A Gucci employee got sacked after flaunting her freebies on TikTok, and now juggles multiple gigs at once. 3 tips to prepare for an unexpected job loss
After landing a job as a sales associate at Gucci, TikToker Melanie Moradi posted an unboxing video of her uniform with the caption, "Should I just keep the bag and ghost?"
In other words, should she keep the free swag and leave her employer in the dust?
The luxury fashion brand fired her days later.

The April 4 video — set to the song “Gucci Gang” by Lil Pump — went viral, garnering 9.8 million views. Moradi’s haul from the company included three olive green blouses, a couple of navy blazer sets, shoes and accessories with the iconic brand’s logo.
She apparently had to return the items after she was let go, however, as she was still within her 90-day probationary period.
"They didn't fire me for the video itself. They fired me for my caption,” Moradi told Insider. “HR told me it didn't shine a good light onto Gucci."
Moradi revealed in subsequent videos she took the Gucci job hoping it would provide financial stability, but that she had a number of side hustles as well and by no means regrets losing the retail job.
Did she ‘fumble the bag’?
Moradi revealed to Insider that she hadn’t read Gucci’s training documents that detailed the company’s policies regarding social media use. Staffers are apparently allowed to post about the brand as long as they used their "best judgment" while doing so.
Her former manager initially requested she take the video down, an instruction she complied with at first. But after being fired, Moradi put the video back up on her account.
