Comment on Users ditch Glassdoor, stunned by site adding real names without consent

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.

The EFF regularly defends Glassdoor users from being unmasked by retaliating employers. 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.

  Not disputing that it’s a concern at all, and the way they went about it is super shady. It’s just that the implication in the headline is so so much worse than that.

When has anyone ever read the article? Even the author doesn’t bother anymore, it’s all about headlines baby.

But thank you for running around the comments trying to correct this literal ball of misinformation.
