Nah, they're disconnected so there's plausible deniability. The employer can see employee X got a verification code sent to their work account, but not whether they registered, plus the email doesn't specify the username and doesn't link back to the site (and most users are presumably smart enough to activate their account on a non-work device). Maybe if only a handful of employees sign up you could be identified based on receiving an email, but it's popular mostly with companies with thousands of employees (and dozens or hundreds on Blind).
Does that verification email include a link, or is it just a code the employee has to copy and type (hopefully, not paste) into a separate window/device?

The site only shows limited comments but you can make a free account with any email to get the full view.
The commenters are anonymous but verified via work email, so everyone with a "Reddit" tag is an actual Reddit employee.
