( CNN ) -- With so many means for guests to leave feedback on hotels worldwide , it 's easy to take those opportunities for granted . But what would workers in the hospitality industry say if they were asked to comment on their employers ? We 'll soon find out , thanks to a new Tumblr page that lets hotel employees share stories of demanding bosses , long shifts and finicky guests . The inspiration for `` Joey Quits '' comes from a likely source : Joey DeFrancesco , who became a viral video sensation and working-class hero in October for posting a YouTube video of him resigning from his hotel job accompanied by a marching band . With more than 2.8 million views in just over a month , the YouTube video generated more than 4,000 comments and even more e-mails , Facebook messages and cell phone texts , DeFrancesco said . Much of the response came from current and former hotel workers who said they related to DeFrancesco 's complaints of struggles with management . `` We did not expect to get all this attention . But when we did , we knew we had to do something with it , '' the 23-year-old Rhode Islander said . Websites such as Hotel Workers Rising are backed by unions and address conditions from a labor standpoint . But `` Joey Quits '' appears to be one of few forums dedicated exclusively to letting individuals air grievances . The site 's masthead bears a screen grab from the YouTube video of DeFrancesco 's triumphant face next to messages in Spanish and English urging users to submit stories about their hotel workplace . `` Inspired by the success of the 'Joey Quits ' video and responses to it from other hotel workers , we created this site to collect stories about unjust working conditions in the hotel industry , '' the site says , also in Spanish and English . The feed , which launched this week , had 10 entries as of Tuesday morning , including videos of DeFrancesco and other former employees of the Renaissance Providence , the site of DeFrancesco 's famous resignation . The rest are anonymous or come from users claiming to be former hotel industry employees . CNN could not verify their claims . The goal is not to encourage boycotts of the accused hotels but to hold them accountable by raising awareness of undesirable conditions , hopefully paving the way to stronger labor laws , DeFrancesco said . `` The site is intended for workers so they can read it and know they 're not alone , that others are experiencing the same things as them , creating a sense of working-class identity and hotel worker identity that 's crucial to transforming the industry and forming unions , '' he said . `` The other audience is the public that 's visiting the hotels , so they know how bad conditions are and let their disapproval be known with their wallets until things change .
