Reminder for anybody stressed out about work or thinking they're not working hard enough or disillusioned with Grace.
Approvals (which make up the majority of her day) = Basically pointless, either entirely pointless (such as deciding between different fonts for branding), relatively pointless (choosing between different copy writing or captions) or not really pointless (such as choosing colours for upcoming launches - but could 1000% be done simpler and better by someone qualified and put in the position to make such decisions) The approvals, guaranteed, are slowing down the team, are incredibly awkward and do very little to progress the work, it more hinders. Imagine in your job having to run everything you do by one person for the sole reason of giving them something to feel part of it.
I'm stacking shelves. "hey boss, should I stack this tin with my left or right hand".. Grace: "hmmm... left","hey boss, should I stack this tin with my left or right hand".. Grace: "hmmm... right" = "approvals"
At shooting (the second biggest parts of her day) = going to a photoshoot for an upcoming launch, which she didn't organise or plan, dropping in and sitting about. Can do as little as sit in a comfy chair and post the odd story or not even do that, or could be involved as in making basic decisions "get a few more close ups", "I saw a shoot where they did this, try this" again, not needed or getting in the way. Imagine a professional photographer who knows what to do, getting somebody telling them what to do or giving them suggestions. Id imagine Grace in her head feels she's super involved and integral to the whole thing by doing this, but would it be significantly different if she was away for brunch, no. Also - pepper in approvals and maybe a separate business call and Grace feels like she's superwoman doing 10 things at once! Ultimate productivity!! But also, buy my book about how we should work hard and hardly work and work culture is toxic and I hate the right and landlords must suffer but im also about to own 4 properties.
Team meetings/pitches/calls = probably just basic chats on how the businesses are doing. Talk about upcoming launches. They decide not to do anything about the terrible quality as the sales keep rolling in. Here's a pretty purple bar chart showing profits go up. Nothing major.
Grace inserts herself into areas and fabricates an itinerary to make it seem like she's more involved/important than she is. Grace could go on a 4 year break to Europe and never look at anything and the businesses would still run themselves and be successful. Obviously it's basically influencer merch, so it's helpful that she posts about it and pretends that people are supporting all her hard work but otherwise the work she lists out is insignificant.
