Glassdoor is getting a pretty big update.

You might know Glassdoor as the place where you can screen a future employer (or spill the details on a former one), but this latest update adds hubs, called “bowls,” where you can chat with other people in specific job fields, like tech or consulting.

Glassdoor is also adding places where you can chat with coworkers and managers at the company you currently work “with varying levels of anonymity.” To me, all this sounds kinda like a work-oriented version of Reddit, and seems like a logical next step for a site filled with employee reviews.

Here’s what the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s big cover display could look like in action.

A set of images obtained by reliable leaker Roland Quandt and later posted to 9to5Google shows all the ways you might be able to use the upcoming foldable’s cover display.

In addition to the ability to take selfies, it looks like there are also keyboard, calendar, weather, call history, and boarding pass widgets. While the Galaxy Z Flip 4 already offers some of these widgets on its 1.9-inch cover screen, the extra screen real estate on the Z Flip 5 should make them much easier to use.

Roblox employees reportedly aren’t satisfied with the company’s diversity efforts.

According to a report from Bloomberg, over “a dozen current and former employees” believe the company isn’t doing enough to hire and promote women and people of color.

Internal metrics provided to Bloomberg indicate that both executives and standard employees at Roblox “skew heavily male.” The company also “has no targets around hiring or promoting diverse employees,” Bloomberg reports, and instead hires people based on an “unbiased system.”

Google lists “additional facts” to prove it’s not misleading video advertisers.

The findings from Adalytics published last month suggested that Google broke its own rules on video ads by placing ads in small, muted video players on sites and letting them play on repeat.

Now Google claims Adalytics used faulty methodology, citing third-party data showing video ads mostly run on YouTube, as promised, and not outside sites. It also claims the report “ignores or is unaware” that even if an ad is shown on another site, that doesn’t mean the advertiser was charged for it.
