OH.MY.GOSH. Very, very long story short, it was brought to my attention that one of my employees has a very.."active" OnlyFans account. I'm trying to find a balance between respecting what people's interests are outside of work and how that work might influence our company's image. This is an "R" rated OnlyFans. I really don't know what to do. She's such a sweetheart but if word gets out that I knew and I kept her on the team or didn't reprimand her, I could lose my job. Any suggestions?

Let people live their own lives. It’s not affecting her work

Agreed. If it does not reflect on their work or interfere with their performance, and as long as it does not endanger the organization legally, it's their own business. If a person goes hunting on the weekends and kills animals for food, does it merit reporting just in case someone is offended or a PETA supporter?

The fact that you are concerned about how YOU will be impacted by her personal decision, and that YOU are now afraid that YOU can't treat her fairly without casting some sort of judgement, is troubling.

I have to agree with you that you do have a toxic workplace with very toxic leadership. And guess what? You are HER 'leader'.

If you truly want to be honest with her, send her THIS THREAD so that SHE can go to HR and ask to move to a different team/department. She deserves better than working under 'toxic leadership'.

@Author if keeping my job requires me potentially firing someone for something they do in their personal time to make extra money which doesn’t conflict with company products and isn’t anything illegal, then I’d find a new job.

It's not a matter of control....

Well, personally I would have an open and honest conversation with her. Let her make your choices and live with the consequences.

People....your employment is generally AT WILL...and your actions both in and out of work are a reflection on your employer, whether you choose to believe it or not and it doesn't matter one bit whether or not your role is public facing.

At least in North America (you need to check and know employment law in your own jurisdiction), your employer can choose to let you go for any behavior they feel reflects badly on the company image and you have no recourse.

So "2022 or not"....think about what you are doing and whether or not the employer YOU agreed to work for would be supportive or not. If you aren't sure...ask in advance for permission or take your chances.

Simple as that.

What she does outside of work, as long as it doesn’t impact her contributions to her work is outside of your organization’s jurisdiction. She is an adult in a country that is about individual freedoms, interacting with other consenting adults. Mind your own business.

It's none of your business, and you're not accountable for what other people do after they clock out, so spare us the histrionics about your job being on the line if you don't say anything. If she's such a sweetheart and she's good at her job, this is completely irrelevant.

There are plenty of comments here already, but just wanted to add that if you can’t view her without bias about her personal life anymore, it’s time for a talk with HR—it’s clear both of you will suffer from this manager-employee relationship. She needs a new manager, and you need to move on.

Look, she is free to do what she wants but actions have consequences. Good or bad. If she was a kindergarten teacher, I would expect problems. A Sr. Dev, maybe not.

I get it, people think their autonomy is sacred, but you just cannot dictate how others will react. If her hobby will be harmful to your team or organization, image or otherwise, you probably need to consider a course of action other than ignoring what is there for anyone to discover.

Ultimately she is your employee and you have to make a dispassionate decision. Is anything she is doing violating her contract or corporate policy? I would start there.

like

@a Manager - and that's fair. I suppose the point is, though, is that a single school administrator probably wasn't left hanging with the issue. They had to consider and involved multiple stakeholders - unions, trustees, etc. It's not as broad an audience in the corporate world, but how you address it matters. But I think you are right for being concerned.

Why would something somebody else did make you lose your job?

Unless your image is some super-moral thing like publishing Bibles, I wouldn't worry too much about it. The people who are moral about such things will never discover her OnlyFans Account.

I'd be more worried about the person who brought it to your attention.

like

I have worked for companies that made you sign paperwork regarding adult or illegal activities. If your company doesn't have that, then reprimanding or taking any negative action against your employee is opening you/your company up to a potential lawsuit. It is literally none of your or their coworkers's business.

You mention in a reply that there is a rule about misrepresenting the company. That does not apply to this situation at all. That's for if they lied about the company or said they have a different (usually higher) position in the company than they actually do.

I would read through your company's Code of Conduct (especially if there is one pertaining to online), Code of Ethics, and employee handbook. If nothing is mentioned there that your employee is in violation of, leave it alone.
