This kind of thing is what has always kept me from using Blind as well.

A site used to talk shit about your current employor that has a registration process that requires you to hand out your work email, and they pinky promise not to ever provide that to anyone?

No thanks, even if they would never do it on purpose, they are one good breach away from it getting out anyway.

Iirc the way that blind works is by verifying you work at a specific company but then that email address cannot be used again.

It's not associated with your specific account.

Someone who worked at blind explained that but there's no way to know this for sure.
