Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS co-founder has provoked significant public backlash following the issuance of remarks that have been widely characterized as controversial and potentially offensive.
Emma Grede, co-founder of SKIMS and a close associate of the Kardashian family, recently participated in an episode of The Diary of a CEO podcast hosted by Steven Bartlett, wherein she discussed the trajectory of her professional success.
In addition to her role as co-founder of the apparel brand SKIMS, Emma Grede also serves as co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Good American, a fashion venture launched in partnership with Khloé Kardashian, as well as co-founder of Safely, a home cleaning and self-care brand developed in collaboration with Kris Jenner.
During her recent appearance on The Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett, Grede appeared to endorse the Kardashian-Jenner ethos concerning professional ambition, suggesting that those who aspire to achieve comparable success must adopt a similarly uncompromising approach to work.
When asked to identify ‘red flags’ she observes in job candidates, Grede responded without hesitation, indicating she would terminate an interview upon being questioned about “work-life balance,” asserting unequivocally: “Work-life balance is your problem.”#newsafro_
