    Unsatisfied with merely shooting themselves in the foot, glassdoor has had the foot surgically removed

      I mean, they were a data gathering company from day 1. This is just the nail in the coffin on them unable to sustain a business model that was basically “let companies pay to write reviews to counteract actual reviews”

    Act fast: For a limited time, only $99/year to keep yourself anonymous and out of the crosshairs of disgruntled ex-employers. Then prices shoot up to whatever the fuck we want, because we know you’ll pay!

      I’m a permanent EU resident who was not at the time I left a glass door review. Anyone know if the GDPR would apply?

      They added real names without consent. No further action required. Opens people to litigation from petty former companies with too much money (generally the ones that need those reviews).

      It’s literally all in the article…

      They’re de-anonymizing all accounts so I hope you’re okay with your reviews having your real name. Whether you have Glassdoor your name or not - Fishbowl using data lists to fill your data regardless of your consent.

        I was five minutes away from clocking out for the day, so I couldn’t be arsed to read the article before getting up. Lol. Serves me right for being lazy, I guess. :)

          Sorry just meant there is no prior knowledge required. It’s not an ongoing issue of enshittification or anything. Just a sudden leap forward, or rather Dump/Plop…
