Apparently, companies that had layoffs are now in damage control on Glassdoor. I'm not affiliated with the pragmatic engineer newsletter, but it's worth a read: https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.co

Apparently, companies that had layoffs are now in damage control on Glassdoor. I'm not affiliated with the pragmatic engineer newsletter, but it's worth a read: https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/the-scoop-49 >I got a message from a software engineer working at a company which laid off 30% of staff in December 2022. It’s a late-stage startup valued at around $3B which had around 1,000 employees before the layoffs. The engineer wrote: >“My company is removing Glassdoor reviews because their rating has gotten so low. The company’s score went to 2.3 and they started doing this. I don’t think my company is alone in this practice to protect themselves from bad press, but lots of my colleagues have had their reviews deleted. Effectively, we’ve been silenced.”
