I have worked for a large company that told employees to go write 5* positive reviews on GD. I suspect it is a common practice.
this just provides GD to turn into a Yelp of sorts that can do the 'reputation management' on the side.
Sigh, I have come to believe that its impossible for the profit motive companies to stay neutral in long term, esp if thats their main revenue source.
I wonder if there is a publicly funded entity that is also responsible for public good that can & should run something like this. but then if widely adopted that has a high probability of turning into china/black-mirror style reputation system.
- TeeWEE 6y agoIts ok for companies to ask their employees to leave reviews at glassdoor right?
- fl0wenol 6y agoNo, it isn't. That's really scummy.
- ivanche 6y agoWell... Asking employees to leave reviews isn't scummy. On the oter hand, asking them to leave _only 5* reviews_ is scummy.
- Nuzzerino 6y agoI don't know. If someone is still employed at that location, presumably a higher percentage can implicitly be expected to vote 5* compared to the average former employee. It's similar to the controversy over mailing ballots to specific neighborhoods based on demographics to try to swing the votes.
