Why we are more vocal about loo rolls than our jobs

Why we are more vocal about loo rolls than our jobs: "Nothing is too basic to be written about, not even postage stamps. “Ocado puts them in a neat little envelope so they don’t get lost in your shopping,” writes one customer, while another tries something more humorous: “I have used this product before but disappointed that they failed to work when stuck on to an email.”
While people feel compelled to write reviews of everyday items, they are more reticent when it comes to doing something that would be far more useful – reviewing their jobs. Indeed nearly twice as many people have written about Waitrose Essential Toilet Tissue on the Ocado site as have gone on Glassdoor – which is to jobs what TripAdvisor is to holidays – and told us what it is like working at Ocado.
This is a shame – and a puzzle. The experiences of current and former employees should be the single most important thing to consider when choosing a company to work for. But despite the constant prompts the website gives to leave reviews, only a tiny proportion of employees at big companies seem to want to tell the world anything about their jobs at all."
