Honestly this idea was probably taken from here so apologies if it’s a repost.
Addressing the Problem:
Have you ever had a bad experience with a company or job, but felt hesitant to leave a negative review on platforms like Glassdoor or Indeed? Perhaps you’re worried about potential repercussions or your review being removed after company complaints. It can feel frustrating when you want to share your honest feedback but feel limited in how to do so effectively.
Practical Solutions:
One genius idea that has been circulating involves adding positive reviews with massively inflated salaries. By doing this, you can subtly convey dissatisfaction while also potentially influencing how others perceive the company. Here’s how you can carry out this strategy:
- Add positive reviews with specific requests that the company doesn’t offer, such as “requesting fully remote work” if they have an office policy.
- Inflate the salary mentioned in your review to be significantly higher than what is typically offered by the company.
- This tactic can create the illusion that current employees are underpaid and potential candidates are being lowballed on their offers.
Companies have become adept at managing negative reviews, but fake positive reviews can present a challenge that is harder to overcome. By strategically adding misleading but positive feedback, you can indirectly highlight areas of improvement for the company without facing as many obstacles to getting your message across.
Real-Life Example:
For instance, imagine you had a negative experience with a company that underpaid you and lacked remote work options. You could leave a glowing review on Glassdoor, praising the benefits of the workplace and the high salary you received. Other employees may start questioning their own salaries and potentially push for better compensation.
Remember, the goal is not to deceive others but to spark a conversation and draw attention to areas that need improvement within the company. By adopting this clever tactic, you can influence company perceptions and potentially drive positive change.
Conclusion:
Next time you find yourself wanting to share feedback about a company but feeling hesitant, consider this innovative approach. By adding inflated salary details and unrealistic perks to your positive reviews, you can subtly convey dissatisfaction and prompt discussions about necessary improvements. Let’s leverage this creative strategy to make a meaningful impact on the companies we interact with!
Eh, you’re hurting other job seekers by doing this.
With my company The compensation is actually lower on glassdoor than it is in real life 🤷🏻♂️
Don’t like this because it hurts people looking for jobs and harms those in the role who are in it and love their job… just post transparent honest reviews to help others out
Sometime I crossed some curious positive comments and I wonder if that’s the same technique. Like “we are not here for restaurant tickets” in cons (which are compulsory according to local law) or “baby-foot” in pros (that’s self explaining)
Maybe it’s just me, I don’t read experiences of other candidates when looking for a job.
This is terrible idea, this hurts more new candidates that current and the company. Anyone applying will be let down and a lot of time will be wasted for people who are trying to find work. — Instead do this,
Write a 3/5 star review. This way they can’t remove it and mix in your feedback so it is negative and leave “some” things positive. One review our company got was talking about how great it was to have free coffee then turn around and talk about leadership playing favorites.
Shit works. Hard to get those removed.
Things like this:
“Expectations are managed repeatedly during the process so you need to take notes as it becomes your responsibility to manage before long”.
“I have never seen the level of corroboration and communication here in any other companies and that’s why it’s a company you want to investigate thoroughly.”
Of course four stars.
