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.

      Maybe next time, call the company and ask? Worst they can do is say no, not steal all your personal details.

        Except the person in the linked article contacted Glassdoor and Glassdoor added the name they gave support to their account.

        So, worst they can do is dox you and make things worse. But go off.
