      Although it is now called “deactivate”

      Which is funny, because after doing so they give you a popup messaging explicitly stating that your account is deleted.

      Can’t trust them at all.

      If you truly want it gone, you need to use their special form: https://help.glassdoor.com/s/privacyrequest?language=en_US

        Companies like to keep posts/comments/other data, but they rarely keep the history of changes you’ve made to that data.

        So before deleting the account, replace all the data in it with garbage. Then it wont matter if they keep it.

          Shouldn’t you change your account info to something fictitious, though?

            I am not sure if it matters as long as it is NOT true.

            But I can see how making it some what believable might be more effective. Does anyone know?

              The joke was that your name is actually Bigdick Daddy.

        Before you delete your comments and reviews change them to something very basic and neutral?
