I also believe this time around people are bold enough to show they don't care enough for the job at times, some meaning a lot of some lol just wanna get paid for doing nothing. Usually for that I see that in younger people like teens to young adults like 16 to 22, feeling like they wont be there forever but when the job gets cut short before their schedule of going off to college or other things then here comes the waterworks lol. Also there can be nice people who work hard but can positively film just to show what its like at their job if its complete mayhem and just get fired cause corporate saw their video. I swear the only ones I see don't get fired are managers but they tend to do marketing stuff in my experience on social media for the company so meh.

We can discuss whether it's right or wrong to film yourself at work until the end of times but to me personally, the wildest thing is how some people refuse to keep ANY sphere of their lives to themselves. People were not meant to have access to each other's business like that 24/7.

[@Ana-me.]

This is being presented as if the school doesn’t want the kids to know their rights and that is NOT what this is about. Among the five concerns listed, was instructional alignment (quick google search definition: ensuring that a learning experience's objectives, assessments, and content are in agreement) and if you actually read the document behind her, she wasn’t complying with that. A very simple example would be if you walked into a geometry class and the teacher’s lesson that day was about WWI. They weren’t “concerned” she was teaching them about their rights, they were asking her to explain how it is relevant to the curriculum. They also questioned a Harry Potter book she had the class reading. She probably got fired because the video, which completely misrepresented the situation, was the last straw after having several issues with her not doing her job properly.

One night, it had been hours and they hadn't shown up with my pain medication. So I called my mom. She called the station on 3-way and I got to hear the nurse say, "He's just sitting in there watching TV, he doesn't need any pain medicine." My mother went off! She told her that it wasn't her job to decide if I needed it. It was her job to give it to me when I requested it! I absolutely hate hospitals. Personally, I can't stand social media. Everytime I opened my Facebook page, I'd be hit with pictures of dead babies "needing prayers" and folks saying the most ridiculous stuff. (When I questioned them on it, I was usually blocked.)

As someone working law, unless you sign a contract (not SOPs, not a policy, a full on contract) that forbids personal social media, you can fully sue and likely win if you are fired for making content (even paid) unrelated to your field or company. The woman working for a law firm was only able to be fired legally because she signed a contract forbidding moonlighting. If she'd made no money doing it, they'd have no leg to stand on.

[@Stopfollowingmeplz8]

In the US, most private companies have a social media policy and by being employed you have to adhere to the policy 🤷🏾‍♀️. It's very stupid in my opinion and I wish there were more laws protecting workers from being disciplined/fired at work for social media hoopla that occurred off-hours. I don't think what happens off-hours is any of the employers business. It's unfortunate that it's the way of the world now, so I keep all my socials locked down/vaguely anonymous. Moonlighting polices are also mostly bs. If jobs paid enough, people wouldn't need a second gig. I understand potentially an anti-competitor policy, but that should still depend on roles. A barista at Starbucks and Dunkin is not the same as an Operations Developer who actually knows trade secrets. The government really needs to step in and stop giving corporations so much power over what employees choose to do with their free time because of policies like these 😒

[@babygirlt8938]

Someone in the comments who is a lawyer explained that there’s a conflict of interest because if you receive a paid brand deal, it could be seen as a possible bribe to leak information. That makes sense but instead of firing people, couldn’t they just ask you to be upfront about your paid sponsorships? that way everybody wins and there is transparency

On the teacher lady, I paused and read through as much as I could. It wasn’t JUST about the rights thing (although given I was able to see that she’s a 3rd grade teacher, I fail to see what rights she was teaching them in a way they’d be able to comprehend). She was failing to reply to emails in a timely manner, her test scores were below average, she was sharing personal beliefs with students (big no no in education), and she was having the students read Harry Potter without a corresponding lesson plan according to district policy. Each one of those is, on its own and depending on her contract, a fireable offense as a teacher, especially if it’s a second offense as the long list implies. And if she appealed and the district upheld, as you state, then I’m inclined to believe she deserved the termination. It is SO HARD to get fired as a teacher because nobody wants to do that anymore so if they fired her while she was under contract, they had an ironclad reason

Filming at work is the primary example of main character syndrome; call me a corporate cuck but it's called being on company time. They own you while you're on the clock, you have to do everything possible to portray the company in a good light. Off the clock, do whatever the fuck you want and your employer should mind their own business. I work in healthcare, and I personally find it incredibly unprofessional to be on your phone at all, let alone filming, in front of or near patients.

What I hate about social media is that the internet really does take it too far. It’s not enough that we can just get a laugh out of something or talk about it for a little while. The Internet has to talk about something in ad nauseam and to milk til its bone dry. That includes uplifting random strangers to the highest highs of fame and fortune or dragging people to the brink of suicide. Like, my goodness, I’d be so sad if the “Hawk Tuah” girl wasn’t able to move past that because of a 10 second interview. She said a funny thing, we laughed, we can move on. It takes the word “brand” to a whole new level. She said she doesn’t want it to be her thing and I get what she means from that. Like, yeah, that’s where is started, but give me the chance to be more than that. She looks really young so she deserves a chance to re-invent herself and catapult off of this momentum. Or people have the “right to be forgotten” like on the case of the high heels in the club lady. There’s no need to rip someone to pieces over a video that most people don’t even know exist.

With that being said if an employee is fired by a company cause they’re posting on social media it’s time for everybody to backtrack to elementary school about 20 years ago when we learned what you post on the Internet can affect your job.

Is not posting about work to social media not just common sense? Like, forget social media policies, do people not want to be doxxed? Why have your personal details on a public social media page? But in all seriousness, I don't understand why people don't think there's anything wrong filming and taking pictures at work and posting them publically on social media. I've worked in retail, nursing and corporate; all of those jobs have had social media policies. I just assume everywhere I work has a social media policy and don't post about work. Also on the topic of hygiene with touching phones and patients, you're absolutely correct (at least in Australia where I'm from). Hand Hygiene Australia dictates the 5 moments of hand hygiene: before touching a patient, before a procedure, after a procedure/contact with body fluids/infection risk, after touching a patient, after touching patient surroundings. If you got caught filming patients, whether they're able to consent or unable due to age, consciousness or mental state, you would be fired on the spot in both public and private hospitals here and you risk losing your AHPRA registration as well (healthcare worker registration for Australia, it's all publically viewable on AHPRA but registration and complaints are submitted and governed by/to regulatory bodies for your profession like the Nursing and Midwifery Board or Pharmacy Guild).

We even had cyberbullying awareness classes or speakers. When there were actively issues with cyberbullying like on Ask FM either across multiple schools or ours specifically, they would amp up this anti cyberbullying stuff. It didn't stop the bullies, I should know, but people were at least aware of internet safety and all of those people who used to publicly show off how cool they were by posting frequent public pictures of their life to FB and Insta, to deal with normal teenage insecurity, ended up going fully private as adults so you know that it works, just not always at the time they learn it.

I’m all about quiet quitting (AKA, just doing your job and nothing else), but there’s JUST doing your job and then there’s genuine workplace laziness. If you can record yourself being the main character, you’re not even doing the job you got hired to do. And the worst part is that it’s your coworkers, your peers, who have to pick up your slack. That isn’t okay and, yes, you should be reprimanded or fired for it. There’s also the fact that your coworkers are there to work, not be recorded. The customers are there for your services, not to be background noise for your videos. Now, outside of work? Do what you want. It isn’t your job’s business what you do outside of work, unless you’re constantly trash talking the company you work for.

Socials 100% private, no more mentions of my job, I wouldn't even add coworkers anymore after that. I FAFO with a lot of things, but not my livelihood. The only time it's acceptable to make videos at work is if you're the company's social media manager, if you're recording workplace harassment, or documenting violations or unsafe working conditions.

I would be shocked if industries like medical/nursing didn't have similar or even stricter policies than retail, especially with the sensitive health information they have access to. That nurse like "well everyone else is doing it" girl, just because everyone else is doing it doesn't make it right.

If you are recording yourself, then your job is not a high priority job that requires 100% of your time working, meaning you will be the first one laid off when the company has problems.

@@CamJames thank you (I’m new-ish)! Love your work 😊 Yeah, social media and work clash because social media is about individuality and being your authentic self, but with work it’s all about conformity and adhering to rules. But a lot of people are not making the distinction and are treating work like an extension of themselves which they can share online

Yess glad I caught this new one to watch during my Sunday coffee on the porch ☺️

[@babygirlt8938]

So glad to be part of your Sunday! Hope you have a good day ❤️

Most Companies have a clause in your contract telling you not to film at work. People sign things without reading.

I think younger people have a generally correct attitude of screw this job a lot of the time which changes their relationship to how they work. What can be missed when you think like that is that some jobs are genuinely important even (and sometimes often) badly paid or not respected jobs. Watching the security guard guy my brain was just screaming at me because there was a literal terrorist plot at a TS concert recently. Like man you have a real job to do and professionalism is super important here. My first good job was way lower stakes than security but it involved being around people who could be famous and day one everyone knows not to act like this. You’ve got a job to do so do it you’re not a fan.

[@babygirlt8938]

Nothing wrong with being a fan of T.S but he chose the wrong place to let that show

This is the same for us in the airline industry! Flight attendants get in trouble all the time for posting TOO much online! Our job is amazing and people don't realize we layover and stay at hotels for free in different cities around the world! Even today I'm working to Paris and staying for a whole day ❤

[@babygirlt8938]

Love that for you! Hope you enjoy Paris ❤️

Lack of impulse control, professionalism and poor judgment. The fact that some of them try to justify it and their “me “ syndrome supercedes company policy is all the more reason they needed to be fired.

[@lisaspencer1057]

If you’re at work you’re paid to work not be on your stupid phone. Working with these people are the worse. Lazy, whiny people. All of them. They spend more time and effort bitching about the work they SHOULD be doing instead of just doing the work. My favorite job was where phones were banned and it was enforced.

[@babygirlt8938]

Lol, tell us how you really feel

[@picahudsoniaunflocked5426]

Found the narc.

[@duchessoftheprairie]

Yep im working for a mini grocery store company that ban phones during work lmao

[@RNope-k5r]

When you are an employee you are being paid for that time you are working. If you are posting your workplace and they do not want you doing it, they can fire you. The nurses don't deserve to be nurses, have common sense and discretion when working in a medical environment.

That smug attitude the teacher had in the tiktok was gross. I dont even kno what she was upset about, her attitude was not something i would want to my children seeing so i dont blame the board for firing her. I kno its harsh but our teachers are so important and they work hard af for little pay. They literally mold our childrens minds and help us raise the next generation. I understand lashing out and being emotional but this is a grown woman in charge of students who cant even understand that maybe filming a tiktok venting to the world about her boss is a bad idea? We all need to express ourselves but maam.... leave it in the drafts.

[@dangquesadilla1]

There is a TIME and PLACE for everything.

[@babygirlt8938]

Definitely

What gives me the "ick" is going out in public and seeing people recording their TikToks and stuff, or constantly taking selfies, or recording themselves doing something embarrassing, or especially others who didn't ask to be recorded. I deleted my social media apps, but kept KZbin. It counts, but loosely. I usually just watch science stuff, but wound up here. Bottom line is I don't like social media culture bleeding into our public spaces. I watched it become normalized over my lifetime, but it used to be better. Our bar is so low these days, and yes, it does affect the workplace, and your job performance to mentally be somewhere else and staring at your screen. At that point, just get a remote work job to work at your physical job, and at least get compensated for the "multitasking" 🤔

[@khanhnguyen-tt3ff]

Lol most corporation have no disclosure agreements you needed to sign before they hired you😢😢😢. People are lucky they are just getting fired and not getting sue for it.

[@babygirlt8938]

True, getting fired is much better than getting sued

[@cciv6100]

Social media isn’t getting people fired. People are getting themselves fired.

[@Kunty24]

Corporations want employees loyalty , but have no loyalty to their employees
