I bet it's pretty safe that many of us who have been on CF-Jobs for 
several years have worked for, or attempted to work for, various 
companies that use the CF-Jobs list to post openings.  I bet some of us 
have had some bad experiences with these employers.

I'm wondering what the protocol might be for posting about such 
experiences.  The purpose would be to inform job-seekers that a recent 
employment post should be considered with extreme caution, due to how we 
were treated either in our employment there... or while attempting to 
gain employment (such as poor interview practices).

I've thought about trying to setup a site specifically for job seekers 
to post about bad experiences, but I concluded that it would be a 
fulltime job trying to separate fact from fiction and trying to figure 
out who was just posting because they fired for being incompetent, and 
who was fired or left because the employer was the jerk.

During my years on this list, THE worst job I've ever had came from a 
posting to this list.  Not long after I left, I have seen that job 
re-posted.  I wanted VERY badly to respond publically, and inform the 
list about this employer, and how this employer treated their people. 
Instead, I bit my tongue and said nothing.  Yet I still feel like I did 
a disservice to ColdFusion developers everywhere by not speaking up. 
Shouldn't we all help watch out for one another?

Any thoughts on the matter?

Rob
