If you do stand up as side gig, should it impact their primary job? Is this a FAFO thing? Is it ok that a career limits earning/creativity elsewhere?

[DrPepper12]

If you found out a public employee like a teacher or cop was inflammatory, derogatory, obscene, etc. would you hold it against them in their day job?

Could they generally joke about kids or perps if they don't identify them publicly?

Is the filthy content separable from the person?

The job itself? Does it matter what the day job is?

If you employee them how would you react?

What if they are unionized & it doesn't violate the contract ("moral terpitude" is generally unenforceable for unionized employees in USA America)?

Would you let your kid in that teachers class?

Would you hold it against the cop when testifying?

If I was an employer, so long as you do the job I hired you to do, and especially if you do it well, I don't care what you do outside the job. If my customers have a problem with that, they can find business elsewhere. We should all be allowed to do whatever legal action we want, regardless of our work.

HOWEVER, schools almost never fire bad teachers, so I would be VERY hesitant to trust sending my kid to a class taught by someone that espouses beliefs I think shouldn't be taught to children. Especially the ones that SAY THEY DO SO (teach the kids their beliefs)

[DrPepper12]

I understand that. I like your very progressive view as an employer and I agree completely. Do the job I hired you to do and I don't give a fuck what you do on your own time as long as it doesn't reflect on this organization.

[egan3141]

Uh no, we don't agree then. You just went against everything we've said. "as long as it doesn't reflect on this organization". It doesn't matter what they do, as long as it is legal. Unless by reflect, you mean they are trashing their employer/their business. In that case, then yes, that is the one exception. I'm not going to run a car shop with employees that tell the world that my car shop is ripping people off or sucks or anything else like that.

I would say that it would not matter to me but the exception is teachers. I think people that work with kids need to be held to a higher standard.

[DrPepper12]

Yeah but why? I mean I understand historically when they would shoe pregnant teachers out as quickly as possible in all of that other bullshit but truly what someone does on their own time SHOULD be allowed

[exitseven]

@DrPepper12 I worked as an Administrator in a K-12 school system. When I interviewed for the job the Superintendent told me that I would be held to a higher standard and that he would not tolerate stuff like a DUI or bouncing checks or screwing (his words) somebody who was not my wife.

Certain public jobs have their own codes. I know girls who are afraid to be drunk or high at all in public

[DrPepper12]

Same here. I've been on the subway, concerts, etc with the same HS kids that I teach and we each give that knowing chin up wag to acknowledge each other's presence when we both know that we've had too much to drink... ONLY problem is theyre minors. I SEE NOTHING! NOTHING I TELL YOU!

The elementary teacher crowd is like that. I knew several girls who would not order alcoholic beverage if their students were around. Dumbest shit I ever heard of.

[NathanDavis]

jokes are not a crime

[DrPepper12]

But grounds for dismissal

[NathanDavis]

I think they should lose their gigs first... rather than their jobs

but I wouldn't enforce that either
