Glassdoor reviews: their commitment to anonymity.Ī primary purpose of Glassdoor is to give job seekers insight into what it’s really like working at a company. It’s also possible that you, as an employer, or the employee’s colleagues might be able to identify who said what without the aid of Glassdoor. In some circumstances, Glassdoor may be required to reveal the identity of the person posting the review. They can express their opinion of their employer, it’s widely read, and best of all, the reviewer can stay anonymous, right? Well, not so fast. The answer for many current and former employees is Glassdoor. Of course, disgruntled people often feel like they just have to say something about their employer, but where to say it? Complaining at the shop or office falls on deaf ears, or worse, could get them in hot water with management. Maybe the unhappy employee recently left the company, citing one of those reasons. You know: the ones where they think the boss is awful, their co-workers are difficult, and the work is impossible. You might have a team member who’s had one of those days, weeks-even years.
