Wal-Mart's fired gal fires back

Posted by Fired Fred on May 25, 2007 4:44 PM
The marketing pro who was going to turn staid old Wal-Mart into the hippest thing since the hula hoop has returned with a vengeance. Julie Roehm is accusing the top Wal-Martian of doing to the company what she's been accused of doing with her subordinate assistant.

Oh yeah, you can bet your Crocs there's a lawsuit happening...
In the latest salvo aimed at her employer, fired Wal-Mart marketing executive Julie Roehm claimed in a court filing that CEO Lee Scott misused the company's ethics policy and accepted trips and received preferential prices on yachts and jewelry from Jacobs.

In the documents filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court in Detroit, Roehm - who is challenging Wal-Mart's charges of improprieties like accepting gifts from vendors and having an affair with a subordinate - also attacked other senior executives for accepting trips, concert tickets and other gifts from vendors.
She got fired in December of last year, as did her alleged paramour, Sean Womack. Three months later, they were sharing a stage in Hollywood. That's because they're such great friends, don't you know?

I understand julie's problem Walmart is a bad company who would probably do something that low. I use to work for them and quit because of the garbage they do.
