Starbucks | Social media rules in spotlight after employee 'sacked' for making TikToks at work

A Starbucks worker says he was sacked after making TikTok videos about working for the company – claims which have put the issue of social media policies under the spotlight once again.

As reported by the Daily Dot, TikToker user @heyimozzy shared a video in which he claimed the coffee shop chain had told him: “Due to the nature of your TikToks we have decided to separate you from the company”.

According to the publication, previous videos of his included one “jokingly complaining about customers ordering frappuccinos during a busy period”, while another addressed the importance of prioritising mental health over work.

In a comment on the video, he said another barista told bosses about his TikTok activity, the Daily Dot said.
