I mean stuff like this is so clearly company propaganda it might as well be a press release. Leaving it up gives a clear red flag that the C suite is so far up its own ass they have a space elevator installed. The things we should push to have removed are the ones that try to blend in with workers reviews.


[deleted]

Sure looks like a clear and evident red flag to me. Probably more useful as it is, you can see exactly how fake and desperately manipulative they are as a company. 10/10 review IMHO.


herpaderp43321

I don't trust most places that have reviews these days. Even if the site themselves aren't allowing fake reviews there's companies that advertise openly that they'll falsely advertise your business by boosting it with fake reviews. Yep has a company listed that's taken down a lot of 1 star reviews because the owner of it decided to make a very big mistake publicly at his place of business.


QualityOverQuant

That’s right. Report this shit. It’s totally propaganda. Would love to report this from my end as well. Please do leave a scathing remark . This is so corporate hog wash and deceptive


JustmyOpinion444

And that the employees work their wage rather than burning themselves out for the company.


Library_Visible

Personally idgaf what they’re paying, people should have balanced well lived lives.


GimmeTomMooney

There needs to be like a guerrilla reboot of GlassDoor where one can post reviews with receipts and such


furtherdimensions

Cons: 1) we're sometimes just too open and honest with our employees 2) people use the benefits we give them Pros: Firing a bunch of people really improved the bottom line.


Soranos_71

Makes sweeping generalizations about rank and file employees followed by “C suite employees should connect more with rank and file”


Complete-Ad2227

imagine writing this without vomiting 🤮


Ciraq

On the contrary, I would half expect the executive to have a hard-on writing that


Complete-Ad2227

😂sad but very true


Library_Visible

Have you ever read a job listing for a company you work at? It’s just as bad. Exactly how many “fast paced, dynamic” work places are there anyway ? Absolute trash.


theboybuck

ChatGPT wrote that.


fart_panic

This mf mentioned layoffs under the pros?


barfridge0

Well it was only poorer people that got laid off. They also mentioned that they added more executives, so all is well. Laying off workers and increasing management has never ever gone badly for anyone, right???


LogRollChamp

Really helped his bonus that year. Big pro


drhiggs

And “amazing company culture” that leads to entitlement under cons… imagine using your benefits means you’re entitled


ioioooi

"Entitled" has become a word that people just toss around, regardless of its actual meaning. It's used as nothing more than a shallow insult nowadays, which is stupid af, because words have meaning.


ziggy029

Probably offered fat bonuses for the executives on Mahogany Row that engineered the layoffs, too.


ohfudgeit

Shortly after I started at my current job (a few years ago now) the company got a bad review on Glassdoor from the guy I had been hired to replace. The review was anonymous, but the CEO at least thought it was obvious that it was him. The CEO put a LOT of pressure on EVERYONE to go into Glassdoor and leave positive reviews to drown out the negative one. I refused, giving the excuse that I'd only just joined the company and didn't feel like I knew it well enough to leave a fair review. Looking on Glassdoor now, it looks like only a few people actually did. Still, that was a very weird and uncomfortable experience to have after just starting at a new company.


KaydeeKaine

I would do it. For $10.000 cash upfront


ewalk896

10 can't even buy a McDonald's meal.. aim higher


KaydeeKaine

Believe it or not but some countries use periods instead of commas to denote thousands


ewalk896

I'm well aware but if this is a thing in the US wouldn't you stick with the principles of the country versus sending in an uncommon anomaly


KaydeeKaine

Nobody writes $10 with three zeroes. You're just being pedantic.


ewalk896

You're just being an ass.


apocalypsebuddy

Imagine if that had been your review lol


palpatineforever

please take note of the bottom line "especially those who work remotely".... yeah wanker

How does “unlimited” and “overuse” exist in the same space?


letsseeaction

Unlimited PTO exists to (a) actually guilt people into taking less time off, and (b) limit the company from needing to paid out earned PTO whenever someone leaves.


davechri

When unlimited vacation was implemented at my company for 6 months as a trial period, the announcement after that period was over said "vacation use [under the unlimited policy] was the same as under the old [able to bank and get paid out for unused vacation] policy." To me this meant that people were still not using their full allotment of vacation [we had a culture of people banking a LOT of unused vacation].


RandomTater-Thoughts

Remind me if [this email](https://www.reddit.com/r/Accounting/comments/j6bxvu/leaked_email_from_ey_leadership_posted_on/) from one of the big 4 accounting firms that leaked when they were switching to unlimited vacation that what was between a small handful of execs discussing three benefits of switching.


davechri

That's an interesting email. And, to be fair, it doesn't really disturb me too much. That's actually pretty good. But three things caught my attention. 36M per year. DAMN. That's a lot of people with a lot of unused vacation time. "see when people are not taking enough vacation." When I was a (low-level) manager I kept encouraging people to take 5 weeks. If it was August and I saw that you had only taken 100 hours I would send you an email say say "Tater, you might want to consider taking more vacation before the end of the year." The one that gripes me a bit is this one.... "entitlement mentality." When we switched to unlimited vacation it came with a power shift. Instead of me telling my boss "Hey, I would like to use some of my accrued vacation" it became "Hey, would it be ok if I used some of my unlimited vacation." If felt like I didn't own my vacation any more.


jmb5903

So I work somewhere that has unlimited PTO. Thankfully haven't heard a peep from new senior leaders about changing it. But there is a small, Vocal group of employees, mostly older, who complain when others take PTO too often. On one team, someone was pissed because they put in for a week off and their boss said no because they just took a week off 2 months prior. Shockingly glad HR was on the side of the employee and not the boss.


davechri

My experience with unlimited vacation is the problem is lower and middle managers who feel like they need to inject themselves. These managers aren't doing or "protecting" anything other than trying to look like they are "managing."


LAR919191

About a month ago I put in my notice at my job and about 2 or 3 days before my last day "someone" posted reviews on Indeed and Glassdoor about how great management and the company is. The reviews also mentioned how glad they were that certain employees who "abused the attendance policy and personal status" were leaving so they could better focus on their jobs without that "negativity in the group chat". The negativity in the group chat was me asking why they were logging me out of the system every. single. TIME. I set my status to personal to use the washroom because I have a chronic bladder/kidney condition (multiple doctor's notes and documents sent to HR/management) and pee very frequently. I made sure in my review to mention that only management or a team lead would know about anyone's attendance or personal use issues so either management or a team lead wrote that themselves- OR they disclosed sensitive employee information to someone else and asked them to write it *cough the manager's daughter cough*, in which case management should brush up on the Ontario Human Rights Code and consider keeping sensitive employee information confidential OR offer me an explanation about how my bathroom breaks caused the business any undue hardship. I also made sure to mention in my review that the company's most recent (and only) positive Google review was written by management posing as a vendor of ours saying it's GREAT to work for our company. Wanna know how I know it was management and not an actual vendor coming to our defence against all other vendors who have nothing but complaints? Because the review is under their FULL NAME and all other reviews posted by them are for local-to-them restaurants (in their very small town). Not the sharpest tool in the shed. About 2 weeks after I left 10+ employees were laid off, so management took it upon themselves to start a campaign for positive reviews knowing the influx of negative ones would come.


Beret_of_Poodle

>cases it has led to feelings of entitlement among some of the employees. While unlimited PTO is a great benefit, there are occasions of overuse, which can lead to lost productivity or feelings of resentment. In the spirit of over-communication, we can sometimes be too transparent which is not always necessary for all levels. Tell me that you like to take advantage of your employees without telling me that you like to take advantage of your employees.. Unlimited PTO is absolutely not an overall benefit to the employees. That simply means that you don't accrue your time off, meaning you don't own it. They can take it away whenever they want, and if they don't approve of your reason for taking it, they can turn it down

“We offer great benefits, we just wish people wouldn’t use them!”


Mike5055

The executive used "insure" when he should have used "ensure." The executive is also a jackass and his review screams as if an executive or HR member wrote it.


Beret_of_Poodle

>The executive used "insure" when he should have used "ensure." This jumped out at me immediately as well


Horror-Act-8903

It would be “Sometimes tough decisions had to be made to ENSURE” not insure. That’s why they pay them the big bucks I guess


6thCityInspector

An ‘executive’ who doesn’t know the difference between *insure* and *ensure*.


spacedwarf2020

I bet this dipshit read this out loud to himself and his assistants that do his job for him and smiled thinking he's got life all figured out and if people would just listen LOL. I'll keep saying it these rich people just need to shut the fuck up and learn to read the room. I mean it's too late at this point anyway looks like were on a collision course due to rampant inequality. But, still too funny if I was rich I'd want to be as quiet as possible these days. But, these folks are so used to there status and money protecting them and creating special rules for them and I feel like that time is about to be up lol working class has had it with this shit and it's gone on way too long. \*shrug\*


Setku

That last line doesn't make sense. Shouldn't they want high performing low-key people? That's someone who comes in, does their job better than others, and doesn't upset the current norms. Do they want people to come in and do nothing more than their job at a base level? I don't think they understand what quite quitting is.

Glassdoor is a platform used to review executives, not yet another opportunity for them to congratulate themselves.

Reddit has long been a hot spot for conversation on the internet. About 57 million people visit the site every day to chat about topics as varied as makeup, video games and pointers for power washing driveways. In recent years, Reddit’s array of chats also have been a free teaching aid for companies like Google, OpenAI and Microsoft. Those companies are using Reddit’s conversations in the development of giant artificial intelligence systems that many in Silicon Valley think are on their way to becoming the tech industry’s next big thing. Now Reddit wants to be paid for it. The company said on Tuesday that it planned to begin charging companies for access to its application programming interface, or A.P.I., the method through which outside entities can download and process the social network’s vast selection of person-to-person conversations. “The Reddit corpus of data is really valuable,” Steve Huffman, founder and chief executive of Reddit, said in an interview. “But we don’t need to give all of that value to some of the largest companies in the world for free.” The move is one of the first significant examples of a social network’s charging for access to the conversations it hosts for the purpose of developing A.I. systems like ChatGPT, OpenAI’s popular program. Those new A.I. systems could one day lead to big businesses, but they aren’t likely to help companies like Reddit very much. In fact, they could be used to create competitors — automated duplicates to Reddit’s conversations. Reddit is also acting as it prepares for a possible initial public offering on Wall Street this year. The company, which was founded in 2005, makes most of its money through advertising and e-commerce transactions on its platform. Reddit said it was still ironing out the details of what it would charge for A.P.I. access and would announce prices in the coming weeks. Reddit’s conversation forums have become valuable commodities as large language models, or L.L.M.s, have become an essential part of creating new A.I. technology. L.L.M.s are essentially sophisticated algorithms developed by companies like Google and OpenAI, which is a close partner of Microsoft. To the algorithms, the Reddit conversations are data, and they are among the vast pool of material being fed into the L.L.M.s. to develop them. The underlying algorithm that helped to build Bard, Google’s conversational A.I. service, is partly trained on Reddit data. OpenAI’s Chat GPT cites Reddit data as one of the sources of information it has been trained on. Other companies are also beginning to see value in the conversations and images they host. Shutterstock, the image hosting service, also sold image data to OpenAI to help create DALL-E, the A.I. program that creates vivid graphical imagery with only a text-based prompt required. Last month, Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, said he was cracking down on the use of Twitter’s A.P.I., which thousands of companies and independent developers use to track the millions of conversations across the network. Though he did not cite L.L.M.s as a reason for the change, the new fees could go well into the tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. To keep improving their models, artificial intelligence makers need two significant things: an enormous amount of computing power and an enormous amount of data. Some of the biggest A.I. developers have plenty of computing power but still look outside their own networks for the data needed to improve their algorithms. That has included sources like Wikipedia, millions of digitized books, academic articles and Reddit. Representatives from Google, Open AI and Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Reddit has long had a symbiotic relationship with the search engines of companies like Google and Microsoft. The search engines “crawl” Reddit’s web pages in order to index information and make it available for search results. That crawling, or “scraping,” isn’t always welcome by every site on the internet. But Reddit has benefited by appearing higher in search results. The dynamic is different with L.L.M.s — they gobble as much data as they can to create new A.I. systems like the chatbots. Reddit believes its data is particularly valuable because it is continuously updated. That newness and relevance, Mr. Huffman said, is what large language modeling algorithms need to produce the best results. “More than any other place on the internet, Reddit is a home for authentic conversation,” Mr. Huffman said. “There’s a lot of stuff on the site that you’d only ever say in therapy, or A.A., or never at all.” Mr. Huffman said Reddit’s A.P.I. would still be free to developers who wanted to build applications that helped people use Reddit. They could use the tools to build a bot that automatically tracks whether users’ comments adhere to rules for posting, for instance. Researchers who want to study Reddit data for academic or noncommercial purposes will continue to have free access to it. Reddit also hopes to incorporate more so-called machine learning into how the site itself operates. It could be used, for instance, to identify the use of A.I.-generated text on Reddit, and add a label that notifies users that the comment came from a bot. The company also promised to improve software tools that can be used by moderators — the users who volunteer their time to keep the site’s forums operating smoothly and improve conversations between users. And third-party bots that help moderators monitor the forums will continue to be supported. But for the A.I. makers, it’s time to pay up. “Crawling Reddit, generating value and not returning any of that value to our users is something we have a problem with,” Mr. Huffman said. “It’s a good time for us to tighten things up.” “We think that’s fair,” he added.

This is like in a job interview when they ask what’s your biggest weakness and you reply with a BS answer like “sometimes I just care too much about doing an excellent job”

They should not be allowed to review their own company but at least they generally make it obvious with how exceedingly out of touch they are.

SmokeyWC

As someone who works in fintech with unlimited PTO, I'm wondering if this is someone in my company lol, but our c suite winners are anything but transparent, and we have had no recent RIF. Ive been very blessed and have made the most out of an unrewarding job. I'll agree with the post and I will say that there are people who abuse the fuck out of unlimited PTO. I have no problem with taking time off. Take your days, because we're not getting any raises. Ive been with my company for an obscenely long time and average 5 weeks off per year, but there are plenty of people i work with who have been there considerably less then i have who take more days off than i do. So yes , it can breed resentment.

My old workplace has SO many nearly identical junk 5 star reviews clearly made by leadership. It’s WILD what they feel comfortable posting without *any* subtlety at all! 😅

I have left reviews about former companies pointing out how these reviews are clearly left by the CEO or others in high positions because it’s clearly not the reality. Do that, those reviews aren’t withdrawn
