Glassdoor has posted a notice on ZURU's page regarding this: https://www.glassdoor.com.au/Reviews/ZURU-Reviews-E2286297.h...

It appears a few other companies are doing this too, including Kraken (https://www.kraken.com/) as you can see here: https://www.glassdoor.com.au/Overview/Working-at-Kraken-Digi...

EDIT: If anyone from Glassdoor is reading this, please advise on a way to either unlink my profile from my identity - or remove my profile and contact information altogether. I believe GDPR may provide some assistance here.

It’s amazing that companies with billions of dollars of revenue make such poor moves. All I think when I see a story like this is “well I guess there isn’t much competition in NZ toy companies”.

>Glassdoor’s FAQ goes into a little more detail about how they will defend user anonymity. They know this is vital their success:

If glassdoor cares so much about anonymity, why didn't they engineer their site in such a way that prevents them from being able to deanonymize reviewers? For instance, not keeping identifying user details after they have been verified?

A decent outcome here would be if Glassdoor revealed all employers that attempt to go after former employees with alerts like the current one on the Zuru page.

Glassdoors business model is selling the ability to take down bad reviews. Why would they out their customers?
