Banker caught ogling on TV will keep job
Macquarie Bank worker Dave Kiely was at his desk as a colleague was being interviewed about interest rates when the camera showed him apparently opening e-mail attachments of nearly nude photos of the model.
The clip became a YouTube hit and other media broadcast it during prime-time Tuesday.
Australia-born Kerr, 26, who is engaged to "Pirates of the Caribbean" star Orlando Bloom, had said she hoped Kiely would not lose his job.
"I am told there is a petition to save his job, and of course I would sign it," news.com.au quoted her as saying.
On Friday, Macquarie said in a statement it had completed an internal review and Kiely would keep his job.
"Macquarie and the employee apologize for any offense that may have been caused," the bank said.
London-based financial news-based Web site, Here is the City, had set up an e-mail campaign to help Kiely, saying he should not get fired because he has suffered enough and the pictures weren't hardcore porn.
