I need to be frank and clear about Glassdoor!

Whenever I see postings about people sharing their work stories and experiences this brings me back to the Facebook days of social media!

Why are people sharing their personal experiences about their work-life experiences to the open world?

This work-life bowl thread should be about some people sharing their experiences and stories about their employment experiences to other people and how they see their employer.

Thoughts?

"Why are people sharing their personal experiences about their work life to the open world?"

"This... bowl should be about some people sharing their experiences and stories..."

So, which is it? It's bad to share your work life experiences here, or this bowl is for sharing your work life experiences?

Not to mention that FB is not private -- your name is on all your posts -- and we are completely anonymous here, unless, like you, we post our names.

There are plenty of bowls directly related to work or specific company bowls. This is the Work/Life Bowl

This place used to be an anonymous gossip site for consultants and later other white collar prpfessionals. It was a wretched hive of scum and villany. A mud pit for the morally broken and devoid.

Then glassdoor bought it and tried to drain the swamp they had purchased. Much like Facebook when it opened up membership to old people, the new arrivals are here thinking this place isn't a swamp but wondering why theres so much mud and detritus laying around

There are many many bowls on fishbowl

Very true. Search for your company, your industry, your hobbies, whatever…and the whole point here is that it’s anonymous so highly suggest not posting under your own name. Especially bad takes under your own name.

Sounds good

This bowl used to be the “Covid life bowl”—it was a catch-all for people to talk about work/life/covid. It changed names a few years ago, but is still a work/life catch-all. You can post whatever you want in here, and people will choose to interact with it or not.

Thank you all for your perspective on this topic! These comments are all helpful! As someone who is in the job market right now, I needed to get a clear picture of what’s going on

Is it wise to go to my company’s competitor for a promotion and risk burning a bridge?

For context, my small company was suddenly bought out by a large corp. I was about to get promoted to leadership but the new company doesn’t want to honor the title/salary increase we worked out. We only have one significant competitor in our industry, and it’s likely my best option. Love my company, been with them for years, but I’m really struggling with how frustrating this situation is.

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
