Sharing porn with work colleagues

This has happened to me. I had a what's app group with a few friends...related to music. One guy kept spamming it with porn.

I asked him to stop posting porn and it lasted for a while, but then started again. So eventually it I just told him l had a problem and that I needed to avoid it. He stopped at that point.

 

It depends on the person and the porn. I've had coworkers share porn and selfies before. I never reported anyone. But some other people did.

And some of the people reported needed to go. They were a dangerous problem for their coworkers. And some people didn't need to be reported because it was boys being boys and nobody was ever in any danger and there wasn't anything to report.

Now I'm a business leader. If I found out an employee of mine was doing that, I'd probably have to release them. Because once leadership finds out as an officer of the company I have a legal requirement to protect the company from liability. If I know about it, and don't act, I put the entire company at risk.

So it depends on who shares it and who they share it with and who finds out.

But it's always a bad idea. Especially in 2022. It only takes one tweet going viral to put a company out of business. Look what happened to Starbucks. They closed their entire business for two days at the cost of millions of dollars because of a viral tweet.

Companies can't risk that liability in 2022. So don't share smut at work, and don't engage with people who do. Too dangerous.

Besides which, that's high risk behavior on the part of the person doing it. They're risking their employment and everyone else's. Clearly they have self destructive tendencies. You don't want to be dragged into any of that.

 

I would tell them about the toxic nature of porn without hesitation.

 

In india it's considered very controversial to send porn to others and he will be destroyed within seconds by the media and he will get suspended from his job . Here people consider porn a taboo but they all watch it in secret.( after USA and Uk india comes third in porn consumption lol )
