You looking for the next job out there - or trying to ferret out something on an employer who made an offer.
Do you agree with this statement?

"𝑮𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒅𝒐𝒐𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒂 𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒎"

(thread starts here)

I've been there and gave reviews that are still up (at the time of this tweet.)
Yet some claim they do turn down negative reviews (Platform).
Or simply drain them with positive ones (Employers.)

With the sole negative (not condemning) review, I've left. Let's wipe 'em out with fresher positive reviews was a tactic that seemed to work.
Yet, the platform may be playing a part too. Since all were from a different location than the one I've queried and still showing first.

So, what is your take on online employer/workplace reviews?

IMO they're mostly used as a marketing tool is all.
And everything marketing - that is not focusing on the product (in this instance making a better culture stick & work in the workplace, pay better, be more flexible where it makes sense etc.)
Is fishy...
