How pathetic can you get?

All those nights, Beth was writing positive review after positive review from 20 different accounts and all she had to do was pay Bangladesh $500.00! That’s one hour of her labor, so the shareholders got screwed on that one!
I’m putting my honest review on indeed here in a little bit. I will be brutally honest. If I could help one person avoid this company I would feel like I did my good deed for the week.
UP once again shows the world that it doesn’t understand technology.
There are IT firms (usually based in peripheral countries where English is taught as a second language) who have teams of paid reviewers whose only job is to spam websites like Glassdoor with favorable reviews for the company paying for their services. If you see a positive review written in generic terms using dodgy English you can assume that this is where it came from.
Why UP would try to arm-twist employees coming to Omaha for training into leaving positive reviews is beyond comprehension. For a flat fee they could pay someone to generate enough spam to push the CEO approval rating to 20%, which is probably why they care about it to begin with.
@yud - So you taught management classes for years in Omaha huh?
So in a way, the complete collapse of the UP leadership culture in recent years and the toxicity that now permeates the entire company as a result is your fault then. Maybe you should own that before commenting any further.
@1azx: Are you sure about that?
I can list five separate incidents with the same person on a single out of service event that would have gotten them fired from any other company immediately. After reporting them not only were they not fired, but they also kept their position as a manager, a position that they were clearly never qualified to hold to begin with due to lack of qualifications and poor temperament.
Hardly a day went by at UP where some form of verbal abuse or mistreatment of employees by other employees or managers didn’t happen. If you’re denying this then you’re part of the problem.
There’s a reason why UP is the worst place to work in the United States.
UP doesn’t fire people for being abusive they become executives.
The individual using foul language probably has mental issues. Please see a therapist before it’s to late. UP fires people for being abusive.
OP: Having employees leave falsely positive reviews for UP is a blatant violation of Glassdoor’s policy, and to allow UP to do that and get away with it would undermine the credibility of the website, and therefore the very thing that makes the website profitable.
The fact that UP would have to stoop to telling employees to leave such reviews says something about the degenerative nature of the UP corporate culture at large.
I left UP some time ago (it was a brief pit-stop, not a career), but I’ve been told recently that a Certain Individual is more than little miffed about their single-digit approval rating on Glassdoor, and that this hasn’t gone unnoticed amongst other members of the executive class. It will take more than a few coerced positive reviews on Glassdoor to fix that. UP is taking a kicking on Indeed too, and whomever UP hired to generate positive reviews for them there is working overtime to keep UP at a 3.0 rating.
Isn’t the internet fun?
Lol
Well if u taught management classes for years in Omaha sounds like you need to freeze dry your nuts. But anyway, they’ve been asking the leadership development classes lately to leave positive reviews on Glassdoor.
I use to teach the management classes for years and I’ve never handed out a Glassdoor survey. Fake news,
Asking employees to lie, sounds about right for these greedy higher ups. This company has gone to hell, only question is......how long can they keep these tactics going?
Someone should call this out on Glassdoor. Write it in your review.
