The Kickass Masterminds Intern Controversy began in 2019 when a Texas-based marketing agency screenshotted a job applicant's bikini photo from her personal Instagram and reposted it on their corporate account as a 'warning' to other candidates. The applicant, Emily Clow, shared the incident on Twitter, leading to a massive viral backlash against the agency's CEO, Sara Christensen. The incident became a symbol of toxic work culture and the debate over the boundaries between personal life and professional employment. Memes surrounding this event typically highlight corporate overreach, the irony of an agency acting 'unprofessionally' while lecturing others, and the shift in modern workplace etiquette regarding social media.
