    "Incident Report
    Employees were participating in a team building exercise during the weekly Thursday
    morning meeting of filming a TikTok challenge. Employees were told on 12/15/21 that all
    would be expected to participate.
    At the beginning of the activity Nate told fellow employees that he does not "make
    enough money for this shit" and proceeded to leave the meeting area (conference
    room) to stand in the coner of the staff room, nearest the door to exit. As the rest of
    Nate's colleagues participated in the challenge Nate left the room after being told that
    this is not a voluntary activity. Jeremy Brown approached him and informed him that the
    challenge was happening a second time and he was to join (an attempt to rectify this
    issue). Nate refused.
    Nate's refusal resulted in a two business day suspension (12/16 and 12/17) and incident
    infraction. Nate was told to return to work Monday 12/20/21.
    This is Nate's second write-up within a six-month period."

If a company doesn't want to accept that, that's a concern. s仓 2.6k 3 myweedstash · 5h It's a safety issue. People get doxxed all the time. Why would a company force someone to be filmed without consent, and retaliate with suspension when they refuse? 6 ¢ 1.6k
