A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Doesn't that kind of erode their entire premise as a company?
They already did that. They companies the tools to remove negative reviews. Glassdoor has not been much different from BBB for some time (if not all time).
Not exactly. It's concerning, for sure, but they're not actually displaying your name in association with your review. It's only stored alongside your account. They seem to be claiming that the purpose is to ensure people aren't providing fake reviews.
There's no reason they should have the info and so long as they do it's possible actors with contrary interests to users (governments, employers, third parties...) can access it.
