I went in to delete mine. Was forced to put in my real name and current employer without any way to opt out. So for a short brilliant moment I was Bobo Bobolicious of Bob’s Boat Oars
Glassdoor is in my top 10 least favorite companies of all time, right behind Nestle and Big Oil, scoring an overwhelmingly negative opinion by me, meaning that I wish they would crash and burn and I’d be willing to sabotage this sh*thole company wherever possible.
This business is everything wrong with 21st century tech companies. They do nothing good and everything bad. They hide information from the public by forcing an account. You cannot bypass by using uBlock origin’s features. When you make the account, they force you to give them literally all of your personal information with zero way to stop them from selling it to hundreds of shady data brokers despite them telling you that you can opt out.
Unfortunately, they got me. I really really wanted to find the salary of a job, and I was forced to make an account. I got irrationally angry, and gave them EVERYTHING, including all cookies. Now they got the loot, I got nothing other than a thousand eyes prying on me.
The door is certainly glass on the bathroom stalls but made of hard steel to reach what should be a library.
They also force you to input your current job and wage, despite the fact, that maybe you’re the only person with that job title, so a company would know exactly who reported the wage/review.
I was under the impression they only show bands when the number of people with the same title is low
I created my Glassdoor account about ten years ago. The only information they required at the time was an email address
An email address is usually also directly linked to your identity… I wish more companies would not require it to signup… I do have throwaways and email accounts created using Tor though.
That’s the way, at least here in Wakanda.

first time I hear about that, obviously it needs to be a real thing.
Just created an accound to see a company recruting me, lied I was a studeng to not have to enter anything
Substitute with “-” or “xyz” if forced. They should know you don’t want to provide that data.
My company blames me when people fill out forms with junk data just to get to what was already a public link, then I have to go in the CRM every morning and delete a dozen “your moms” and “nunyas”.
I filled the form Reddit sent me for their IPO with junk data. I hope many other people will do the same.
Dirty fuckers.
Lots of accounts ask for name and other proof. Credit cards, id, etc.
Sadly it’s the norm now.
laws need to be created for making this illegal, unless it is absolutely required for providing you the service.
Do you have any FOSS oars?
