Real Talk

Turns out, Adrienne’s boss had more issues than just her taking leave from work. He turned his computer screen towards her. It was Adrienne’s Instagram profile. For some reason, Adrienne knew exactly what is coming next. Her boss had issues with her posting photographs of herself in bikinis and swimsuits on her Instagram.

Restrictions

“It is not just about you, but all of us.”, the boss explained. As per him, the comments are true, her photographs are ruining the reputation of the German police. She cannot post pictures and be glad about the condescending remarks like “Hottest Police Woman”. He took a deep breath and said, “I’m afraid this has to stop, Adrienne.”

Taking A Decision

Adrienne told her boss that she needs some time to think about it. He unwillingly allowed it. She grabbed her bag and left his cabin with a heavy heart. How could she ever choose between the two? It is obvious being a police officer was her dream, but she was passionate about being an influencer too.

Time To Think

Adrienne knew that this should be an easy choice too. She gave up her traveling plans and came back because this job is her dream. So leaving Instagram should be easy too, but it really wasn’t. She has built a little community of people who follow her. They are her people, their support makes bad days easy for her. She can’t just give that up.

Follow Your Dream

But this job means everything to her. Very few people get to do what they always wanted to, and she is lucky to be one of those few people. She loves her job. Adrienne had a headache thinking about the situation she was in. She did not want to quit Instagram but losing her job was not a risk she is willing to take.

Negotiation

Adrienne decided to talk to her boss and find a middle ground. There must be some solution to this. A solution that does not result in her having to choose between the two things which comprise her life. He may refuse it bluntly but it was at least worth a shot, she wanted to try and ensure she did everything she could before having to give up something.
