    It’s potentially worse, and stupider, than that.

    The bank didn’t fire her specifically because she posted the video where she made a couple faces after trying kombucha. They fired her because her face started to get used for the meme. Completely out of her control, because people started posting “thing I don’t like, thing I like” memes with this format, often times with various political messages. Basically someone else used her face in a “this brings joy, this does not bring joy” meme and she got canned because of the bank’s “image.” As if it was actually her saying these things.

      I mean, I hope she got a hell of a lawsuit out of that, because damn. Also its a bank so you know they have at least some money.
