Good way to get yourself blackballed from the industry if you give a bad complaint from previous employer.
Comment on Users ditch Glassdoor, stunned by site adding real names without consent

That’s a fantastically efficient way to destroy their business. There’s no way to get honest reviews of employers from employees who know their identities will be exposed whether they consent or not. Doesn’t even matter if the review is after leaving that job, future employers can go nosing too.
Absolute techbro-brane gold.

A former employer actually did send lawyers after me for a bad Glassdoor review. The dumb thing is that it wasn’t even my review.
This is beyond stupid.

Welcome to the point of the change. Kill off the liabilty & associated damages.

I expect their logic is their review “curation” racket is a sideshow and the real money is selling information to agencies and sales companies.

This is what happens right before the major money holders abandon ship. There’s no way they don’t know this is business-suicide. I bet they got a big payday from some companies that paid Glassdoor to shoot itself in the face!

Yep, we’ve seen this happen over and over before

Imagine if a fediverse version of Glassdoor would appear after this

i don’t really see a point in federating employment reviews, but there certainly needs to be a non profit providing such a service

Maybe a start would be a forum for employer reviews

I’m normally not a conspiracy dude, but this just fucking SCREAMS sabotage to me.

This screams liability and damages avoidance to me.
