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 kind of OOTL. What's wrong with GlassDoor?

It's in the title. And the article.

The title is misleading and it seems as though nobody actually read the article. Your name is not being posted with your reviews.

But they will add your name to your profile without your consent, and then in the future they could easily share your identity and there would be nothing you could do about it.

Particularly for employees who fear retaliation for reviews, Mackey said that Glassdoor users could historically choose never to share their real names, and the company now storing names for all users makes it much more likely that users could be linked to their reviews should Glassdoor's data ever be subpoenaed or leaked. That's what had Monica so concerned, too.

It's a valid concern. The whole premise of the site kind of demands anonymity.

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