A very good set of prompts, thanks for taking the time to think of them.
- On Glassdoor: I assume it's mostly-anonymous replies are an issue. Has anyone verified what is posted there, say comparing it to official data or something? You're of course right that it's a place to start. I'm more troubled by the lack of sleuthing done before accepting an offer to uncover the blindingly obvious problems.
-How to encourage others to call out bad behavior? I don't see an easy answer there. The power differential is still there. If a VP humiliates a subordinate, another subordniate may not have the power to change behavior. Ideally a complaint goes up to the VP level and a discussion is had there (or higher).
- On unions: I've heard this passed around for years, most famously when Steve Jobs's posthumous testimony was in that hiring/collusion lawsuit. I think it's mostly an academic issue at this point similar to other pre-union industries: it's a challenge getting highly-paid employees to favor organizing (and possibly a lower wage) for the benefits.
