No. Your reviews are confidential and anonymous. Once you submit a review, nobody sees it again -- not even you. Your workplace comments are visible however. We do not sign them, although you are free to do so in your comments.

Any rating system can be scammed -- period. You can scam SAT scores and you can scam credit scores. You can scam the reviews of restaurants, books, or hotels. And of course you can scam employers by exaggerating claims on your resume. That's the scam that WorkScore helps to end.

So of course WorkScore can be scammed. But we make it very inconvenient.

-- You can create ten fake references who give you ten fake reviews and produce a fake WorkScore. But you need to find ten people to answer real phone calls from any serious employer. And you can do all that without bothering to get a WorkScore.

-- You could collude with a group of people to give yourselves great reviews. But if they actually collude, it shows statistically -- and computers are really good at statistics.

-- You cannot create fake workplace reviews unless you control email accounts for your company. We require a work email address before we let you review a workplace as an employee.

So if you are inclined to scams, stick with inflating your resume and providing ceremonial references. If, on the other hand, you want to give potential employers a much more complete picture of who you are and what you are good at than they will get from your resume, then WorkScore is a good tool for you.

No. If you say thanks to someone, they get the message along with your name. If they appreciate it (usually because you were specific), they can leave it as part of their WorkScore. Or they can delete it.

No. Your description is entirely confidential and contains no writing that might disclose your identity. The person whose skills you describe does not see your ratings. They tell us how much weight to give your description -- and you have the same control when someone describes your skills. But your description is entirely confidential.

No. You control who sees your WorkScore on the "Shared WorkScores" page. You decide who can see your WorkScore and how long their access lasts. 

No. A manager can ask you to serve as a reference, leave you thanks, rate your skills and achievements just like anyone else you work with. But they cannot see your reviews or know if you have reviewed your workplace.

No.

Workplace Scores are public so that job candidates can find places to work that fit their priorities and so that everyone can measure efforts to improve their workplace.
