Maybe I'm old fashioned but even though I watch and am amused by HBO various sexually oriented shows, I'm always left wondering "Who would allow themselves to be taped for a television show?!"

Most recently I was watching the Bunny Ranch documentary, which featured a husband and wife who were both there to "party" with providers (seperately).  So as usual I'm watching thinking who would do that, etc, etc... Obviously someone else was watching and didn't like what they saw, the man was fired for inappropriate conduct.  Oh well... I guess he has a good night he can always remember.

I'm not sure that's legal, and I'm half tempted to print it and show to the HR Dept at work, but then what would they think...?
And I care, because..?

Seriously, though, I'm not sure that's legal to lose one's job for that...

You know what? I think I will anyway...
Thanks for sharing.

I'm sure just about anything is arguable in court.

However, most employment contracts that you sign contain MANY legally binding sections. There are standard stipulations in most employment documents which usually contain specific verbage directed at "conduct unbecoming . . . that would compromise the reputation/integrity of the company . . . or cause loss of revenues. . . which may result in disciplinary actions up to and including termination."

I am not saying it is right or wrong. However, if you intend to sign an employment document, it is incumbent upon you (or your counsel) to do your diligence and find out what the verbage contained within that employment contract addresses; and what you might expect in such a scenario.

Unless you have a specific employement contract, many if not most states are employment at will.

In other words, your employer can fire you at any time for anything that is not specifically protected by statute.  For example, your boss can't fire you because you're too old, or the wrong race, because that would be discrimination.  But your employer CAN fire you because he/she thinks you're ugly, or just doesn't like you today.  

I somehow doubt that any court is going to consider a trip to the bunny ranch as protected behaviour.
