Do you think your boss is a moron? Having an office fling? Former office drone creates a way for you to anonymously confess your work-related sins.

July 1, 2009

Seven years ago, RS was a dissatisfied office drone stuck in her cubicle, when she compared her work life to being trapped in a "cubic hell." Fast forward to spring 2009, RS is still a dissatisfied office drone, albeit with a larger cell and a better view. Then her pun of seven years prior came back to her: "I'm still stuck in cubic hell!!" She decided to quit her job and develop a website for dissatisfied and disgruntled workers to anonymously post their work-related confessions.

Armed with a creative concept and a desire to leave corporate drudgery behind, RS quit her job May 2009, and launched Cubic-Hell.com one month later, in June 2009. Her goal was to build a virtual water cooler for the working man and woman to let out their work-related frustrations.

Her website is bold and clean with a logo remniscent of writing on a cell wall and an over turned coffee cup that suggests one spilling "the beans." Interactive features include: a weekly work-related poll, an RSS feed and convenient shopping portals to popular retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy. Visitors can confess, read, vote for and share confessions via multiple social networks, including Facebook, Twitter and StumbleUpon.

The internet site opened June 2009 to the delight of friends and former co-workers. She promoted the site through her personal Facebook profile, as well as the Cubic-Hell fanpage and Twitter account. Now, one month later, Cubic-Hell.com is attracting visitors from all over the world.

Her advice to anyone who is thinking of engaging in office gossip or watercooler banter: save your job and your reputation. Let it out anonymously at Cubic-Hell.com. There's also a lot of great content that is sure to bring a smile to your face and some comfort to your soul.
