Glossy: Ambition, Beauty, and the Inside Story of Emily Weiss's Glossier
by

It felt like Meltzer was trying really hard to paint Emily Weiss as some kind of 'Devil Wears Prada' figure without making it too obvious.
Weiss’s so-called “missteps" (judged by the media) seemed to stem from moments when she tried to be vulnerable in personal Instagram captions or blog posts, only to face criticism. Then, when she shifted to a more business-focused persona, she was labeled cold and robotic.
Some of the "scandalous" details from Glossier employees that Meltzer included:
- Weiss would make friendly conversation with an employee then ask for a project update. The audacity!
- Employees complained that Weiss stocked organic foods for staff but *only* gave a 6% raise that year. How dare she.
- Some employees mocked Weiss behind her back for being socially awkward in private moments when she tried forming friendly connections with staff. This one was the pettiest of all.
Weiss just seems to be a successful & intelligent woman who wants to keep her private life private, which seems to personally bother journalist Meltzer. Oh, and Weiss is human -- there's your shocking twist.
I’m no Glossier fangirl (never even tried the brand), but the “bombshell� details Meltzer included here just make her—and the employees who dished them out—look petty.
