  > I don't think that's an issue. What's the company going to do, prove what a great place to work they are by suing a former employee? Yes. Because if they win, the person making the claims has to retract them publicly and the original statements are usually destroyed. The threshold of defamation varies from place to place -- in some jurisdictions truth is only a partial defence. And, if they genuinely are pricks, they will sue because they are. In the meantime, the respondent has to rack up hairy legal bills. > I just think that if you're so moved by your experience that you need to write a blog post about it, you should say who you're writing about so others may try and avoid your fate. You're asking them to externalise the benefit and internalise the risk. Most ordinary people don't have the financial position to sustain it. Defamation is serious business. It can really smash your finances, even if you win. A spiteful company, of the sort people write about, is the sort that sues at the drop of a hat.
