Yelp isn't dead but no one I know uses it anymore, specifically due to all the issues with reviews.
Yelp rating, photos and reviews come before the street address when you click on a place in Apple Maps. I have to scroll down to get the street address, somebody decided that is less important.

Can you tell us more? What signals should I be worried about employers looking at?
It’s worse and deeper than you’d want to know. That said most HR Tech companies and large corporate HR departments are incompetent so it’s not really as scary in practice as it sounds. Also GDPR/CCPA has hamstrung a lot of this and HR depts are fairly petrified about it. Talent Acquisition, not so much…

Or it guarantees you’re in the next round of layoffs. You’re now a liability and they’ll be looking for a replacement with better loyalty signals.
You will be on the next round of layoffs regardless of your loyalty. "You were updating linkedin" is the excuse. It could be anything else. But the reality is that they found someone cheaper.

Employers and recruiters are always bewildered when I say I don't have a LinkedIn account, or a public Github profile (I have a few tiny open source projects I maintain, but they are all pseudonymous) - and this is exactly why. I don't want people creeping any kind of "profile" of me. Ever.
Linkedin is required to market yourself though or else you can't bullshit your way through the HR hoops.

We built this tool as part of HiringSolved. Other signals included time in current position relative to industry average and personal history.
I will never understand how people can willingly build tools like this that almost exclusively serve to make employment miserable.

It does sometimes feel like we're missing out on these "reasonable company with reasonable expectations" type businesses and funding and crashing a ton of companies that would otherwise maybe live on reasonably?
What is the line from The Social Network? "Its not cool to be a millionaire, its cool to be a billionaire" or something along those lines. I think a lot of people aren't happy with being just very wealthy I suppose.

Let them squirm. Get your teammates to update to and keep management nervous and focused on improving the employee's lives. Take it even to starting a union if needed. You don't give your time to an employer, you trade it, and in our modern society we have a gap in the market power of labor. Only way to get it is to reclaim it.
> Let them squirm. The risk here isn't that your snooping boss feels a bit uncomfortable. The risk is that your snooping boss now thinks they'd better not send you on that expensive training course or assign you that big, important project where success could get you promoted. And that you'll never get a chance to address their fears, as they want to keep the snooping secret.
Big Tech started with a lot of power in labor due to the knowledge economy, and is losing a lot of their core power. Thus wages will start slipping more and more and converge to general market rate for talent. Reclaim that power!

Remember when Yelp did that? And yet, somehow not dead.
I think Yelp only survives through its integration with Apple Maps. If Apple ever decides to build its own review feature I can’t imagine Yelp surviving.
