(Wal-Mart) and the ugly aftermath that saw both the parties engage in legal (as well as public) battle. Roehm was a highflier in the automotive industry who had earned a name for herself due to her edgy advertising tactics. In early 2006, she was hired by Wal-Mart in the newly created position of Senior Vice President of Marketing Communication. This was viewed by some analysts as the retail giant's move to shake up its marketing department. However, in late2006, Roehm was fired from the company amidst rumors of her violating Wal-Mart's ethics and gratuity policy. Shortly afterwards, Roehm filed a civil suit against Wal-Mart for unlawfully terminating her employment, infringing compensation agreements, and for slandering her in the press. In reply Wal-Mart accused her of violating its employment policies.
