If you have been contemplating whether to throw your hat into the ring and jump into the arena of the modern 21st century business world, the fact of the matter is that there is no better time to do so than now. You can join the technological revolution that has completely reshaped and revitalized the world of business, and you can make a heck of a lot of money in the process. You’re already on the web with your email and social media accounts, so why not add your own business to your list of daily Internet connections?

It’s hard to find someone that has a boss they like (unless they work at Valve of course). While there is, of course, the “Breakfast Club” theory that states that there is always more than meets the eye to a person, and that your superior’s unpleasantness is most likely due to outside greater stresses (i.e. their boss), there are still occasions when they truly are being a horrible boss, and generally a bad person to boot.

At times like that you really want to live out the ultimate employee fantasy and tell your boss what you really think. Of course the prospect of the verbal thrashing of a lifetime followed by a stint on the unemployment line is enough to ward off most, but occasionally the urge is too great to resist.

The new website Tell Your Boss Anything knows this and wants to do something about it. For a $20 a month fee, you can subscribe to the service which allows you to send a secure message to your boss from your personal e-mail (and hopefully receive a reply back). The point of the service is to send actual constructive messages to your employers, and as such the site reserves the right to refuse your message if it is exceedingly vulgar (though these cases are apparently surprisingly rare). Even more encouraging are the results, as the site’s creator say that they are getting a high number of cases coming back marked as either “improved” or “resolved”, although exact numbers are not available.

So what do you think? Do you dare live out the American dream and tell off your boss even under a supposed airtight veil of secrecy?
