They claim that I violated their social media policy, but will not respond to me with how I violated it.
This second part is what is going to get her a nice piece of damages. What was the policy? Was it spelled out when she started? Is Only Fans actually social media?
The answers are: There's a vague one that certainly doesn't cover the use of OF; she wasn't given it; and no, she's an actress.
Only if she can prove the firing was related to being a member of a protected class. Unless it was not at will employment but I’m not aware of any private sector jobs like that anymore.
Edit: people keep telling me I’m wrong so that may be true.
No, they gave a reason and that reason isn't covered under their policy, so she should still be covered.
If they let her go without a reason, then she would have to prove discrimination. But if they say "You violated our social media policy" and refuse to show how, and she can prove that nothing she did was on violation of the policy as written, then that is a clear case of unlawful termination.
Lots of teachers are part of a union. There's no mention of it in the article that I see, but union workers tend to be a little bit more protected than at will workers.
In this case, she seems to have moved into healthcare in some way or another and may no longer have union support.
As said below, they gave a reason. It has to be consistent with the actual policy and that policy has to be applied fairly and universally. If someone is making it up as they go, then they did it wrong.
I mean, you can do all the things on only fans you do on Instagram so I would say it's definitely at best social media, at worst porn platform
Hey, "A" for effort, but maybe next time you could turn in a revised and polished thought rather than the first thing that burbles to the surface?
You’re an Asshole
That's Adorable.
copycat

and?
Does the employment policy specifically make this distinction? Probably not. I can guarantee that they never thought of OF when the policy was written and OF may not have even existed back then.
