As an woman, I get so super nervous whenever I see women showing their worker's badge, wearing their uniform or displaying their place of work on social media publicly because they're placing themselves in harms way of a possible stalker/attacker. I believe people need to be more discreet about their content because digital footprint is a real thing and can be harmful. If people want to do a viral trend, then they need to seriously consider talking with their manager and HR department before posting anything.

The results of Symone's survey says everything about the mindset of people. All common sense has been disposed of.

[@jCo1]

The waffle house worker didn't tell people (in her car ride video) that she did the video at work! on the clock! in uniform!!! They gave her the option to take it down and she didn't do it, so she got fired.

[@sarahgotit]

Buts is $2.14 an hour “her livelihood” no one can survive on that so it was a blessing in disguise. She will find better, most of these jobs people are doing it at their serving jobs and fast food places. What do you expect?

[@ThapeloMKT]

Rappers have been calling us brokies and telling us that they'll F our B since the beginning of time. Also how do they just fire her, aren't there procedures for firing someone? Verbal, written and final warnings???

Can you do a video on “feeling pressure to succeed fast/your not behind in life” I’m a 21 yr old male college student majoring in respiratory therapy and I drive a rav4 2009 (3rd generation of the Toyota rav 4). I’m around a lot of people that seem to be ahead of me in life. All my friends from high school that live in my neighborhood drive better cars than me, wear better clothes then me, traveled outside the country on their own, and are simply just living their adult life quicker than me. As a man it’s I have a lot of pressure to be successful in life and it doesn’t help when I have African family that always compare me to other aunties kids saying how they are all doing better than me.

[@princessmorebucks]

They are likely using mommy and daddy's credit card to fund the trips and lifestyle. Or they had prior connections. I had to learn that the hard way when I felt that I was always behind. Some may have worked hard to get where they are, but it's likely they already had a leg up

[@TheRealCatof]

My guy, stop worrying about others.

[@NicoleCamp88]

Most of them probably have lots of debt from those cars and trips.

[@xbabybriox]

Majority of people are paying car notes and using CREDIT CARDS to fund those trips or their parents are helping pay for things…don’t be fooled. 😂 This is why they say don’t compare yourself to other people because you don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors!! People will go broke just to flex on social media spending money they don’t have! Be glad you drive a car you don’t have to pay monthly for! I even used to envy people that had an apartment before I did and once I moved out and starting racking up how much money I was spending on rent ($1,600) not counting utilities and etc…do u know how much money I could have had sitting in my bank account just living at home?! The grass was NOT greener and now you have less money to work with. DO YOU and don’t worry about other people TRUST ME!!

Theys playing the LATTOERY

[@lorriechristian7164]

The problem is that we are undoubedtly in a recession that has caused people who haven't even considered themsleves working class to find out that they're not too far from becoming homeless themselves. Latto, and artists in general, have deliberately played in people's faces by trying to alude to the idea that they're just giving people a sense of levity and "escape" with their classist music when they're literally dangling a carrot (in this case, $10,000) in front of people and causing hysteria as a result. It's not the people's fault that they're trying to get out the hood and risking it all as a result. Latto, and the industry as a whole, know that. And they dont care. They care about making their songs go viral while companies care about their bottom line, and if any of these companies were to receive positive press through the videos they may have fired employees over, they would reap the benefits without even allowing said employees another chance. That's not ok.

[@jinx526]

Beautifully said. I'm disturbed by the majority of comments here glad to see someone gets it.

[@Ac3_Silvers]

Some companies just straight up do not let employees MENTION WHERE THEY WORK online, like as a condition of employment. Why the HELL would you think posting you ON THE CLOCK doing stupid stuff for what’s basically a lottery (ironic there) would cause? ESPECIALLY health care workers and emergency services.

[@noahknight4039]

I remember many risking their marriages, relationships, and facing eviction for a Beyoncé concert. Now many are putting their job at risk for $10k and a spot in a rap video. People really need to lose this yolo, social media way of living.

[@tiffaniclause4454]

They didn't need to fire anyone because I remember the ice bucket challenge at my job. And they sent out an email from corporate to whoever wants to participate can do it. And they told us exactly what clothes to where so you don't be revealing. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@AdaireKrickets]

Honestly, Waffle House could have asked the video to be taken down and edited. It could have been a big win for them, considering the shit storm their in right now. But you know, Corpo gotta step on throats no matter what I guess.

[@leena5875]

the ice bucket challenge was to bring awareness and donations to a degenerative disease without a cure… this is a challenge for an employee to MAYBE win 10k and be in a music video for a brand risk rapper

This falls in the category of play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Anyone saying their employer should allow this or should allow that is a BAD employee. If you don't like how your employer runs things, quit. That is your only option.

[@edgarglover3044]

I don't care but when you are at work, your personal feeling and opinions are at the door. People should be more respectful of the jobs they have. Latto is wrong for allowing these people to risk there lives and for only 10 thousand dollars. Desperation is real and we need to be accountable for our actions.

[@ErinHoneyBunny]

This is why I avoid people. Not even worth getting to know anybody if they're this slow and influenced that easy. The type of people who could be paid to hurt someone. Beware of people who will do anything for money or materialistic things. And thats alot of people now.

[@ShaneyElderberry]

She might have had some attendance troubles previously, but I remember working one job that was very severe with attendance, while paying hardly anything. Never again. If you’re working a job that would fire you for a single absence, then it’s time to find another job. Let’s not excuse that level of worker exploitation.

[@drayaabraham6320]

If you feel attacked then you are the person she’s talking about. Also, the possibility of you winning was very slim for a measly 10k. When you got the money, what were you going to do with it? I highly doubt paying bills and getting your debts paid was an option on the list. Congrats to the brokies who allowed yet another rich person use them to bring more money to their pockets.

[@SupaaCereal]

I’m not gone lie, the number of nurses doing this challenge doesn’t surprise me one bit , it’s pretty on par for the standard of care/ bedside manner they have. This makes so much sense, lol when you’re calling for your nurse over and over they’re probably too busy making TikTok’s to help you.

People take things too far. Latto is doing her job. That woman is grown, and she chose to do the challenge at her place of employment, which she should know wasn't a professional move, and she did it without a guarantee that she would win. Now folks want to blame Latto? Heck, no, she took it upon herself to do it at her place of employment. It's no one's fault but her own. Latto has nothing to do with this young lady getting fired for being unprofessional on her own job.

People are stupid and want fast money. This challenge when you think about it is literally the embodiment of “would you rather have a penny that doubles every day for a month or a million dollars?” People just seen $10k and jumped on the bandwagon. I’m willing to bet most of the people that was trying to get the money if they would get it all they would do is get stupid ass materialistic things like nails wigs clothes and shoes or a car or something. I guarantee a majority of those people weren’t even considering paying a damn bill or even buying their children clothes or books for school

[@Godlikegio]

@@ajtoofly7315 You wrote a whole paragraph of nonsense. It's very simple...people aren't earning enough to survive in this economy and most of them are using social media as a side hustle.

Yes you are correct this economy is fucked but the people doing this challenge are not responsible people who are hard working and trying to make a difference in their life or the world or at least not in the right way. Notice the types of people and jobs they had that were doing the challenge. Not a whole lot of blue collar workers, not a lot of older people, it was young people who wanna make a name for themselves via social media.

Social media has no place in the job unless your job is social medial. It's a place of work where your job is to contribute to the needs of the business so it can be an on-going concern. If your job sucks, start looking for another. Don't ever give up! Pray and keep looking and make yourself appealing to those doing the hiring. *EDIT to add, you look so good in that shade of pink.

In my opinion, she was fired because recording at her workplace was like showing video evidence of her not working. If she had gotten permission, it might have been a different situation. However, if she had recorded outside of work, on her personal time, that would have been a completely different story.

[@Chelzebelles]
