I started working this job about two months ago and HR already sent me an email asking me to write a Glassdoor review and said by doing so I’ll get “some awesome company swag” … maybe it’s common for employees to be asked to write reviews, but it seems unethical af!

It’s walking a line imo. Sounds like they want reviews and haven’t threatened you or demanded a grade or specific commentary.
Sounds like a simple case of good intention gone wrong.

It depends on what type of review they are asking for. Do they want a review of your onboarding experience? If so, that's a valid request.

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.

I think Warren torpedoed Bloomberg's campaign due to his use of NDAs. Thoughts?
