Why does Glassdoor keep deleting employees reviews?

Prior to being laidoff from my last job , I experienced the most traumatizing behaviors from my manager , head of department and senior leadership in charge of that department - It eventually led to layoff in the name of “ Reorg” - I wrote my first review on Glassdoor and Glassdoor deleted it after a few weeks, I still decided to write a new more diplomatic review and now they have sent this. I understand Glassdoor is a private company et all but why sell something they are not . “Oops, there's an issue with your submission. Below is information about the issue and how you can fix it. Thank you for contributing to the Glassdoor community. Our moderators evaluate each review to determine whether it complies with our Community Guidelines. We determined your review does not meet these guidelines because you have mentioned or discussed yourself or another individual by name, title or association. As part of our guidelines, we do not allow users within their reviews to single out themselves or non-C-level executives in a negative light. We only permit discussion of specific individuals when they are C-level executives and therefore represent the public face of the company and have great influence over the broad work environment. If you wish, you are welcome to edit your review here and your edited review will be reevaluated within 24 hours of receipt. If you have any questions, please visit our Help Center. There, you can learn more about our policies or contact us. Kind regards, Glassdoor”

Companies pay to keep their records clean. Users like you are not valuable.

Quite the opposite. Reviews like those by OP becomes ransom for Glassdoor

Was the previous company Andela?

Andela mRaS84 OP Apr 22

Yes

lmao, me too. I was laid off as well from Andela but there was no explanation, the only excuse they told me was that they were downsizing due to market volatility. What position did you work in at Andela? I used to work as an IT Systems Specialist.

You were venting instead of providing valuable content.

Andela mRaS84 OP Apr 22

Actually no, I provided valuable feedback -- Not all feedbacks are positive

After Glassdoor acquired Fishbowl, they merged the two products. They linked my public Fishbowl account with my private glassdoor account without my permission and killed my anonymity on the platform. This pissed me off. Seems like they want to be a social media platform going forward. I do not trust them to keep my company reviews or activity on glassdoor anonymous anymore. So, I deleted my account right away and asked them to delete all my data (Honestly, I do not trust that they will do this).
