Imagine going through a strenuous interview process after months of searching and finally, you get the offer you have been hoping for… that is, until said offer is cruelly taken away from you.

This job candidate had fully put in his two weeks' notice when the offer was suddenly rescinded. So, he did what any frustrated job seeker would do: he wrote a strongly worded Glassdoor review and made sure to give them a piece of his mind. Not soon after that, the recruiter reached out not to apologize for what went down but to ask for the candidate to take down his scathing review. Not a chance, ma'am.

    They'll threaten legal action. "Brand Security" they'll claim. There's no tort unless you're lying - and the company has to prove that. Your post is protected free speech - if the employer wants the review taken down, tell them to take it up with Glassdoor.

    Stalennin 51 min. ago I mean, that's literally what Glassdoor is for, so we can let other workers know our experiences with employers. You did the best thing you could, leave it up.
