#62Glassdoor 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 ident…
That may not help former zuru’s employees but obviously is a clear message to prospective ones. A nice FU from Glassdoor.
More interestingly it’s a nice way to forestall future lawsuits as well.

DNS records of your VPN or corporate work station would be pretty easy. You can line then up with when the review was posted. Then investigate their workstation more "thoroughly".
Pretty uncool to give employers ideas on how to force their IT staff to rat out employees who speak out. Edit: yikes, people.
Pretty dumb to talk crap about your employer on said employer's hardware and/or network, regardless of how true it is or not.

How do I pay Glassdoor to take down a review? Is that on their website somewhere?
presumably you simoly wait for someone from the glassdoor sales team to contact you , the owner. they will present is as a review optimization strategy. this is how yelp did it back in the day. i dont know if glassdor does or did it, just pointing out other review sites did do it and never posted it on their "pricing" or "services" page for employers...

Yelp no longer does this?

Nah that's a pretty obvious way to catch people and any sysadmin knows it. Browser history is a good spot to check too.
Be smart kids. Do your employer bashing at the public library.

Alternatively, it's a warning to employees on how they might get caught.
Once again for those in the back, never use your employer's equipment or network for anything you don't want them to see!

Or cool to give employees an understanding that employers aren't their friends and can and will go to extreme lengths to screw them over if it benefits the corporation. Also just general advice to avoid doing things on your company laptop if you don't want your employer to know about them.

This is a good example of why not to do personal stuff on your work machine or work network.
If you care at all if your company would see it, _don't_ do it anywhere near their hardware.

If it’s a managed corporate laptop that uses Chrome, then they could remotely check the browser history, likely directly to the review itself.

#70Contact us page for Zuru Toys. I just sent them a short message explaining that previously I was not aware of their company but now this issue is the only thing that I know about them and it is not a good look.
