We decided to break the rules. As a company we continue to build the workplace of the future and push the boundaries of career expectations. Our AI-based career development platform matches users with personalized open career opportunities in real time while they remain completely anonymous.

We’ve built the unfair advantage for secretly advancing your career.

We’ve all been told it’s not polite to gloat, but we’ve also been told that we need to work for the majority of our lives in a nine to five, possibly in a gray cubical. Us millennials, now the largest generation in the American workforce, are changing the rules and forging a brighter future of work.

Workey, with its mission of empowering individuals to gain greater control and visibility over their own careers through the power of AI and big data, has always been fighting for that brighter future of work and will continue to do so as Gloat.

As the company has evolved from a dream, to a startup, and now to an international company, we took on a new attitude as we stepped back and reveled in our accomplishments a bit.

Watch me!

We’re the feisty masterminds behind the app that lets you receive and evaluate offers without your boss being able to find out. We find ourselves undeniably spicy in our mission and decided to have our name reflect that. We’re telling our talented users to go ahead and gloat! You shouldn’t feel bad about enjoying your accomplishments and you shouldn’t have to act like you’re not as in demand as you are.

Succeed wildly, gloat privately.

Don’t worry, we know we aren’t perfect and we hate humble-bragging as much as you do. That’s why we’d rather gloat!

In a cold world full of faster, better, stronger, we’re saying you’re already pretty f***ing awesome! And it’s okay to gloat about it. If you’re still paying your dues at a huge company or Head of Product at your own startup, you have something to be proud of.

Don’t forget to celebrate your success and to find joy in it.

After all, there are few better feelings in this life than the feeling you get when you’ve worked hard and won.

We’ve evolved as a company and as a product beyond our cutesy name and have grown to an international scale that requires a fresh attitude.

Gloat is taking on the biggest issues of the millennial generation in the workforce. We realized we were simply glowing with the lust to gloat. That’s when we realized that we stand for all the things we’ve been told we can’t do by previous generations.

We chose Gloat because it is the epitome of breaking the rules — it’s the essence of what we’ve been told by our parents’ generation we cannot have out of our work-lives and careers.

We’ve been told “you can’t have it all — you have to work a 9 to 5, wear a suit to work, and keep your head down as you slowly work your way up the corporate ladder for 40 years…” — but we say don’t settle! Never stop looking for that dream opportunity because it’s really out there — and if you have the raw talent, work hard enough, and possibly most importantly make smart career decisions — you can actually have it all.

You can have your cake and eat it too. You can have your dream job and wear whatever you want while you do it!

The realities of the tech industry today are something almost beyond the comprehension of our grandparents’ generation, so why are so many people still making their career decisions the way their grandparents did? And why are we still defining success they way they did?

Gloat is here to arm you with the tools and data-driven insights necessary to make the best career moves in the twenty-first century tech world — a world in which success is defined in your own terms.

Gloat is so much more than a brand or a platform, Gloat is an attitude and the mindset of saying :

I want success on my own terms and I want to celebrate it.

I refuse to feel guilty about kicking ass.

We believe that you can have the career of your dreams and you don’t have to compromise or apologize for it — whatever your definition of success is.

We believe that you can have it all — on your own terms.

So don’t settle for less than you’re worth, let our AI make your career decisions smarter.

Go ahead & gloat when…

You have a career, not just a paycheck. You laugh at work. It takes you 12 min to commute to work. You’re paid to do what you love. Whatever you call success — make it happen with Gloat. ;)
