Recently resigned from an employer that was so bad I'm reluctant to mention them (multinational IT business) would you hide an employer from your CV and why?

My wife is a business writer and she routinely fails to mention some gigs because they corrupt her work product in ways that she doesn't want to be connected to it as people could easily think she doesn't know WTF she's doing. For example she'll be asked to write a press release, will do it in proper AP style and then they'll edit it before releasing it so it looks like a total noob job. Or she'll ghost write something for a CEO and match it to the style requirements of the publication and then the CEO or staff will edit it so that it's a piece of crap. The latter is not so bad because a ghost writer can't cite it as their work anyway, inherently -- but still.
At least when I write software it goes into a version control system and if anyone else screws it up, there's proof.

When you leave a gap in a resume you will most certainly be asked about it! Everyone knows this, so I question your question....

Of course I understand this. The only questions to be concerned about are those you do not have a plausible answer to, backed up by a credible and unimpeachable reference. ?
i have had crappy jobs and i don't even remember whether i included them in my resume when i was looking for jobs; it's been ages since i've needed a resume. i don't think there is anything wrong with leaving employers off if you can more or less legitimately account for the time gap. if it was a short employment that's easy. if long... well, prospective employers WILL want to know what you were doing during that time.

)In UK, I have only had two employers, the NHS and now the university. Nurses work hard and at one point there was a lot of bullying in the NHS. Its a lot better now. HE is notorious for high pressured working environments but colleagues are usually very supportive. Unions...the only way
