Venting about work can be very therapeutic, but it can also be a dangerous habit-forming addiction. Rehearsing anger is not only bad for your career, it is bad for life. However, on occasion, there is nothing like anonymously releasing your work frustrations. There are certainly no shortage of Web sites that allow you to rant about your boss or expose your co-workers annoying behavior.
