was a big public outcry and I don’t think it ever started.
So I’m starting it today.
And here is the first review.
My Co-Worker Marcy. Zero stars. (Imagine there’s a little logo here with zero stars filled in, I don’t know how to make that kind of thing.)
That’s right, I am giving absolutely zero stars to this person. Everybody deserves to know what a tooth ache she is. She walks around the office like a little rain cloud. Everything she says is in nasal tone of derision and downer-ness. When I see her coming toward my cubicle my heart sinks.
One time, she called a compulsory meeting and I told her that I would not be able to make it because I had a surgery scheduled. She looked at me and she said “It’s a compulsory meeting. If you don’t come, you will have your pay docked.”
“Maybe you didn’t hear me,” I said to her. “I’m having sur – jur—eeee. On my face. I might die.”
“You’re not going to die,” she said. “And anyhow, even if you do die, it’s a mandatory meeting.”
So what did I do? Did I contact the higher ups? Did I file a labor law suit? I mean this is an obvious violation of labor law, isn’t it? I don’t know.
I rescheduled the surgery. How hard was that? I guess it wasn’t that hard. But really, did she have to be such a tooth ache about it?
Zero stars, Marcy. Cause that’s the worst thing, but you’ve done about a hundred other unpleasant things.
And finally you can be punished for them.
On Yelp for friends, co-workers and ex-lovers.
Starting now.
Feel free to contribute your own review below about the horrible people you know. Or, I suppose you could put in a positive review about nice people you know, but I doubt anybody will read those. This is going to be pretty much a site where the zero stars rise to the top.
