職場匿名吐槽應用：不爽就要說出來

Are you not at ease at your workplace as your co-worker's attitude bothers you a lot? Then an app can actually help you to get rid of this problem all at once. You can just vent out your anger with the help of this app and your co-worker will not be able to come to know that it's you who has just ranted the feelings.

公司同事的態度是否使你壓力山大，讓身處職場的你感到萬分不自在？一款手機應用程序可以將你的煩惱一掃而空。你可以利用這款程序盡情宣泄你的不滿，而你的同事卻無法得知那個瘋狂吐槽的人是你。

The messaging app is called Memo and it has been developed by Ryan Janssen from a company, Collectively. The app is aimed at working professionals only. Users first need to verify their affiliation with a company through their LinkedIn profile or office email ID. Then the memo boards can be used on the app by the companies. Users can post whatever they wish on the company group, without mentioning their name.

這款信息交流程序叫做“備忘錄”（Memo），由Collectively公司的瑞安?楊森（Ryan Janssen)研發，目標用戶是上班族群體。用戶首先需通過領英（LinkedIn）個人資料或公司個人郵件賬號驗證其所屬的公司。通過認證后就能夠使 用Memo的公司備忘板。用戶可以以匿名的方式在本公司的小組群中發布任何想說的內容。

The posts can be shared in public too but only the company where the user is working can check the posts. Janssen has admitted that the app has seen some negative feedback from some companies but the overall response is good enough. The app's privacy policy doesn't ensure that the user will not be identified anyhow but it cautions users “Don't be mean”. Memo app can be downloaded from the Apple app store.

發布的消息也可以公開分享，不過只有發布者所在公司的員工才能查看。楊森承認這款程序已經招來一些公司的負面評價，但是總體反響很好。雖然程序的隱私保護措施不能完全保證用戶不會被認出來，但是它有告誡用戶“不要太刻薄”。這款應用可以從蘋果的App Store上下載。

The app is between the likes of Secret and Slack and it gives its users the power to make a company better by giving their valuable feedback. The app enables users to speak freely about the workplace anonymously. That's why several employers have pushed back the app for quite obvious reasons. Companies are not very likely to tolerate such an app for long time which allows employees taunt other employees with some malicious posts.

該款應用有點像“秘密”（Secret）和“偷閑”（Slack）這兩款應用的結合體。它給用戶為公司建言獻策提供了一個平臺。用戶可以通過它暢所欲言，談 自己對工作場所的想法。這也很好地解釋了為什么一些雇主對這款應用冷眼以待。這樣一款允許員工通過惡意發帖嘲諷同事的應用很難得到公司長期的包容。
