With little more than three years of experience, he decided to create the TikTok account Tonosterpaints, which reaches more than 1.2 million followers. On the platform, since 2019, the young man showed what the paint mixing process was like, which aroused the curiosity of users.

After discovering the worker, the company decided to investigate the account on social networks and, finally, Piloseo ended up fired for using his work time and company equipment.

Piloseno said that “first they accused me of stealing, I told them that I bought all my painting (…) They made me answer a lot of questions, like when was I doing this, where, if there was someone in the store while I was filming. There was never anyone with me while I was doing it. “

He also explained that he had seen viralization as an opportunity for the company. He assured that he created the account “to show the company how TikTok has a younger base” and “to develop brand awareness through TikTok.”

However, all the videos played against him. His termination letter specifies that “at the conclusion of our investigation, it has been determined that he is in violation of several policies of gross misconduct.”

The company explained that the separation, which occurred last July, came after a “complaint from a client.
