About this listen

In our third episode, we examine why a group of Atlanta nurses were recently under fire in the media and abruptly terminated from their employment at Emory Hospital after recording a viral TikTok video mocking patients and expectant mothers in their care. These nurses fatally participated in the popular "icks" trend where people share their turnoffs or gripes on TikTok; a trend which ultimately got them fired.

To complicate matters, we uncover the underlying institutional racial biases highlighted by this viral TikTok, which leads to to disproportionately higher mortality rates amongst racialized patients at healthcare facilities.

  • Can you be fired for what you post on your social media?
  • What are protected forms of expression at the workplace that you cannot be terminated or disciplined for?
  • What's required to maintain professionalism in the workplace?
  • What can employees and companies do to avoid these problems in the first place?

 

Join us as we answer all of these questions and more.
