Is this different than firing someone over their social media posts or inappropriate conduct captured on video? To me it does, but I'm not sure I can articulate why. Am I being a hypocrite?

Indeed there is a broader conversation about what amounts to "inappropriate conduct" outside the workplace. Assuming the person isn't doing anything illegal and maintains their work at arm's length, does the employer get to police what they do outside of their working hours?

If a teacher hustling as a sex worker in her free time is grounds for dismissal, would a teacher hiring the services of a sex worker in his free time also be a fire able offense?

This feels like a sea of shades of grey.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

50 of them to be precise.

If sex work in any context is a dismissal, then I would say hiring a sex worker or engaging in their services should as well.

I agree, and I think both situations are clearly bullshit. My employer should have no say on my sexual life.

Yes and no.

Part of the issue for both is that posting stupid shit non-anonymously on social media does call your judgment into question, especially if you're in a public-facing role and your behaviour be liability to your employer. Say Nazi stuff on Facebook and your employer fires you? Well, that's a life lesson about consequences of your own behaviour.

...and that's also the case here, though OnlyFans allows a modicum of plausible deniability because it requires the viewer to actively and decisively source the content in question. The problem, for the content creator, is that the internet is leaky, and what happens on OnlyFans doesn't stay on OnlyFans.

This is separate from the compensation issue. For sure EAs are paid incredibly poorly, and while there's liability issues, there are larger moral ones about slut-shaming someone trying to make rent through legal means.

If you read the article, it wasn't even under her real name. There's literally no safer way to have a porn side-gig that I can think of.

It sounded like they also had content on platforms like TikTok that they had problems with. Like being dressed as a "schoolgirl" in tiktok videos.
