Comments on: Glassdoor Inside Connections http://www.hrexaminer.com/15333 Tue, 22 May 2012 04:19:00 +0000 hourly 1 By: Anonymous http://www.hrexaminer.com/15333/comment-page-1#comment-4383 Anonymous Fri, 03 Feb 2012 23:59:00 +0000 http://www.hrexaminer.com/?p=15333#comment-4383 I love Glassdoor and frequently refer people to it as it has a wealth of excellent information which is very difficult to find elsewhere yet very easy to find on Glassdoor. But I have to wonder how the integration with Facebook will work out. I hope and expect it will work well as the folks at Glassdoor seem to do almost everything well but I wonder about their partner at Facebook. You see, Facebook has this obsession with changing its privacy policies after it has changed its privacy practices and then doing so again and again and again. Will users wake up to the reality that privacy is a quaint and almost forgotten notion to those at Facebook? And if users do wake up to that fact, will their lack of trust in Facebook rub off on Glassdoor. I would trust Glassdoor to keep my comments about my employer private, but would I trust Facebook to do the same? And whether it is Glassdoor or Facebook that reveals that I posted that my boss is a dolt, will it matter much to me when I'm suddenly unemployed?
