Only about 2% of the info on the internet can be trusted. It is all about gaming the system and finding marks to con. I am almost ready to unplug.

I long ago stopped paying any attention to Glassdoor and indeed. They do next to no vetting of their reviews. Companies shill on them so much, their data is meaningless.

DUH!

My review of former employer was rejected because I included less than flattering info on CEO - the same info which had been disclosed in a Form 8K filing, all pub record - so yes, the reviews are worthless.

Nb b.

Always wondered why negative reviews were rebutted with nearly identical positive reviews within 24 hours. “hire staff likely to post positive reviews” or: HR creates a new account & posts managements scripted response. Like I just did now.

WOW! Maaaaaan why does there ALWAYS have to be these manipulative assholes that just can’t handle criticism?! And of course the shittiest companies manipulate the most. Totally defeats the ENTIRE CONCEPT. 🤦🏽‍♀️😤

This is so true! Could even tell who in HR was doing it.

Many PR firms do this

You'd have to be really naive to think otherwise.

No shit
