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.
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.
