I went to my Glassdoor account and the only place I could see my name was in the community part, where people ask questions of other professionals. Some users still seemed to have their names hidden, so it must be possible to do so. My company reviews are still anonymous.
I honestly can't find any evidence that what the media are saying is happening is actually happening. I feel gaslit tbh lol
Haven't heard of glassdoor before, but the article repeatedly states that the name is not shown to the employer and that reviews are still anonymous. That is not the issue though. The issue this person and the author have is that there might be data breaches or that there might be information on fishbowl that would link your account name to your real name. And they make out that this is a real possibility. Also they have an issue with the company trying to find out your real name and saving it without consent. They do not say in the article that your real name would be visible right now.
But by you talking about "the media" I guess you are trying to find reasons to further your already present distrust in any media that contradicts your beliefs?
Lol not sure why the somewhat gratuitous character attack there, but whatever.
Well, why would you talk about "the media" and you feeling gaslit by them? Maybe I misunderstood you? Was it meant as a joke?
"The media" is a common term in American English that refers to mainstream news outlets. I said I felt gaslit because the early headlines and articles on this topic suggested that names were made visible, not that they were merely added to accounts.
Regardless, there is no call for personal attacks. I'm sure you can find the maturity to respond to comments you disagree with in ways that don't involve attacking the users who post them.
Sorry, but where did I personally attack you? And maybe I misunderstood why you referred to "the media" because this gets thrown around by a lot of people like conspiracy or right wing folks. And gaslighting is imo a pretty heavy term where someone intentionally tries to manipulate you into distrusting your own sense of reality. (I know that it is thrown around a lot these days, but that's what I would associate with it). In combination feeling gaslit by "the media" sounded like you distrust the majority of media outlets and that you imply that they intentionally deceive you until you cannot tell what's actually happening. But obviously that was just my interpretation of your statement...
I get that you didn't mean that, so all good.
Perhaps there is a tonal message in your words that you didn't intend (your native language seems to be German?). This paragraph comes across as dismissing my comment while making a sweeping, inaccurate, and baseless judgment that I "distrust any media that contradicts my beliefs:"

Hard to see how that couldn't be meant as, at best, a passive-aggressive dig, implying some level of instability or paranoia.
