play stupid games, win stupid prizes. when you screw someone over, they might tell others about it. that's kinda the idea of glassdoor?

How come companies think that they can act like A-holes and still keep a good reputation. ...and how can they think that you even care about their reputation, after they have pulled that stunt on you? It is like the entire concept of how a review works and what its entire purpose is haven't dawned on them. A good reputation is something you earn by doing good stuff and treating people right, how hard can it be? Since there is nothing untrue about what was written, leave it up there -hopefully that will teach them a lesson about bad actions and the consequenses they have. It's a million dollar company, and so what? Those usually pull some really nasty tricks when they can profit from it, which only means that there is much more reason to expose them and their scams, and the destroyed lives they create in the process. Don't give up whatever little power you still have, just to please them.

This is the entire point of glass door, indeed, and other employer review sites. Employers have long abused employees and applicants and finally there is some recourse to even the table. Provided you said nothing untruthful, they have no case. In fact, you are doing a favor to others by warning them. Recently, I too left a job for another than 7 weeks later was fired at the new job, Fortunately I negotiated a severance clause for any termination under a year. I left my old position because the hours were insane and more and more tasks kept piling on. The new job was not what they claimed it was and the commute far. The problem is now it's hard to find new work when you're not working. My severance won't last forever. You did right. I will be doing the same too.

If the truth about your behavior ruins your reputation, you deserve to have a bad reputation.

dear arsehole company, it's only libel if it's not true. your sincerely ...

Wow! Company has a LOT of nerve!

Have you ever considered that offering you a job, making site you resign from your current position, and then rescindong the offer is a trick to make youil esperate enough to accept a lowball salary?

No good lawyer will take this on contingency. It's hard to prove and a big company will drag this case out for years until your lawyer spends so much time and money on your case that he'll never make a profit. If the review is factual leave it up, but be prepared to be sued if they are that kind of company.

I don’t understand how they can sign a contract and then withdraw it just like that. And then complaining over a bad review when they know what they just did?? They are acting like spoiled children. I wonder if they treat their business partners the same way? 🤔 In Sweden the trade unions have some influence and can help with money if you lose your job, but I’ve read that they don’t have much influence in America. Or do they? OP should go to the newspapers with the story. Especially the part about the company demanding that the review should be taken down.

If I were in OP's situation, I'd consider updating the review on Glassdoor to include that the company had contacted OP, as well as, OP's recruiter, to demand removal of the review.

In America, of you have something like this happen, look into the legal concept called reliance damages. You can sue them and win in most states.

Leave the bad review up. Forget about the lawyer. The review makes a better impact than the cost involved in a lawsuit, which even if won, would gain really nothing.

I think biblosaurus had the best response!
