    It’s literally all in the article…

    They’re de-anonymizing all accounts so I hope you’re okay with your reviews having your real name. Whether you have Glassdoor your name or not - Fishbowl using data lists to fill your data regardless of your consent.

      Seems like you didn’t read the article either. That isn’t what’s happening. I can understand your confusion because of the provocative and misleading article title, but they’re adding names to your private profile, not adding them to your reviews.

      I was five minutes away from clocking out for the day, so I couldn’t be arsed to read the article before getting up. Lol. Serves me right for being lazy, I guess. :)

        Sorry just meant there is no prior knowledge required. It’s not an ongoing issue of enshittification or anything. Just a sudden leap forward, or rather Dump/Plop…
