Even though it seems to happen all the time, using someone’s likeness without their permission is a big no-no. Especially in a small setting where they will almost certainly see it.
This is the case in a recent video posted by a TikToker named Jords (@brunetteasian). She came into work find her likeness being used in a PSA poster trying to discourage other employees from using their phone at work.
As you can see in the small print, it was a staged photo.
Employers vs employees on their phones is a relatively new human problem, but one that is being fought on every level. Work just can’t complete with the limitless content in the palm of our hands.
