Hi all, work for an England based software company for just over a year.

Just to make it clear, appearing on camera was not a part of my job description. I'm comfortable on camera, and when I started, I offered to help my then-manager by shooting a Tutorial on a new tool.

This manager was super laid back, and had full trust in my work. Now after a company restructuring, I'm under a newly joined manager who is trying - atleast in my eyes - to kick up a fuss for the sake of making changes.

They're making requests of me and my work in a way that you'd expect a professional spokesperson to, but that's not what I am. I'd like to revoke consent to appear on the channel.

• The equipment has always been mine. Cameras, green screen etc.
• I never signed anything to reflect this new responsibility.
• And yes, I'm well aware that this may put me in their bad books, but I'm not concerned. Thank you but no need to warn me about the dog house haha.

My questions are

1. Is there anything else I need to know about this?

And 2. I understand this will be going forward, but is there anything I can do about the videos already up?

Thanks so much!

EDIT:

You've all been incredibly helpful, and thank you for being so polite. Got what I needed, thank you! (Mods welcome to mark solved). Appreciate you.

There a hundreds of content creators who specialise in coaching. Advice. “I can get you to 100K”, “Follow these tips” etc - but every single one seems to be on the avenue of “make a course, sell a service, make money”.

Is there ANY resource, be it a creator account, a coach or a subreddit that specialises in ENTERTAINMENT Creators not looking to sell stuff, but just build an audience?

I make pop-culture content, and my aim is just to grow, but I keep seeing tips like “tell the audience why you’re an expert in that field, that’ll get them to buy”.

When it comes to pop-culture, movies, TV etc - everyone else in this field who’s successful is interviewing celebrities on the red carpet. How do people compete with that?

So yeah, any resources or creators that advise people just looking for that audience?

I'm trying to do a fun tiktok account, to help distract me from the soul-crushingness of my 9-5, and wanna' pour more in. The only problem? Every single social media advice subreddit on this site is filled with "where can I buy followers?", "anyone wanna buy my account?", adverts for third party sites or just straight up AI written trash.

Please, if anyone knows any good subs for this (and not just pasting r/socialmedia without visiting it themselves), I'd be super appreciative.

My wife thinks there can't be a good sub for this because people selfishly wanna' keep good tips to themselves. I really hope there's a better answer. Thanks all <3
