In case you need any more proof that most companies are run by out of touch boomers who still think this whole "internet" thing is just a fad.Tony Piloseno, a senior at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, said he was fired from his part-time job at the local Sherwin-Williams store for making viral TikTok videos mixing paint.
The creator announced his firing earlier in November in a TikTok video that's since gone viral, earning more than 6 million likes since he posted it. He was fired in late July after working at the paint shop for three years, he told BuzzFeed News.
"Last year, I started making paint videos at the store showing everyone how satisfying paint mixing could be," he said in the video. "I noticed the videos were doing well and people seemed to be enjoying on TikTok."
