The important piece of this to me is this: She made $1 mil on OnlyFans and $42k/year as a teacher. She wants to be a teacher despite making plenty of money from other sources. This tells me that unless you have other evidence of impropriety she's someone we want in the classroom. It also reinforces my stance, along with plenty of other studies that have been performed, that a universal basic income won't stop people from working.

Pay people better and we'll just keep working because we like it. It's part of being human, but we shouldn't be suffering to survive at the same time.

$1 million = 23.8 years of teaching at $42K/yr.

[-] azimir@lemmy.ml 73 points 7 months ago

Add in that id you don't blow it all, you get to count the interest income. A long term investment gets about 6-7% per year. That's actually more than the teaching job pay.

[-] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago

To go the other way, her tax bracket is a lot higher than the base salary alone would be. And if it's $1m in a year, almost all of that will be in the highest bracket.

If shes single, her combined effective federal and Missouri income tax is around 40%, so she took home roughly 600k. If she's married, then her total effective tax is 25%, so she took home 750k.

For the 600k investment at a conservative 4%, which right now you can get in some savings accounts, her interest alone would be 24k/yr. For the 750k, it would be 30k/yr.

With a more realistic return of 7-8% in today's high interest rate markets, both of those sums would net more than her old salary of 42k/yr.

People probably will choose to work on different things though. It's harder to exploit a workforce that isn't as desperate. That's the real reason why UBI isn't happening.

[-] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 27 points 7 months ago

I quit a job I really liked for one I didn't like nearly as much because I hardly made more than minimum wage

If I won the lottery I would go back to that first job and work for free.

[-] Pan_Ziemniak@midwest.social 17 points 7 months ago

Ditto. Ive met countless older people now who kept up doing the work they were passionate about, even if it in time became a hobby that they did at a loss. People like to work. They like to see the fruits of their labor take shape before their eyes, and they like feeling like theyre doing something that benefits someone other than themselves.

As it stands, the rules we live by only reward the infinite pursuit of profit, but that doesnt align with the values people find themselves holding whether they like it or not.

Case in point to your last part:

I was fired at the beginning of the year. I had sufficient funds I coulda retired if I wanted to. I’m not quite 40.

It’s been 2 months and I am so fucking bored I got a job. I didn’t go get a part time job to fill my time, I got a job in my field continuing to work at “my level” because it fulfills me.

I’m now able to do what I want because I want to rather than because of some existential need. My work product is WAY better.

A million dollars from OnlyFans and now she gets an employment law claim against the new employer.

This may truly be the only way to get ahead as a teacher in the US...

The attractive teachers must have really been frustrated by me. I only cared if you were a cool teacher. Most of the time, the attractive teachers were not the cool teachers.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago

My favorite and best teacher was a 70 year old retired Catholic nun who was a big fan of rulers on knuckles. But my God was she a fantastic teacher.

For sure it's different when kids would just find out and start downloading her naked photos. Then parents would find out and be insanely mad that kids are viewing their teacher's naked photos. It's different case than secretly fantasizing about your pretty teacher lol

I might be a stray data point, but I had a smoking hot partial differential equations professor who dressed for the weather during the summer semester. Didn't learn a damn thing.

I love how the employer admitted to not checking her references or googling her beforehand.

Can't really blame her when they didn't do their due diligence.

I'm a senior manager at a pretty big company.

That's something she does on the side, and if anyone in the workplace gave her shit, I would tell them to leave it the fuck alone unless they wanted me to bring HR in to the convo.

Can people please not be cunts? (I'm an Aussie...)

Edit: People need to disconnect things. Say there's leaked nudes (or even just public nudes) of a work colleague. Let's take it to they used to do porn. Yep, that's something they did. That has zero impact on their role now or who they are in their role. They don't deserve shame, or ridicule.

Maybe we should pay our teachers so they don't have to do more work when they're done with work so they can do stuff like not starve to death or have a roof over their head?

They claim that I violated their social media policy, but will not respond to me with how I violated it.

This second part is what is going to get her a nice piece of damages. What was the policy? Was it spelled out when she started? Is Only Fans actually social media?

The answers are: There's a vague one that certainly doesn't cover the use of OF; she wasn't given it; and no, she's an actress.

If someone were willing to pay for pics of my ballsack and I made a lot more selling those pics than I make teaching in high school I would still miss my less-paying job

It feels like she knew she would get fired from this new job, leverage it nationwide articles and get even more subscribers to her OF page. She even references the teaching gig in her bio, and the new job in her latest posts.

[-] bassomitron@lemmy.world 79 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Maybe. It doesn't matter. Jobs shouldn't be able to fire you because you get naked on the Internet, which requires you to pay to even see in the first place.

Edit:

@meep_launcher@lemm.ee made a great point about teacher/student dynamics and I can agree with that in most circumstances (e.g. the students are underage). I still think it's ridiculous for her second, non-teaching job to fire her.

[-] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 44 points 7 months ago

I'm a teacher and they specifically have guidelines on what you're behavior online should be. Keeping your socials clean. Making sure my interactions with students are kept professional.

The fact is that kids these days are nosey and great researchers. Having an only fans as an educator has a huge risk of students discovering it, and will ultimately change the relationship between student and teacher from a student/ teacher relationship to a viewer/ pornstar one.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago

This is the most sane, rational summation of this debacle I've read yet.

Eh I disagree with some jobs. Teachers are supposed to be role models to students and keep certain things private.

The problem is we aren't paying teachers adequately for that. It reminds me of essential workers during the pandemic. If we need these people so badly, or we're asking them to be role models and be private about certain things, then we should be paying them much, much more.

[-] almar_quigley@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago

Even if teachers are supposed to be role models for students which I think is debatable it certainly is not applied outside the classroom. They will never be paid enough in any world to warrant them crafting their entire being as if they are some K-pop idols.

Her job doesn't get to decide what she does in her off time. Of course on the streets of the real world they definitely try and succeed. I'm saying that they should not.

God i just want the world to change for the better. This is dumb
