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!
I remember back in 2017, talking to the director of marketing at the company I was at at the time, and she was telling me about how she spent all day getting bad reviews removed from Glassdoor. I didn’t use it much before that, but I haven’t visited the site once since then.
Years ago I left a shitty call center job and left a scathing review on glassdoor. About a year later I started getting hammered with requests for clarification or to remove the review entirely. I ignored them all, and never bothered to look back. It’s still up, but the company I worked for sold itself to some other shitty overlord that also had terrible employer reviews.
Can you share details of the conversation? It’s not that I don’t believe, but I hear this sort of thing all the time about sites like this and Yelp. Did she talk about what sort of criteria they use to remove reviews? Like, I assume (hope) it isn’t as straightforward as “I dislike this review, remove it.”
It would be helpful to know so that we can try to avoid those things when we do write reviews on sites like Glassdoor and others.
