Do you think Fishbowl posts are truly anonymous? It seems likely to me that Fishbowl/GlassDoor is selling companies data with the privacy stripped away so they can see what their employees are posting. Do you think they sell the data but it’s still anonymous?

I am a boy and was made naked by my super-seniors during ragging in front of a girl. Now that same girl joined my team recently and she well recognises me.. I still feel a lot of shy/exposed in having any communication with her. ,😋 Also I doubt she may disclose my secrets to team mates as she befriends them gradually 😪😇. What to do..
