O femeie pompier a fost concediată din cauza pozelor „prea provocatoare“. Tânăra a dat în judecată compania
0O tânără dă în judecată departamentul de pompieri în care a lucrat acuzând că a fost discriminată şi concediată din cauza fotografiilor publicate pe Instagram şi considerate de superiorii ei indecente.
Presley Pritchard, în vârstă de 27 de ani, a intentat proces departamentului Evergreen Fire Rescue din Colorado, care a concediat-o în august 2019 din cauza pozelor considerate „prea provocatoare“ pe care le posta pe reţelele sociale, notează Vice.
Tânăra, care luca de trei ani şi era atât pompier, cât şi paramedic, susţine că nu a primit nicio plângere privind modul în care îşi face treaba, însă a fost discriminată din cauza faptului că este femeie.
În documentele depuse în instanţă, Pritchard spune că această concediere a afectat-o atât din punct de vedere financiar, cât şi emoţional.
Mai mult, ea susţine că instituţia nu are o politică privind utilizarea reţelelor sociale, însă superiorii ei i-au reproşat de mai multe ori că pozează „prea provocator“, deşi colegii ei bărbaţi au la rândul lor imagini în care apar la bustul gol.
View this post on Instagram Sometimes God has to take it all from you to show you who you really are without it. - I’ve spent so much time placing my identity in my career, my relationship, or the gym. I was extremely confident I knew who I was. When I lost all of them, I panicked. I look strong and confident from a social media perspective, but inside I was depressed and questioning my self worth. I felt like I had to uphold this image of being strong 100% of the time and always knowing what was going to happen, but truthfully, I just take it one day at a time like everyone else. - When everything gets taken from you, I truly believe it’s God’s way of getting your attention and stopping you from heading the opposite way of your calling. GOD BREAKS CHAINS, NOT PROMISES. And He promises He will restore what was lost and make it even better than you can imagine. But the “in-between” is the damn hardest. Trust me, I’m there. - This goes for your job, your failed attempts at the fitness test, your failed attempts to get your medic license, your lost relationship, your injuries. You are NOT those things and those things don’t make you who YOU are. You are worth SO MUCH more and I’m having to believe it and repeat it every day to just move forward. 🐦 The sparrow tattooed on my forearm is a reminder of this; “You are Worth more than many Sparrows” [Matthew 10:31] .

De asemenea, tânăra spune că a fost în repetate rânduri victima hărţuirii sexuale din partea colegilor bărbaţi.
Pe contul ei de Instagram, unde activitatea îi este urmărită de peste 100.000 de persoane, Presley Pritchard publică în mare parte poze în care apare în uniforma de pompier, dar şi imagini din sala de fitness, fiind în paralel instructor.

Pe de altă parte, compania susţine că motivul pentru care tânăra a fost concediată are legătură cu faptul că a postat o imagine de la un accident, dar şi pentru că ar fi comercializat tricouri şi alte produse imprimate cu imagini în care apare lângă vehiculele şi echipamentele departamentului de pompieri, folosind astfel instituţia în scopuri financiare personale şi încălcând astfel clauzele contractuale.
Mai mult, oficialii departamentului afirmă că i-au dat un ultimatum de cinci zile angajatei de a retrage imaginile şi produsele comercializate, însă acest lucru nu s-a întâmplat.
View this post on Instagram My face when someone mentions how I’m “provocative” in professional attire 🤣 - This post is for all the ladies out there making a difference, doing their jobs day in & day out. - Have you ever been asked why you wear makeup in uniform? Or why you brush your hair and care how it looks? Or why you tighten your pants “too tight.” Or been told that you are too “manly,” “too skinny,” “too small,” or “you’re provocative” because of your curves or way you look that you can’t help? - If you’re a female in this field, especially an attractive or curvy girl, you’re GOING TO be ridiculed. You’re going to be mocked, made fun of, talked about poorly, judged by looks. - Here’s the thing; when you genuinely love yourself and others and what you’re doing while radiating the love of Jesus & walking in your calling, the enemy WILL try to knock you down. Did you know the enemy only attacks things of value? He sees you walking in God’s calling for your life, helping and inspiring others, and he will do EVERYTHING in his power to prevent you, stop you, discourage you, and talk you out of things meant for you. He does this through words, judgmental unbelievers, temptation; the devil has a bag of tricks up his sleeve. Don’t give in. Don’t be discouraged. Don’t throw in the towel. Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can. So be a light to others. Keep shining. Keep doing you. Keep staying in your lane, inspiring, and making a difference. . . . . . #firefighter #firefighterworkouts #sweaty #ems #firefighterfitness #firefighterworkout #fitfirefighter #femalefirefighter #thinredline #fitfemalefirefighter #paramedic #fitforduty #womeninuniform #functionaltraining #medic #firstresponder #firedepartment #onduty #fitnessmotivation #mediclife #functionalfitness A post shared by Presley Pritchard (@presleykp.fit) on Feb 28, 2019 at 1:42pm PST
În replică, Presley Pritchard spune că a trimis superiorilor documente de la brandurile cu care colaborează pentru a dovedi că postările sponsorizate nu au nicio legătură cu departamentul de pompieri.
