> Current employees are afraid to say anything as spez reads Blind and complains about it at all hands. 100% he will try to rat out who is speaking. Not worth it.

Are employees worried he knows someone who works at Blind who can reverse lookup emails? By all appearances, no one's ever been identified on Blind in the 6 or 7 years it's been popular (with the exception of people who shared too much personal info). Seems like Blind really does throw the email away.

I mean technically any large corp can very easily find out who is on blind.

Every large corp has email filtering and logs. Easily just look for the employees who received the verification email from signing up to Blind w their work email addy bc you gotta use your corpo email address to join and comment there.

I'd be able to look at our logs and find that in just a few min.

Since it seems Spez is such a lil sensitive c-suite sf bro type, he'd be able to get that info no problem.

If 50% of your employees get Blind emails, good luck identifying them. I would hope they aren't clicking through the verification email from their work machine, but I've seen some ignorant ICs in my time.

Once your company is a certain size, work emails only get sent to work devices. Not sure what you’re getting at with hoping they’re not clicking through from their work computer. Of course they are.

But yes if a high enough percentage of employees are signing up, there’s safety in numbers.

Once it arrives on your work device you are free to type it into your phone manually (this is me since I don't value my free time), forward the email elsewhere, or more recently take a phone pic of the url string and have the OS turn into text for you.

But I agree, having spent enough time reading the absurdities on Blind and wondering how some of these people got their $500k+ yearly comp without understanding how computers work, a majority of people are definitely most likely simply clicking the link on their work device.

The phone app is better, though.

Plenty of large corps have email retention times set, to avoid having to pass old emails to lawyers during discovery.

If you're doing it at receive time, then adding them to a table, sure, but that doesn't get you a backfill
