One of my employers, a manufacturer of steel buildings, filed Chapter 11. Payroll was held up, and a lot of our staff were very upset. This was the largest company in the parish, so the local press was camped out at every single exit, waiting for someone to say something.
One of our secretaries, ticked off that her paycheck wasn't going to come on time, made the gross error of talking about it on camera, without permission or authority, saying some derogatory, and reputedly slanderous, things about the owner and his secretary.
It turned out that this caused a panic with some of our vendors, as it made the scene look worse than it was (although it was pretty grim). The owner and most of his inner circle were barred from the property, making it impossible for them to do any of the work to recover the company's finances. The owner lost everything, and a trustee took over, eventually selling the firm to another local businessman. The secretary's name around the company and in the community was "mud", even after she quit a couple of days later.
It's a good object lesson on *why* press relations are closely monitored by businesses, and aren't left to the uninformed or unauthorized.
