  Hello,
  We had an employee who was working on our blogs and they have now left us and changed all logins to contributor. Is there a way for us to regain access to our blogs and freeze this employee out of working on the blogs?

  No. He or she is the actual owner of the blog.

  Companies, groups, organizations, etc. do not own blogs. Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and their associated email address.

  The blog’s owner must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard and transfer the blog to another username account. https://en.support.wordpress.com/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/

  Therefore, you need to reconcile your differences with the blog’s actual owner.
