Time to Speak Up!

Well, if you read my blog (and thanks if you do), you no doubt saw my post from yesterday. I posted a light-hearted video asking if sex really does sell. Turns out, it's still unclear if sex sell, but posting a "Does Sex Sell" video sure does get you fired.

The video has been making its rounds, and I decided to share it with a few of most closest friends in my office. One of them decided to forward it to our team leader, who then forwarded it to my broker. I received a call from the team leader saying she wasn't happy with the video. She said she didn't really know what to say, and that the video looked very professional, and the music was "nice," but she didn't think it was acceptable. Later last night, I missed a call from my broker, and she left a less-than-nice voicemail disapproving of the video.

Fast forward to about 30 minutes ago. My phone rings, and it's my broker. She stresses how unhappy with this video she is. She admits that she, and the others in the office got a good laugh from it, but she did NOT want the video associated with her office. Well, if you watch the video, it makes no mention of her office, but she said that wasn't good enough.

Twenty minutes later, I get an ultimatum: "Take the video down, or I'll have to let you go."

The video is still up, and I no longer work for this broker.

So how do you feel about this? Should I have been fired over the video? I am an independent contractor, and work for MYSELF! I pay all of my own marketing costs.

Please tell me what you think in the comments. I don't have a job now, so I have plenty of time to read your replies
