My name is John Doe, it’s totally my real name.
My name is totally the ex-manager everyone hated before he left.
No way! I’ve met 6 other John Does lately!
Of course, my name is Jonathan Jacobian Djengle, I was adopted by the Heimerschmidt family. You can call me John.
Wow, your name is my name too.
No way, that’s my name too!
Wait, do you have an issue when you go out where people always shout?

I’ve never used Glassdoor but I know people who have. Seems like a great way for them to destroy their own business.
Even if I were inclined to do so, I would absolutely NOT do so if I had to provide my real name. They will be the one company to never ever get their user db hacked/leaked, right? I can trust all current and future executives there to safeguard that info, right?
When enshittification bites back!
It’s 100% calculated. The controllers of glassdoor decided to kill the site, likely persuaded with money, coercion or both.
Perhaps not to destroy it but to make a new business model, selling the ability to get names for lawsuit purposes, and rather than users are going after a profitable extortion racket like yelp did where in exchange for a one time (or even monthly) fee will protect your business from bad reviews.
That’s my guess, i couldn’t read the article (paywall)
Exit strategy? “I got what I wanted out of it, so I may as well take the rubber mask off.”
The problem is that the names weren’t provided by users to glassdoor. If glassdoor stumbles across someone’s real name then they have automatically attached it to the user profile. They’re doxxing their users so now people have to worry if they ever used the service.
No disagreement here…
Which will be followed by letting companies pay to see who to retaliate against.

It’s our duty to give them the shittiest of fake names
Glassdoor always seemed like a trap to me. What better way to find (potentially) disloyal people to add to the in-house blacklist or layoff file than to set up a site where you can collect negative reviews of workplaces and sufficient data that identities could be ascertained?
Don’t you already need your company email for verification? Mapping company email to real name is obviously trivial for your employer…
Give em your boss’ name.
