  • WheeGeetheCat@sh.itjust.workstoProgramming@programming.dev•Opinion on Glassdoor for tech jobs?

    I generally assume their ratings are gamed, especially for smaller shops. I know I've been asked recently (in the last year) to review the company I'm currently working at on glassdoor by a superior. As you can imagine, I gave the place a good review.

    A year later, they've laid me and all but 1 dev (the CEOs buddy) off and failed to do basic shit like send COBRA info and agreed upon severance payments, but their glassdoor doesn't reflect that, because glassdoor doesn't make it possible to edit reviews past 30 days. I suppose I could go delete the review at least

    Here's my American Healthcare story:

    • snap finger bone, go to urgent care to get splint
    • pay 50ish dollars that day
    • 2 months later, get bill for 200 dollars
    • ahah! everyone says to ask for an itemized bill! do that
    • get itemized bill back that claims the 200 charge is for 'visiting with a doctor with knowledge of medical history' (paraphrasing)
    • contest charge because I did not see a doctor, and splinting a snapped finger does not require any fucking context at all
    • get runaround for 2 months, while being threatened with late fees
    • finally they say they will adjust the bill
    • get new bill for $201, 'for a visit that did not include a doctor' (no fucking joke)

    welcome the USA, where healthcare operations are scams

    (these are just 2 of the scams in my state, thanks to shell companies when one is shut, another opens)

    edit: and in case anyone thinks I paid that shit, I didn't. I sent them a polite version of a 'fuck you' reply. Then covid hit and I never heard from them again.
