I am definitely in favour of this idea! I'll even maintain the list
and send it out to anybody that wants it. I think this would be a
valuable resource - more than than a list of awful places to work.
One thing about working in a rotten environment - when you go someplace
decent,
you're fully equipped to appreciated it.
Oh, and thanks to everyone who commented on my original dilemma! FWIW, I
feel a lot
better knowing that 1) I'm not the only person that had to do this, and 2)
acting
professionally and expecting the candidates to do the same is about all you
can do.
Cheers!
Candace
