Ask HN: Did Glassdoor figure out your identity?

2 points by penguin_booze 11 days ago · 0 comments · 1 min read


AFAIR, I never submitted my real identity with my contributions to Glassdoor. I even used a different email with Glassdoor account than my primary. Yet, it looks to me like Glassdoor sniffed out my real name and job somehow, and is now linked against my account, with no way to remove or amend it.

In the age of surveillance, the fact that they were able to resolve my identity doesn't surprise me. If I'm correctly recalling that I never volunteered this information myself, I feel queasy about how they did that behind my back, especially on a platform that's supposedly anonymous.

Anyone else find themselves on the same boat w.r.t. their real identity having been fished out?
