We are so sick of all this Julie Roehm crap. Oh wait. No we’re not. Are you kidding? Of course we’re not. This is great shit to write about. So now she’s suing Wal-mart for breach of employment contract and demanding the return of certain files and items from her office such as paint and a step ladder she left in her office. Aside from all the boring legal crap, perhaps the best line in the entire Advertising Age article about this latest chapter in the saga is, “Among the changes Ms. Roehm effected during her 11-month tenure at Wal-Mart: She painted her office.” Classic. Priceless. Hilarious.
While she has concerns over what she believes is money owed her according to her contract, when she appeared today at a panel on the worth of Super Bowl advertising, she said her Wal-Mart dismissal was a “blessing.” Certainly a strange comment to make on the eve of issuing a lawsuit against the employer that delivered that “blessing.” Oh whatever, so the saga continues, wasting bit and bytes off online press space and killing trees all to regurgitate the same old crap: she wasn’t a fit for Wal-Mart and they canned her ass. Get over it. Move on.
