In a Thursday, Nov. 19, 2009 file photo Miranda Kerr walks the runway during the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show at the Lexington Armory in New York.
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.
