An American judge has just ruled in favour of kiwi toy company Zuru (valued at well over a billion dollars) — meaning it will be handed the details of former Zuru employees who posted anonymous reviews on the Glassdoor site. One roommate is 85, the other is 27. Such arrangements are growing.Cathy Free | The Washington Post ‘We’ll be friends for life,’ Siobhan Ennis said of her roommate, who is 58 years her senior.
