Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why was WorkWorries.com launched?
Difficult people at work such as bad bosses, difficult co-workers and problem employees constitute a wide-spread and costly problem. Our purpose is to help people and companies protect themselves against difficult people at work by providing constructive, balanced and pragmatic news and resources and by providing a discussion forum where they can safely raise questions, discuss issues and get input from others. WorkWorries.comis not a showcase for inappropriate or unethical tactics for revenge. It's not a place to make specific comments about people or organizations. It's not a site for bitching and whining, and inappropriate humor. It's not for people who won't accept their responsibility to analyze and understand their current situation and to develop a plan to improve it. Overall, this site can help reduce the costs of difficult people borne by the people who work for them, their companies and shareholders.
Are there any direct or indirect fees associated with WorkWorries.com?
None whatsoever and no fee-based premium user services are available.
Since WorkWorries.com is free, what are your sources of revenue?
We may receive some limited affiliate sales commissions (e.g., from the sale
of books listed on our site through Amazon.com) or from visitors clicking on
text ads. In view of WorkWorries.com"S contributions to employees and
businesses, we are asking corporations to participate in our
sponsorship program. No other commissions
or compensation of any kind, direct or indirect, for posting any News or
Resources material is received.
Is this site for managers?
It is definitely for managers, senior executives and boards. All the site's
contents are made available to leaders at public-sector organizations and
corporations and their shareholders in the spirit of respect and will no doubt be improved by content suggestions from bosses themselves, employees and the academic community. We particularly encourage Human Resources executives, in their positions of
leverage, to consider these materials in their corporate strategic planning, value setting, performance appraisal planning etc.
What is a Vault, and how it can be used?
Our Vault function is a secure repository for any material
that you want to "bookmark" for fast future reference. You can also add your own
notes and comments for each stored item. Use is simple because each item has its own
Vault link. Clicking on the
link opens up the Vault window and the title of the material is already
inserted. The list of items in your vault is stored on our server, so your vault
is available from wherever you access WorkWorries.com. Registration is required
in order store items in the vault.
Why should I register and how long does it take?
Registration has several benefits.
With your registration not only do you help to build the online community, you
receive a secure and confidential identity so you'll also be able to participate
in the discussion forum and hear directly back
from others in response to your comments, needs and questions while maintaining
your confidentiality. Another key reason to register is to use
our Vault service which allows you to store all the material that you need
along with your own personal notes for quick future reference. So regardless of
which computer you are using, by logging into the site with your login name and
password, you can access your own secure repository of News and Resource links
along with your comments. Registration itself takes
just 20 seconds, and only your login name will be visible to other users of the site.
If I register, how secure is my email address?
This site is operated by web and database servers stored securely within an ISO
9001:2000 registered facility. All user-specific information in our
databases is encrypted, and the servers themselves are protected from intrusion
by monitored firewalls and security lockdown procedures. While we take every
reasonable precaution to protect our users' information, we cannot be held
liable for any misuse or offence that you may suffer due to your use of this
site.
What exactly is RSS, and how do I go about setting it up?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a way to view a summary of the latest
content from all your favorite web sites without having to go to each site. An
RSS "News Reader" periodically checks your favorite "RSS Feeds" and presents
them to you with links to the original articles. Thousands of web sites already
syndicate their content via RSS, and more are jumping on the bandwagon every
day. There are dozens of different news readers to choose from, or you can use a
web based news reader such as
BlogLines. You can
usually recognize an RSS feed on a web site by a link or small button labelled
RSS or XML. For more information on RSS, take a look at
Lockergnome's RSS Quickstart Guide.
To start using WorkWorries.com's RSS news feed, simply copy the following
URL: http://www.workworries.com/rss/
and paste it into your RSS news reader.
