earnest reviews of their employers (which is literally the core of their business
I don’t understand the need for a site like this. I just assume that my employer is going to suck in standard corporate suck fashion.
Comment on Users ditch Glassdoor, stunned by site adding real names without consent

Exactly how do Glassdoor expect people to give earnest reviews of their employers (which is literally the core of their business) if those people can't trust Glassdoor to not to throw them under the bus when they give honest reviews of malicious employers?
Talk about sabotaging your own business model - idiots.

There are levels to that suck though

And sometimes it’s not just corporate suck. I’ve literally had the CIO of a construction contractor berate me on the phone before I had started. Needless to say I didn’t take their offer

Name and shame. And publish your real name while you’re at it.

Same. Got screamed at before the interview. don’t know why I even bothered going, maybe just curious how fucked up the place would be.
Left them a bad Google maps review which was kinda fun since they had zero reviews before I left one. They left a screaming reply to it hahah

There’s the normal suck, then there’s “I (been there 12 years) got passed up for promotion to replace my boss who retired because the owner’s nephew who worked with us for a few years (sucked and “volentarely” left 6 years ago) decided their cyptoscheme wasn’t working out and needed a job, and that was the highest one paying one avalible.”
Or the "Sally got verably harassed dailiy and they did nothing because the harrasser has been there 30 years. ‘He’s just an old man in his early 50s, older gentlemen call ladies nicknames like sweetcakes, honey, or cutie all the time.’ "

Ok, but if your expectations are permanent nerfed you’re gonna be a much easier mark… Plus tacit acceptance of a shitty status quo is pretty self-defeating.

Thank you for saying this.
I don’t get how so many people are so willing to just pull down their pants and bend over, instead of pushing back.

I’ve had a couple of good jobs where I was treated well and compensated well all around. Companies like that would be glad to have reviews from happy employees visible to the public on a trustworthy review site.

Some are much more capable of disguising it during the interview process.
In the tech industry around the pandemic there was the great resignation and companies were tripping over themselves to employ as many people as possible. It was great then because you had so many options and they were all seemingly similar job descriptions.
Now the site is shitty and getting a job is terrible. Woo capitalism!

Frankly I never trusted Glassdoor. I assume most reviews are made by the companies HR department to lie about how great it is. I just need to look at the reviews of the companies I’ve worked for to see that it’s 99% bullshit.
Don’t trust employers. They lie to you and underpay you.

That’s why you only read the negative reviews

It has its uses. And one bad employer can really mess you up for a while. It takes a lot of effort to have a low score on that site.

The anonymity was the whole point to that site.
