Comment on Users ditch Glassdoor, stunned by site adding real names without consent
criitz@reddthat.com 7 months agoBut 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.
