Entirely anecdote, but I've heard of companies asking all their employees to give them good Glassdoor reviews.

There were stories here on HN (might dig them up) about how Glassdoor blackmails companies with "it would be a shame if your good reputation was ruined by some random bad reviews, eh?" and removes bad reviews for companies that hand over the dough :)

This is definitely a thing. The startup I used to work for did this a ton before they were acquired.

They would even request it during all-staff meetings.
