I work in retail, and the other night I answer the phone and it’s someone asking about a pair of shoes they saw in the background of a post that had a girl in it. I go to check our store’s Instagram to see which shoes she was talking about because she wanted to put them on hold.
Next thing I know I’m looking at a picture of myself and trying to not freak out while I have the customer on the phone.
After I end the call, I ask one of my coworkers if they knew anything about this. She said she saw my manager taking the picture and asked “Are you going to tell/ask her?” My manager responded with something along the lines of “No, don’t worry about it.”
The photo and caption weren’t negative in any way but I feel really uncomfortable that she took a pic without me knowing and then decided to post it without saying a word???
I feel sort of violated and uncomfortable. Is this legal? I’m so skeeved out and stressed over this. I’ve been thinking about deleting it when I’m at work but I don’t want to get fired.
