Good luck 'deactivating' your account. Somehow I was registered via Facebook. I was able to sign in via Facebook. Then they force you to give your company, title, location, and name before they allow you access to anything, including settings (scum). Then when you click deactivate you have to sign in again, and the Facebook login just redirects to a blank page and deactivation doesn't occur.

I know of two multinational conglomerates (one Indian, the other Argentinian) that requires all newcomers to post a GlassDoor review and a LinkedIn post praising the company, the onboarding gifts, and such things. Both are absolute hell to work for unless you're upper management, according to acquaintances that have been there and climbed outside the bog of low-level positions. It's not a lot, but it's weird it happe…
Globant?
That's one, the other starts with a 'T' and ends with 'CS'.

I think there's an explanation that is both more charitable and more pragmatic. Companies try to keep employees happy and committed, and part of that is making sure they see a potential future / growth for themselves. As a manager I try to both make sure this is based in reality and that employees are picking up the message. I like to think I am good at this but it's a difficult skill, and external signal to "hey, yo…
IMO a company that would rely on this kind of invasive surveillance is not really interested in the well being of their employees. There are far better and less invasive ways to evaluate employee satisfaction and fulfillment than hiring an outside organization to "dig up dirt", for the lack of a better term. To me it's no different than a company hiring a PI to follow me around so they can report back how many drinks…
Stop giving them ideas! The last thing I need is for someone to figure out and monetize the correlation between my Oreo / Johnny Walker consumption rate (not together, obviously) and my job satisfaction.

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.
I deleted my LinkedIn account fifteen years ago, and it's been fine. I don't have random recruiters beating down my door trying to interest me in jobs I don't want, but is that such a loss? I've had no trouble getting the jobs I do want.

And yet I am gainfully employed and haven't had problems switching when I want to..

> Banks/Credit card companies selling my purchase history? As far as I am aware, almost every credit card company already does this. They tell you they are doing it too.
Yep.. and grocery stores
Re: Glassdoor updated my profile to add my real name and location
#209Weird. I only see the option to deactivate an account, not delete or even close. Damn this terribly company and their terrible, terrible dark patterns.
See my top-level comment. I went through this process and the confirmation message seems to indicate it does perform a deletion vs. a deactivation.
Maybe. I don't trust Glassdoor to be honest though.

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.
Managers want prisoners. Tradespeople don't fall for this shjt, white collar employees shouldn't.
I think a better mental model is that managers want _control_. If you are known for keeping your word and being frank in your goals, you are forecastable in how you will act and management steps back from trying to control and maybe even trusts you. If you aren't this way (and most folks aren't), then you become a pawn in a lot of manager headgames.
Some managers are just a--holes, granted.
