Emily Blunt giving career advice on ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ press tour


There was absolutely no answer she could have given that question that wouldn’t sound either absolutely tone deaf or irrelevant to the movie.

Can you imagine if she said you have to suck it up cause you need the money? Or the flipside, leave your job and follow your passion? I can’t think of a single nice answer that would fit the context of the interview.

Oh boy, I’m sure people are going to react well to this and NOT over analyse it as anything other than a light-hearted, unprepared-for response.

unfortunately there’s no way to answer this question without triggering the “she’s privileged” crowd

Look, if you are in a shitty job, the best thing you can do for yourself is quit. But also, if you like to eat and have to pay bills and you are not a multi-millionaire with loads of savings…do not quit.

But if your boss is putting you through physical and mental torture (which, weirdly enough, I have had a boss do to me by making us work 18-hour days, screaming at us and not letting us literally sleep, causing long-term damage to our physical and mental health)…please do quit. But if you think the current job market is so awful that all you will end up with are rejections because no company is actually truly hiring and there are historic layoffs happening every few days…then don’t quit. Who needs sleep anyway?

I don’t think Emily meant any harm😭💀

She tried to answer the question to the best of her ability, I’m sure people will be normal about this.
