Employee on onlyfans

404 replies

I'm going to keep this as short as possible. My husband works in administration in a hospital environment. It was brought to his attention today by another colleague that a female colleague is on OnlyFans. As my husband is her manager, I asked him what he was going to do, and he isn't sure what to do. What would you do in his situation?

Well if they paid her a living wage she's probably wouldn't feel the need to branch out.

I think it would only be relevant if she was a teacher, police officer, barrister or something customer facing which might affect the reputation of where she worked.

Depends, you know that Onlyfabs isn’t just sexy stuff. People are on it doing crafts, cookery and all sorts. It’s an uncensored YouTube, you just get paid more.

CeeChynaa · 22/11/2023 00:21

I'm wondering if this post of yours is more to do with you wanting the 24F out of the way as your husband clearly cannot control his sexual urges.

I thought the same thing once I did an AS. People should really name change if they’re not willing to give the whole story for context. Doubt OP will be back

Sound like your DH found her on OF to be quite honest.

Either way OP, this has very little to nothing to do with him and even less to do with you. Not sure if you're aware but you aren't her manager, He is not the manager or judge and jury of her personal life so unless he has been delving deep into her OF content and thinks it contravenes a work policy, this affects her work, and he can prove this in a formal investigation should one be appropriate (again, not sure how he confidently can unless he has been on there and viewed her content) then just get on with your own lives.

He could end up with a grievance against him if she feels he's overstepped or procedure not followed. Good for her for outsourcing her income but it's a shame that the pervs and gossips at work are so busy trying to involve themselves.

Absolutely feck all unless it breaks any clause of her contract she signed.

Selenitetower · 22/11/2023 00:41

If I was him I would leave it and not do anything. If he’s aware then others must be too and if it’s against any social media policy then it will all be found out eventually. Does he want the fact that his actions in possibly reporting her to HR and resulting in her being fired weighing on his conscious or is he happy to report to HR and have her possibly lose her job?

Thelnebriati · 22/11/2023 00:50

I'm not sure he should be discussing it with you at all. His HR department can check the workplace policies on social media use and second jobs, and you should MYOB.

grumpycow1 · 22/11/2023 00:51

Absolutely none of his business and should kee an eye on the colleague who reported it for bullying/harassment.

Panaa · 22/11/2023 00:57

Does your husband not know how to do his job?
Why is he asking you what to do?

Wetblanket78 · 22/11/2023 01:08

Nothing his main concern should be she is doing it because her job doesn't pay her enough.

allmyliesaretrue · 22/11/2023 01:28

Unless she is bringing her work organisation into disrepute, there's frig all your DH can do - unless it's a condition of her employment that she can't have a second job.

The right to privacy is a human right.

There is no need to get involved in an employee's personal life. It is no way affects their work.

I think you'll find there are teachers, police officers, and barristers doing it as well.

And why, not, if they want to. As long as they don't broadcast it and keep it under wraps.

The official term is "mind your own business".

kushty · 22/11/2023 01:59

Unless she's bonking on your husbands desk, in company identifiable locations or uniform with company logo/name visible then leave well alone...

AcrossthePond55 · 22/11/2023 02:14

I don't know the company's policy on second jobs/types of jobs, but if I were OP's DH I'd be shitting plaid rabbits and hoping this employee isn't on MN. In most workplaces, management discussing an employee's personnel issues with other people is a sackable offense.

As is sexting employees under your supervision. Being that it's been going on over a year now I'd be far more concerned about my husband's unscrupulous behavior then this girl's only fans. If she ends up getting g him fired it's his own fault

saltinesandcoffeecups · 22/11/2023 02:29

Don’t know the backstory and truly don’t care.

He should go to HR and seek advice. He doesn’t have to start the conversation with “Sally’s doing naughty things online”. He should start with “Hypothetically if a manager were informed that an employee is on onlyfans what should they do?”

The bottom line is that yes a person has agency to do what they want on their own time, however the fact that someone (I’m assuming work related) brought it to his attention it’s already a work matter and he needs to cover his own ass (no pun intended). He can’t ‘unknow’ this information.

JennyJenny8675309 · 22/11/2023 02:31

Some of these posts lately 🙄

Ponderingwindow · 22/11/2023 02:38

It would be misconduct at my company. We could also be sanctioned for being aware of misconduct by another employee and lack of reporting. Talking about it with fellow employees might violate sexual harassment rules. I would just go straight to my compliance officer, report what I know, and remove myself from the situation as quickly as possible.

Breezy1985 · 22/11/2023 02:58

He's telling you this story incase you catch him out looking at her onlyfans.

It will be I was just looking to make sure she hasn't breached any policies. Your anger/outrage is directed at the wrong person here.

yummyjar · 22/11/2023 03:24

There's very little info in the post. I assume he would know a lot more about his organisation's internal policy, and her role obligations, than you would. Anyway, is it a breach that you're privy to this info? How/why are you involved – the lack of info given by him makes me think he doesn't want you involved (as it should be).

Your husband should report himself to HR for his egregious breach of confidentiality in discussing professional and personal information about his subordinates with his wife. HR will then enact the appropriate disciplinary measures.

This. He could find himself in trouble for sharing employee information with his wife. Unless the employee was doing it during her working hours or using NHS facilities and equipment then it’s none of his, or your, business, so stop thinking about getting her sacked.

Sallyh87 · 22/11/2023 03:37

What could he do? Why would he do anything?

I would be equally creeped out by the other colleague looking at pornography and then telling me about it.

EnoughIsay · 22/11/2023 03:38

Toenailz · 21/11/2023 22:28

God there's some horrible fucking people about. And you and your OH are two of them.

Leave her alone you bully.

Slightly over the top there toenailz...

OP - this happened/don't know what to do/any thoughts?

All of which would imply no action has taken place.

So why is the OP or her DH a bully?

For askig a question anonomously?
