*WorkCarousel
A social network about work · for working people, any job

Work, told honestly*

*The brief that went wrong. The client who ghosted. The shift that fell apart. The small win nobody else would clap for.

Noted. We'll email you once, when the app is live — and never otherwise.

Coming to the App Store. One email at launch, nothing else.

Rebuilt the schedule three times this week because two caregivers are out, and I still don't know if Sunday nights are covered. Posting this instead of pretending it's fine.

Backed a 53-foot trailer into the tightest dock in Toledo on the first try. Nobody was watching. You're watching now.

Month-end landed on a federal holiday again. How are other payroll teams handling the early processing run without burning the whole Thursday?

* This is The Floor — the main feed. No like button. Reactions are Felt that, Bold, Same and Applause.

Say what it was actually like*

Other networks are where people perform work. WorkCarousel is where they tell the truth about it — caregivers, truckers, payroll clerks, teachers, kitchens, trades, offices. Any job.

Five formats

Every post picks one. The format tells the room how to read it before a word lands.

  • Hot Take
  • Small Win
  • Confession
  • Open Question
  • Show & Tell

Six moods

Every post carries one. Mood and format are mandatory — that's the whole mechanism.

  • Fired up
  • Curious
  • Proud
  • Drained
  • Unhinged
  • Grateful

*Photos, video up to three minutes, polls, and a daily prompt that travels with your answer. And no like button anywhere — you respond with Felt that, Bold, Same or Applause, or you say something.

Your career is rooms of people who were there*

On WorkCarousel a career history stops being a list. Every chapter of it — every job, school, camp and volunteer stint — opens onto everyone who shared it. We call each of those rooms a Cohort, and they form on their own. A network nobody has to build by adding strangers.

Five kinds of chapter

  • Job
  • School
  • Volunteer
  • Organization
  • Camp

Months are optional everywhere — "sometime in the nineties" is a perfectly good answer.

A shelf of real work

Keep the things you actually made, credit the people who made them with you, and pin three to your profile. Linked podcast episodes play right inside the app.

Find people by what they did

Search by organization, role, skill, and place — with counts that cross-filter, so "electricians, Phoenix, solar" narrows as you type it.

The words we use*

Six of them do most of the work.

The Floor
The main feed. Where the day's honesty lands.
A Cohort
An alumni room, formed automatically from one chapter of a career. The people who were actually there.
The Jury
Moderation by the community: when a post is reported, the room votes.
A Water Cooler
A group conversation — three or more people, off The Floor.
The Review Room
Where reported posts wait for the moderators.
Quiet mode
The paid tier. Pay yearly, see no placements at all.

Your résumé never leaves your phone*

Hand the app a résumé PDF and it will read the chapters out of it — but the parse happens entirely on your device. The file is never uploaded, to us or to anyone. And every row it guesses arrives switched off, waiting for a human yes.

  • Nothing plays behind your back. A podcast episode on someone's shelf makes no request to YouTube or Spotify until you press play. Scrolling past costs you nothing.
  • Location is never tracked. If you choose to tag a place, it's a one-shot reading at roughly 2-mile accuracy — then the app forgets where you are.
  • Sensitive content is opt-in. You decide what The Floor is allowed to show you.
  • Moderation belongs to the room. Reported posts go to the Review Room, and the Jury — the community — votes.

Companies join on the members' terms*

A company claims its page by verifying a work email domain. Then it gets branding, messaging, and a hiring notice that is required to expire — no zombie job ads.

  • The roster comes from members' own career paths. A company can order it and feature people on it — it can never invent it.
  • Featuring someone's work asks that person first. Every time.
  • Hiring notices carry a compulsory expiration date.
