The case of a disgruntled foreign lawyer at a Chinese law firm is now definitely getting out of hand. Danwei reports they saw (and got screen shots) at Google ads of what appears to be a fake ad of the Zhong Lun Law Firm that in fact leads to the weblog of the lawyer.
I first decided to follow this case. An employee using a weblog to get even with an employer is an interesting case, regardless who is right or wrong. Obvious, Jeff Brauer was angry and it is always nice to have a peek in those private affairs.
The original post has now been deleted, after Jeff got a visit from his former boss and managing partner he perceived as threatening. But at least the managing partner promised him he would get the money he was entitled to and Jeff would delete the blog. He then did delete some entries but went on to disclose some practises at his former law firm that would suggest bribing judges. When you are in it for a compensation, not the best way to please your former employer.
Other, now deleted, posts had already raised my doubts on his ability to make sound judgments on what is really happening in China (here one in the Google-catch).
Obvious Jeff sees China as a country where law has no value and he has now decided to ignore the law himself. That might again illustrate some rather poor judgment skills that would become a major problem in seeking new employment.
Update: Well, the case seems to be settled, out of court and out of the blogs.
