They advertise using interest rates and loan agreements (to individuals), or if they're working with large corporations or governments, why would they need a tiktoker? Secondly, Influencers are actually controlled by businesses. Influencers are seen as high risk methods of product endorsement, because they are unpredictable and often do silly things. As such, businesses require Influencers to sign multiple agreements to monitor their public image and behaviour. If the Influencer messes up, they get dropped.

She did nothing wrong. She didn't say anything bad about something critical or something. She just tested a soda.. And get fired. This is mean..

[@blank2243]

I agree it is mean. But I don’t think that was all that met their eyes. It was clear that she wanted to indulge in the new found attention, and being a meme has its consequences on the dignity of someone. So if the bank had clients go to her, they probably won’t take her seriously or be like “oh, you’re the kombucha girl!” and it may or may not affect the image and productivity of the bank as a corporate space. I dont think that was a risk they were willing to take.

They could've atleast gave her a position w/c isn't client facing and more of a back office position that's all. She was willing to stay and the bank let her go because of a meme she didn't even intended too? I think it isn't fair, the company/bank was just selfish. Glad she is doing good now.

[@cymjeff92]

@@pumpkinspice4841 well, first, we only heard her side of the story. For all we know they did offer her a different position but she refused to take it (this has happened to at least 1 reality TV star and she represented herself poorly to get pity and public backlash on their company, when there was more to the story). Also, its a company with a goal to make money..... Being selfish is part of their motto. The fact is that she could misrepresent the company based on nothing she had done nor the company. A big client may refuse to do business with the bank because of her and the company did nothing wrong and neither did all the other staffs involved. So yes, they are being selfish and when you think about it, they made the right decision. She is happy and the bank get back to its status quo.

[@madameblackimusprime]

This is eye-opening for people who make memes of other people without their knowledge. Corporate image or not. She had no control over what happened to her. Wanting to have a comedic online presence has nothing to do with how people chose to use her image. That's horrible. Arguably it turned out well for her in the end but it should make people think about how their actions may ruin someone's life.

[@sarahberkner]

Yes she did, they gave her a choice whether to keep making videos and being an online personality or not, as she said in the video.

[@dreamsofkaia7275]

The fact that she got fired for becoming a meme from something that wasn’t even vulgar or offensive that she posted is ridiculous to me. Like other ppl took her content and manipulated it. How is that her fault?? That being said, I’m glad to hear it was only up from there. I guess everything happens for a reason.

[@johnn.5033]

I think it was less the “content” that her video/likeness was being used for, and more the liability of a having an employee become so public for something that isn’t associated with the standards of the company. It was probably more to ensure that anything that the image was used didn’t come into affiliation with the bank.

[@panda5122]

She continued creating content after the first meme. I think continued content was what created the liability. If it was a one off picture, it probably would have been different. But even still, this shows the risk of uploading your photos and videos to social media. Once you post it, your image can be manipulated and reused without knowing it.

[@cutienerdgirl]

@@johnn.5033 It wasn't her fault people used her likeness for inappropriate memes. People took it upon themselves to do that. Employers can't fire you over sh*t you can't control.
