She wasn't fired because she was fat. Get real. Thy never would have HIRED her in the first place if this was the case.

They fired her because she has no common sense. Had she kept the pics private, there would be NO ISSUE.

OMG how dare a human being do what she did!?!? Thank Jesus and Allah you never had sex, undressed yourself to take a shower, and always followed the heard like the sheep you are! How could you ever leave your precious money with a women like that?????


The bank I go to all their employees do not ever sex on their off time, they ALL go to church every Sunday, and are just perfect robots protecting my money. It is nice having peace of mind knowing my money is in such safe hands!!

Unfortunately yes after 3 years being self employed I had go back to the 9-5... It's pretty sad.... Thankfully, I'm not too deep in the rat race so I don't have to completely conform and be a robot.

I agree with whomever upthread said the pics were likely used as an excuse to fire a pregnant person without overtly violating state or federal law. I've seen enough businesses creatively push preggos out of the workplace that I find that entirely possible.
Exactly, all of a sudden it seems everyone following this thread is a nun or priest. Are we still living in the 1940's??? Most people are just insecure with themselves so they compensate by becoming over judgmental when someone else doesn't follow the status quo... She literally didn't nothing wrong from a moral or legal perspective.

Do I agree with the decision to fire her? Not particularly. However, companies have an image to maintain. Employees are expected to maintain that image. If people want to live a life of complete freedom, they need to work for themselves or find a company whose values match their own.
Fair enough, well said.... It's true, when you are an employee you are not free as long as you need the paycheck.

Nor do I, but it'd still be interesting.




I don't see anything wrong with the pictures and I wouldn't have fired her over them if she was otherwise a good employee. I would give her some free advice about keeping her private life private, though. I'm not sure she expected them to go viral, but that's the risk you take when you share something in this day and age (I suppose).


I'm EXTREMELY careful these days about what I share and what I say on social media. I rarely comment or "like" something on LinkedIn (I only do so to keep my profile fresh). My Facebook page is locked down pretty tight but for extra security, I search for coworkers on FB and actively block them. (I especially search for the entire HR team.)

Huh? I have no problem with her having sex. I have a problem when she makes it public. This is weird, narcissistic behavior that shows poor judgment.
