Glassdoor employee reviews are becoming brutal. Consistently brutal

I think it's common after layoffs for people to give negative Glassdoor reviews. It's one of the reasons historically big tech has been quiet about layoffs and now since layoffs seem to boost the stock price, they are more public about even the smallest layoffs. Framing performance firing as a layoff and giving a comfortable severance package is the new norm to protect against negative blowback.
I would agree that those reviews are fairly negative given people have to have some kind of non disparagement clause in this situation and people risk that because they are SO upset.
