Just thought that I'd share with you that Glassdoor uses public data to add your name and other personal information to your account, so you should probably deactivate your account. Not delete your account; there's no option for you to be able to remove all PII from their website (cries in American)
If you don't know why this is bad: Glassdoor is a website designed to collect anonymous reviews of employers, so that people can get an honest idea of how it is to work there. Linking any personal information means that people can lose their jobs. But they developed this whole other site called Fishbowl to connect people, which needs your real name, and decided that you have to have the same account for both services, and if they can get your real name from any other service, they should go ahead and automatically add it to make it easy on you.
In any case, you should now consider Glassdoor fully compromised. You will have to add personal information in order to get to the page to deactivate your account, such as your birthday and real name, but they don't have to be your real real name. Lots of folks born on 1970-01-01 I'd think.
