Kelly Kreth, the publicist (for god's sake!) for Dwelling Quest says she was unfairly fired after blogging "anonymously" about why she hated her employer and co-workers, including "the blond Nazi" HR woman.
Says Gawker, "we can’t imagine why a company would fire a publicist that’s been taking swipes at the company. How unethical."
She's also being threatened with a lawsuit. Astounding!
You think blogs are everything. The majority of the world has no idea what a blog even is... just follow the link (http://news.com.com/Did+you+say+dogging+or+blogging/2100-1026_3-5884517.html). I see that you NEGLECTED to leave this out our your articles. Blogs are just a pittance on the net and WAY out of the mainstream. Maybe you just stay away from topics you know little about (i.e. politics) and stick you a topic you ONLY claim you know anything about.

I NEVER said I hated my employer. There are 2 posts. TWO. in a sea of more than 1100 posts. One speaks specifically about the marketing assistant's rudeness to me. Clearly I didn't hate my employer and never alluded to as much. I returned to work for them after securing a higher paying job. In fact, I write about how much I liked my employer and missed my co-workers. All except the marketing asst. and even then there is only one mention.
Also, small point, but I never called her a "blonde nazi". Read the diary to get the exacts.
