i genuinely cannot believe that people use their real info on these sites. Actually fucking stupid.
According to the article, people generally don't use their real info on this site, but the site is making dubious inferences that allow them to pull the info from other sources to auto-populate the 'real' fields in their site.
That's even worse. I bet there are tons of false positives and people facing consequences at job for bad reviews Glassdoor thinks they wrote.
ah yes, this definitely is legal, and will continue to be legal. I'm sure.
This cannot possibly be legal in Europe.
It is a bit surprising. I must have had at least 8 fake accounts there just to bash one of my ex-employers. Took a whole star off their rating.
I wonder what pushed them to start verifying ID?
damn, i love some good "business fraud"
Pretty sure it would just be lying since you know, no financial gain. Except it isn't even full lying since I did tell the truth about the company. I admit I might have gone a bit over the top when they announced that they bought another company and I tracked down every employee of that company to write them an email detailing exactly how they would be gutted with references to other companies that had been bought up and suffered the same fate by the same new parent company. Then of course found out they still had a fax number and sent them a fax. Had to make sure IT didn't try to hide it.
Maybe don't buy a small engineering/manufacturing company, outsource it all to China, and and all the while slash R&D + personal and you won't have people over a decade later still bashing you on Glassdoor.
im sure the business higher ups would have something to say about it, frankly i was just shitposting.
It's in quotes for a reason lol.
Ah, it was manufacturing, you know what, totally justified, who cares. this is moral.
I do know where the CEO who sold us out for tens of millions of dollars lives. Think I should drive over and discuss the matter with him?
perhaps deliver him a spicy bottle. Although for legal reasons. This statement is merely a reflection of modern satirical humor, and is commentating on the modern socio-political climate.
