It also asks me to use the app.
I’m just getting into the work force and was trying to look up the company where I was thinking of applying, but it said I needed to sign in to view the review, so I entered some fake information. Once I was signed in I went back to the page thinking I could read the review, but now I need to write a review before I get access to Glassdoor! And I can’t do that because I don’t have any prior paid work experience!
Glassdoor officially became dead to me last year, when they made everything “opt out” in terms of privacy. It made the rounds and I know they lost a good chunk of reviewers. With this it makes sense, engagement is probably low and they’re desperate to bring numbers up.
Screw them, they became company focused instead of user focused, there’s zero reason to give them reviews anymore. Companies can pay to remove reviews, they are not as private, there’s no reason.
They also have some fun policies like allowing employers to pay to moderate their reviews. So yeah, they’re the Yelp of employer reviews these days
I deleted my account when I discovered that bullshit. LinkedIn’s new opt-out AI data gobbling has me this close to deleting that account too.
Edit: Fuck it, I just saw Ars’ article with LinkedIn’s response. Bye bye LinkedIn account.
I did the best thing possible very early on in my adult life; created a LinkedIn account, and didn’t post/comment a goddamn thing.
