The Best of Employee Evolution 2007
To say the least, 2007 has been an interesting ride for Ryan and I. Our year started on the East Coast, each of us working as entry level employees in Fortune 500 companies, itching to find something bigger and better. Today, the year is ending in the frozen tundra of Madison, Wisconsin, where we’re working as entrepreneurs in a three person startup.
We launched Employee Evolution nine months ago as a fun little side project where we could spew our thoughts about the good and the bad of entry level work to a few dozen people. Now we have over 1,000 subscribers, and we can’t say anything the least bit controversial without someone questioning our characters!
Regardless, the community that has come together around this blog is absolutely amazing. We truly appreciate everyone who has continued to read, subscribe, comment and submit guest posts. I fully expect 2008 be as fun and exciting as 2007 has been and I hope everyone will join us for the journey.
So, without further ado, here is a list of our favorite posts from this past year.

for your authors let me know, I can show you how to put one together.
Hmm, a cool thought… if we were to plot posts on the vertical and authors on the horizontal axis you’d see the site is the long tail of millenial bloggers. A few big posters and the rest are one-timers.
Going through these articles has inspired me to contact a friend who’s starting up a blog. I don’t know if he has a place for me or if I can contribute, but I know I need to do more than I’m doing now and I’d love to develop an “expertise.” I’m tired of wasting away in a cube thinking about what else I could be doing, I need to take action!
