Chapter 7 Question 6 Pg. 234

Should someone who runs a pornographic website containing images of him or her self be fired by an employer because it could give the employer a bad image, even if the person never states where he or she works on the website? Why or why not?

People should be aware of the accountability that come with having a job like owning a porn site. Having the porn site and trying to have a regular job would conflict with one another and the person should be fired for having a porn business. One reason that the employee should be fired because, as stated earlier, it brings liability to the company of the regular job they work. People fail to realize that information on the internet is NOT secure as you think. There are people in the world that could get those pictures and send them to other sites, forums etc. and that action could come back to the employees job where the employer and other higher parties could see.Second this is what I am having a hard time understanding is why would anyone post pictures of themselves with that porn title attached to their name? That action alone would hurt the employee's  chance of receiving other employment elsewhere. Third, and this also ties back to liability, would be the fact that other companies could see this particular person on this site and they could use this to hurt the employee's company and possibly do some type of damage to the company's image. Overall if I was the employer I would not want someone who is associated with the porn industry working for my firm. Businesses must be professional and in order to function in the world today must not have any liabilities that could wreck the company.
