That would be the desired effect for those seeking to enter the real estate market for the first time, but it would be disastrous for those who took out mortgages in the last few years, and it would be unwelcome to those who owned their homes longer and consider it a large (or only) asset in their personal wealth. I doubt that real estate prices will be allowed to drop much, simply because homeowners vote more reliably than renters, and they won't vote against their own financial interests.
How does a US company go about performing a criminal background check on an employee from Canada? From what I gather, you have to be a Canadian citizen to run a background check on another Canadian citizen.
The "we over hired" line is mostly made up. Many of these companies did not substantially increase their head count. This has more to do with improving P&L numbers to get their stock up, since most companies' revenue is tanking currently.
$15 minimum wage is not something to be proud of. That's just over $30k a year. If you know someone that makes that little, you know how personally unsustainable that level of income is.
Happened to me. Switched to digital marketing. I really like it. I still code sometimes but it's never more than 20% of my week. Had to learn basic design, UX, CMSs, CRMS, CDPs, marketing automation etc.
Long story short, there is a huge shortage of competent digital folks in the marketing world. I really like the work and the pay is similar.
Luckily, it's pretty easy to spot fake reviews on Glassdoor. Unfortunately though, it kind of ruins the experience for most people.
The two big mobile app stores have been flooded with spam reviews for over 5 years now unchecked. For those that know how to spot fake reviews, it's easy to tell which apps are not legit. For most consumers though, they just believe what they see.
So... it's pretty easy to find reviews that you are confident are fake, and you're probably right about most of them.
But that only leaves us an uncorrupted signal if, given a review you have deemed authentic, it actually has a good chance of being so. Do you know that that's the case? How?
I'm not sure it's true in your case, but statements like this are often made when people don't realize they're (implicitly) marking their predictions against those same predictions.
Not OP, but how many times have I seen, under Management Feedback, "keep doing what you're doing!"? No, I don't mean paraphrased, I mean word-for-word. That's was a few years back, back when I thought Glassdoor was worth paying attention to. I'm sure whatever HR conference they all communally go to has new guidance for gaming reviews, and the phrase has changed since.
This was my exact experience working at Nike 4 years ago. In this scenario, I was the guy sitting. I got this type of "talking to" when I submitted a bug ticket because jQuery was being loaded 3 times on the same page.
The Nike.com software group was over 1,000 employees working on a microservices mess that performed horribly on the customer side. They could have built a much better product with about 50 competent software professionals.
Brooks's Law in effect, same as in all the other places where managers believe that 9 women working together could make a baby in one month. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks%27s_law
