The most recent episode of the podcast has Media Queen, Oprah Winfrey, being most efficient by letting two of the mega-changes in the fortunes of the ladies she placed in front of the camera. The snippet of the video is so, as Oprah Winfrey is very radiant and jovial when she meets her two editors, Laura Brown and Kristina O’Neill, giving them her vibes and thinking of their joint professional journey. Winfrey refers to it as a win, taking the image of their meeting to be a very grand one, looking like a party in spite of the downbeat aspect of the book regarding unemployment.
Their soon-to-be-released missive, “All the Cool Girls Get Fired,” is not only a very suitable read for women to plan their significant career changes smoothly but also a very faithful book for both those who have unwantedly left the affected industries as a result of the media events causing layoffs and female workers facing job losses in various job market sections.
The expression to the podcast announcement was twofold, with one group of people half excited that Winfrey was going to host the show and the other half accusing the book of being too blunt. Commenters, who were on the supportive side, in one way or another, were surprised that the Queen of Television let the two go so easily and in addition to that, not everyone grew taller by wearing black.
The subject that mostly caught the imagination of the many different audiences was about transitioning and pivoting careers. One comment was, “What a powerful message and a great book to pick up.” “I love all the pivots women are making right now.” These people are already a part of the group of women who are changing their life course since the industry let them down or they got laid off.
On the other hand, there was a dissenting voice that totally hated what was going on and monthly commented, “Yuck, she’s hurt too many people,” but that was just one of the many cynicisms in the cave of generally whole-hearted compliments.
One viewer, who was so much into the vibes of the two media veterans and also the looks of the ladies, wrote this, “Get these girls on the road with their matching fits,” which implies that the slaughtered party was at one with each other and enjoying their company very much.
Oprah, by leading off with this one issue, maintained her mere dose-and-glow-of-confidence-and-self-improvement-show focus, the very thing of which it is the root, and the two people have owned up to the principal skills to be talked to that have explicated the demand so much so that it has almost turned into a longitudinal matter. It would be a very workable conversation to consider, and that probably will have to be seen as quite ambiguous in the eyes of the fashion and the business editors who were created by the industry, during the episode.
The release of the episode that is just at a time when a lot of people are still in the process of adapting to the new working scenarios and the resultant economic conditions because of the COVID-19 situation. The extensive editorial background of Brown and O’Neill at the reputable publishing houses made them the perfect pair to deal with the emotional and practical aspects of job loss.
The title of the book, “All the Cool Girls Get Fired,” advocates an opt-in attitude of job loss, and that it is often met with the employees of the Oprah show too. Also, the enthusiastic fans were reminded by the author’s page of the release date and were encouraged to pre-order the book.
