Whilst I'm not entirely onboard with the OP's original suggestions (for somewhat different reasons), it's absolutely not unprofessional to "name and shame" bad ex-clients and (particularly) employees. So long as everything is kept on a purely objective level, it's very much the correct thing to do. Call it due diligence if you will.Originally posted by northernladuk View PostWhy lower yourself to their level. Man up, move on and just be content you left and are now in a better place.
Suppliers smearing ex clients and their employees is childish and unprofessional.
After all, isn't this exactly what clients do to us and their employees? Why else do you think you're forced to provide references before getting a whiff of a gig?Comment

However Pud was also in the USA which is far more liberal than the UK when it comes to freedom of speech.
As for doing this in the UK well there are companies I won't work with but that doesn't mean I should criticise the people in those companies as others may get on with them just fine - I just don't willingly suffer foolsmerely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
