Technology Helps Employees Communicate Problems with Understanding and Evidence
Anne Glaberson details what DecodifyAI offers the market and employees
Some people work within cultures where the standard is that of highly-ethical beliefs, practices and conduct and where deviations from them are promptly identified and properly corrected. This, to no surprise of anyone, is not every workplace.
Anne Glaberson is the founder at Pathos X, which equips individuals with the tools they need to survive inhospitable workplaces and the creator of DecodifyAI, which provides insight and critically-necessary evidence to give “bad bosses and bullies no place to hide,” the company website communicates.
She says that the technology service offering is the first AI-powered "proof engine" for workplace harm.
“In a climate where half of employees have fled toxic workplaces and trust in HR is low, DecodifyAI provides what workers need most: proof,” Glaberson asserts.
“It meticulously scans workplace communications: emails, chats and meetings, transforming them into objective evidence of harmful behaviors like manipulation, exclusion and bias.”
She elaborates to show how this is accomplished.
“It captures these patterns in hard data, validating what people often feel but struggle to show,” Glaberson explains, adding, “Employees can go beyond gut feelings and see precisely what’s happening, turning fleeting impressions into solid evidence they can use to make informed decisions or push for change.”
She has written that it was “built it to empower individuals by analyzing the written and verbal communications they’re already part of."
Glaberson talks about how that can be beneficial in practice.
DecodifyAI serves employees best interests “by translating the subtleties of workplace communication into clear, data-backed insights,” she says.
“Rather than relying on vague feelings or half-remembered conversations, users gain private, objective evidence of the dynamics at play, identifying who's driving certain behaviors and how these patterns evolve over time.”
This results in meaningful understanding and increased confidence to move forward.
“This not only validates their perceptions, turning suspicion into certainty, but also offers them the power to act,” Glaberson says.
“With these insights, employees can decide whether to escalate concerns to HR, recalibrate their own strategies or set firm boundaries, all while feeling confident they’re acting on solid ground rather than guesswork.”
She wrote that "For whistleblowers, this means they're no longer stumbling through their story alone. They have behavioral clarity. They can show the pattern — who did what, when and how often and most importantly, they can back it up.
“When everything is designed to silence or discredit you, having your own forensic analysis in your hands isn't just validating, it’s survival."
This likely will be encouraging and helpful to a person’s emotions, psychology and well-being. Glaberson discusses how the technology works for employees to responsibly and ethically utilize the assistance.
It “is built to give whistleblowers a discreet, data-driven way to protect themselves and validate their claims,” she says. “It keeps everything private and in the user's hands. Employees run DecodifyAI on their personal devices, away from company monitoring, and they decide which communication channels to analyze.”
Glaberson briefly delves into how the technology runs.
“The platform encrypts all data and stores reports securely, focusing on behavior and language patterns like power dynamics and tone shifts,” she explains. “Federal law and the National Labor Relations Act protects employees documenting potentially hostile working conditions, overriding state laws and company policies.
It “is built to safely gather real evidence of workplace harm and ensure employees aren't left to fight invisible battles alone.”
Coming forward is a dangerous act in multiple ways and requires courage.
"Whistleblowing has always been a lonely act of truth-telling against power,” Glaberson has written. “We’re giving people the one thing they’ve always lacked: leverage."
When asked about what that looks like, she was quick with an answer.
It is done “by turning the invisible into the irrefutable. It transforms gut feelings and isolated incidents into clear, data-backed evidence of systemic problems,” Glaberson says. “No more hazy stories.
“DecodifyAI delivers concrete, time-stamped proof of recurring harm like discrimination, undermining and manipulation.”
Order and timing are important in most all strategy and it’s no different with this technology to help people protect and defend themselves when something needs to be said and brought into the light.
“It's best to begin documenting as soon as troubling patterns are noticed,” Glaberson recommends. “Early use lets individuals build a robust record over time, giving them insight and leverage before issues escalate.”
The “real risk” these days, she warns, “is being unprotected.”
There is comforting news.
“Employees can build a case without ever confronting a boss or involving HR, sidestepping the very real threat of retaliation,” Glaberson says.
“While DecodifyAI watches in the background, they gain leverage for negotiation, legal accountability or liberation.”
