> Does that make my work output immediately tainted and the company has to immediately file for bankruptcy?

No, much easier just to fire you. You’ve shown a disregard for what is almost certainly company policy, and created legal risks for the company (e.g. if anyone walked in on you while your screen was showing naked people).



Choosing the right workplace (and thus boss) is important :)

> walked in on you while your screen was showing naked people

Why are they poking their eyes onto my screen?

Of course the underlying rule "making other coworkers uncomfortable is bad" completely makes sense. And we - probably - all know how above a certain company size these rules end up playing it too safe.


That must be up there on the "imaginary legal knowledge" shelf.


Involuntarily exposing your colleagues to pornography would more than suffice to create a hostile environment for the purposes of sexual harassment law.

Good luck convincing your HR / legal otherwise.
