This is going to be about how your seperate lives affect one another. One example is recent and the other is a bit older, but I'll give them both out.

Recently, a woman appeared on Howard Stern's show. she stripped down nude to show the guys her body. When she went back home to florida, she was told to take "a vacation" while her bosses decided what should be done.

Yesterday she called into the show to inform everybody that she just decided to resign wheather then try to defend herself and risk having a dismissile on her record.

Her job: She worked for Child services-I believe she said she was a "threat assesment" worker or something along those lines.

Another example-similar to this is there is a wrestler named JBL(i dont' know his real name and can't be assed to dig it up) that wrestles for the wwe. A few years ago, he was going on a bunch of financial shows because I guess he really knows stocks, so he would go on as a financial anaylist. He would go on under his real name etc.

Well around this time, his wrestling "character" become a mocked up version of himself-A cowboy, republican, rich guy who "hated" poor people(majority of wrestling fans). As his charcter got more and more popular, he become engaged in a feud with a rapper wrestler. JBL started referring to the rapper as "you people," "your kind" etc(by the way the rapper wrestler is a white dude, but it's clear what they were having jbl do.)

So eventually the show that he would go on as an anaylist, stopped having him on. They said they felt he was racist and they couldn't promote that on their show.

My point of these two stories are...should what you do outside of affect your job and does that work vise versa?

In the first story, I felt that while a "forced" resignation/firing was a bit harsh, she should have been punished. It's not like she was a girl who worked in a sandwich shop or an inspiring artist-her job is to go into people's homes and decide if they're abusing their children or not...yet she can't make a good enough decision to not take off her clothes on a national tv show?

The taking off the clothes isn't a big deal..it's the fact that she clearly didn't think about what would happen. Not only that, but she has a job that requires integirty and yet she's acting like it's no big deal that she could be walking into somebody's house to take their kid, while her naked ass is on the tv screen.

I do feel bad for her..but it was her choice.

In the second case, I thought what this show did was really a dumb/over reacting choice. If you're watching a financial show on cnn/fox news/msnbc I would assume that you know that wrestling is fake. Thus people should know that JBL is just playing a role on tv.

The thing that bugs me about this situation is you have actors that play tons of roles depicting all natures of "characters" yet, they're still allowed to give their opinion on politics or "hot debates."

so one person lost a job because of what she did while she wasn't working, while another lost a second gig for DOING his job.

where's the fairness in that?
