Aren't Glassdoor's reviews pretty much a scam anyway? Last I heard companies can pay $$ to gain moderation control over their own profile to delete/downrank bad reviews.

it wasn’t always the case (or at least most people believed it wasn’t) and they exist for a long time – the suggestion I think is for the people like me, who wrote something there over 10 years ago and now their posts would possibly stop being anonymous.

I definitely want to hear this from Glassdoor. I just can't imagine why Glassdoor would put a user's name alongside a review against the wish of the user in question. So I'll give Glassdoor a chance to clarify what's happening before getting my pitchfork.

If anybody doesn't think this is a problem, I overheard managers talking about a 3rd-party tool that finds "at risk employees" which they didn't define but said it included signals such as "they updated their linked in recently" as a signal that they may be on the job hunt.

You better believe that data brokers are both interested in buying and selling any sort of information around your employment/job/interview behaviors.
