Vous ne pouvez pas démasquer un auteur d'avis Glassdoor — voici ce qui peut réellement faire supprimer un avis

Can Businesses Remove Glassdoor Reviews?

Dans des cas limités — Glassdoor supprime les avis qui ne reflètent pas une relation d'emploi réelle, divulguent des informations confidentielles de l'entreprise, contiennent des attaques personnelles ou du harcèlement, ou relèvent du discours haineux, de la diffamation ou du spam. Les employeurs ne peuvent légalement pas contraindre Glassdoor à supprimer un avis authentique et conforme aux règles, et tenter d'identifier ou de faire pression sur un auteur d'avis tend à transformer un avis négatif en problème public bien plus grave.

"Delete" and "remove" mean the same thing here — Glassdoor doesn't let a business unilaterally delete a review either way. Both routes go through the same flagging process against the same content guidelines below.

Which Glassdoor Reviews Can Be Removed?

Glassdoor evaluates a flagged review against specific categories, regardless of how positive or negative it is. A review is a genuine candidate for removal if:

• It doesn't reflect a genuine employment relationship. The reviewer was never actually employed there, or is posting on behalf of a business they have no real working relationship with.
• Conflict of interest. The review comes from a competitor, a vendor with an axe to grind, or someone with an undisclosed commercial or personal stake in damaging the company.
• Confidential or proprietary information. The review discloses internal financial data, trade secrets, or other non-public company information the reviewer had access to only because of their job.
• Harassment, hate speech, threats, or discriminatory content. Attacks on a person or group based on protected characteristics, or threats of violence, regardless of whether they're attached to a genuine work experience.
• Personal attacks on named individuals. Content that goes after a specific coworker or manager by name in a way that crosses from describing their management style into personal harassment.
• Defamatory content or unsubstantiated claims of illegal conduct. Statements that go beyond a bad experience and allege specific criminal or illegal behavior without any basis.

How to Report or Flag a Glassdoor Review

Reporting works best when the flag names a specific, checkable guideline violation rather than simply disagreeing with the review — "this reviewer has no matching record with us" is actionable; "this isn't fair" generally isn't. See Glassdoor’s community guidelines for the current process directly from Glassdoor.

What If Glassdoor Refuses to Remove the Review?

If the review doesn't violate Glassdoor's guidelines, removing it may not be an available option — that's the realistic outcome for most negative reviews, since being genuine and unflattering isn't a policy violation. In that situation, the focus shifts from deletion to the overall profile: a thoughtful public response to the review that stays up, and a larger base of genuine reviews so a single negative one carries proportionally less weight in the average.
