Not being in the mood to pay a lawyer, I wouldn't even contribute to such a
list if I had a client or employer to complain about. But if you ask me how
working for a particular company was, and I'm not on a non-disclosure
contract, and I don't think you are acting on behalf of the company
involved, I will probably answer honestly. And, in every case but one, the
answer will be pleasing to the company involved.

I hope this intrepid soul has a good lawyer. Publishing a "bad
employers" list on the web? Not a good idea, in my opinion. In fact, a
downright dangerous idea, since it could result in a few libel suits.
Of course, I'm not a laywer, and I don't even play one on TV.
