That's interesting, I didn't know they did that. But it could be better: 1) This alert doesn't show up at all on mobile. 2) IMO this should either affect the overall score or be displayed in search results as well, which is not currently the case: https://www.glassdoor.com/Search/results.htm?keyword=ZURU
I didn't know this either. I stand corrected. Having said that, apart from what you also flagged, it's also a bit bland. Like "there's some legal stuff here, exercise caution". Instead the badge could have symbolic character, an emotive icon ... something. Something that strongly implies "Danger Will Robinson" without explicitly saying so. Something any company would want to avoid risking that thing showing next to t…
But it does give you enough to start doing more searching to understand the greater context, no?

If you sign into a personal Google account on a new Chrome profile on a managed laptop, can they get access to your entire Google account (drive, emails, etc.) remotely? Can they use an auth token or something to automate the process of downloading all your data? If so, is this legal?
> If so, is this legal? If it’s a company provided laptop then it’s a good idea to assume that every keystroke, DNS request, and network packet is fair game. Laptops are cheap. There’s no reason to mix personal and corporate usage.

Exactly! I'm always amazed at people who do ANYTHING personal on corporate resources, especially in this day and age. Even when personal computers were rare and cost thousands of dollars I still didn't do jack shit on work computers, no matter how tempting or "acceptable use" it was.

Re: Glassdoor not so anonymous
#435Hopefully Glassdoor is still pursuing protection of the reviewers. This was a rejected motion to squash the whole case without a hearing. That doesn't mean after a hearing there will be a decision in Zuru's favor, just that there is enough for a hearing. At least that's the way I read it, but I'm not a lawyer.

#436Would a blockchain based Glassdoor alternative make sense? You can't sue a blockchain, and if they do somehow, they're not going to ban the entire blockchain in the whole country just because it provides anonymous reviews.
The issue is not that Glassdoor is being sued, the issue is that there is a company who wants to obtain the identities of those using Glassdoor to make comments about the company. Most people use Blockchain through established services such as Coinbase -- Coinbase, and most other legitimate services like this must comply with KYC rules. So instead of suing "a blockchain", they'd demand the identity of the wallet hold…

#437Not only this but internal surveys as well. One particular company (100+ startup) in Vancouver was well known for this. The CEO would tell workers that the survey was anonymous but then would immediately try to identify track down humiliate them. It was posted on Glassdoor a couple of times but pretty sure they were taken down like this.
Re: Glassdoor not so anonymous
#438In general, I don't like the idea of breaking the anonymity, and I haven't checked the reviews posted about Zuru, but the tough question is, should you/a company have the right to break anonymity for factually inaccurate statements.
As a publicly elected official, I have had someone lie about me at a public meeting. An accusation which if true, would certainly inhibit my ability to get re-elected. Since it was in public, I could find the person who said it and got a public retraction at the next meeting.
Thankfully these occurrences are few and far between, but doesn't diminish the question about the rights of the target.
But what if this accusation was posted anonymously and I could not find the the accuser? Should I be allowed to get the name from the site?

I imagine Glassdoor is reacting to the situation and is going on the "Better to get out part of the solution now than wait to get everything out perfectly" which I would agree with.
Re: Glassdoor not so anonymous
#440This is actually an amazing opportunity for Glassdoor. Just put a "badge" next to companies known to sue employees who post reviews on Glassdoor. No reviews are even needed from that point on to signify a shitty company; for all anyone knows all negative reviews may have been taken down through legal action, but the badge stays, signifying that there was at least one review so damaging that they had to get lawyers in…

I see no such alert on Glassdoor's Zuru page. Nor do searches of the web page on "alert" "legal" and "action" lead me to an alert. Like it never happened.
