Yeah this happened at my old employer. They got one bad (warranted) review and told everyone to get on their phones (off the company network) to give good reviews.
They'd push this initiative occasionally.
I reported it to Glassdoor and they never did anything about it.
- gtirloni 8y agoFor Glassdoor, it's your word against that of whoever wrote the positive/fake review you're complaining about. It's a tie unless there are some signals they could use to infer that your complaint is more legit than that positive review.
- thisisweirdok 8y agoYeah I get that. In retrospect I should have forwarded the emails to Glassdoor directly.
- iamdave 8y agoThey'd push this initiative occasionally. I wonder if anyone has any experience in flat out refusing to participate in this sort of thing. I did it once, but was already on my way out the door/in my two week notice period and HR would ask me once a day, every day for almost two weeks to write a review before I left. I say "almost two weeks" because I finally told the HR person that I would be talking to the local workforce commission if they came to my desk one more time and asked me to write a review.
- thisisweirdok 8y agoI never participated. They had no way to enforce it without being really creepy. Younger employees always did it, a lot of people generally felt like they weren't doing their job if they said no.
- ben509 8y agoJust do it and write, "Cons: we're pressured to leave positive reviews here."
- griffinkelly 8y agoSame behavior at my old employer. Its funny, every time you see one negative review on GD, you'll then see 15 consecutive positive ones
