Isn't the business model for Glassdoor to charge for the removal of unflattering reviews?

  Glassdoor does not delete reviews but you can pay for "advice" how to get positive reviews instead.

  No shit. Wow.

  That's what I thought to. But it seems Zuru isn't satisfied with mere removal of the review, or didn't want to pay for it. They're trying to unmask the ex-employee so they can sue him personally in New Zealand. They don't just want the review gone, they want the reviewer ruined.

    This is what a startup in Vancouver (highly visible, ~100 employees) got a reputation for. The CEO would go after glassdoor reviewers, and people who answer negatively on surveys that he told everybody was anonymous. The glassdoor reviews would mention the fact that this CEO was harassing them. Lots of shady stuff like misleading investors (like having 5 minute intro calls and announcing they have a partnership) and lying to their employees (whos RSU ultimately mounted to nothing). They were acquired a few years ago but the founders had sold most of their shares and ultimately the investors just broke even (possibly loss, and pissed). It seems like the smaller the market (comparing Vancouver & Auckland) the more nasty and toxic the local industry is. It's sad because after Hootsuite they were acting like they were next so took on VC money and proceeded to destroy/lie their own creation of 10+ years.
