Two factors matter in these scenarios: identifying the reviewer and proving it.

Employees can maintain anonymity by avoiding specific work anecdotes ("My manager A did B"), using ChatGPT for rephrasing, and delaying their review (a few months after the experience).

Employers must prove the reviewer's identity for legal remedy, but Glassdoor may issue damning alerts about employers who do so. Even then, using Tor and temporary emails with fake names offers protection to the employee.

By making it difficult to both figure out who wrote the review and prove it, I think employees are safe posting their genuine exp online.

I also believe it's totally morally fine if the reviews are accurate. It may break the ToS of Glassdoor to use a fake name, for example, but an authentic peek into what's going on in corps benefits both society and Glassdoor itself.
