Have you ever worked with someone, or been the someone, that had an "interesting" past at work? What happened? Did it cause issues?
Also, before we get started, no, I won't tell you who she is.
Anyway, my company just got a new round of hires and in there was a rather attractive young woman. This raised eyebrows, particularly with me, since women are not very well represented in my industry, particularly good looking ones. To make a long story short, I'm a man in his 20s who watches his share of porn and I'm 95% sure the new hire and a certain ex-porn actress are the same person. And this isn't based on just "Oh, they look the same!" which actually wasn't true to me at first. I didn't think they looked enough like each other, but other information(real name, birthdate[footnote]No, I didn't go mission impossible on the new hire's file. My company celebrates employee birthdays.[/footnote], physical data like height that you can pretty much eyeball, and other careers matched up perfectly. But then I'm always talking about how make-up, photoshop, and a bit of hair coloring can drastically change a person's appearance, so I shouldn't be surprised that there is a little bit of a difference. Then it was later that I found pictures of the actress that did match up pretty much perfectly. I think they were the most recent ones from the actress's career. And just to make this clear, all the information I knew about the new hire was information she volunteered when speaking to people, so I didn't go creepy or anthing. I just kept my ears open. Anyway, if their not the same person it is an incredible coincidence that I'll laugh about how dumb I was. But if it's true....
....I won't do a damn thing. I will tell no one and keep this entirely to myself. Everyone has things they want to keep to themselves and its not my place to start gabbing about it to coworkers. The funny thing is, before I knew this, I just thought of her as "Oh, the cute new girl." This actually humanized her to me considering when I read why the porn actress left the business and now any former attraction is gone and is replaced by admiration for her courage. Not that I have an issue with porn actors in the first place. I'll actually probably treat her more normal now than I would have before, not that I suspect she will stick around long since my industry had a high turn over rate and I don't think the pay is good enough to make a career out of it when you're young, and especially when you're young and attractive($13 an hour is pretty low for a career, right? Or am I wrong?). Hell, I probably won't even be here a full year before I move on. However, now I'm actually a bit worried about my co-workers. Some of them are good guys, but most are gossiping gibbons. Especially one female co-worker of ours, the only other kinda cute female, started almost immediately gossiping and talking shit about the new hire behind her back about the most inane bullshit. I can't imagine the shitstorm that will happen if the pornography thing gets out.
So, have you had any experiences like this?
