Re: Elle Florence
Hm....the verdict is still out on this one. They aren't Canadian enough for me! LOLOLOL! Give me suburban Allie and minor league hockey Mike any day of the week.
I mean all she does is bark about not having enough time. Stop vlogging then...? This soapbox of prioritizing your time, sorry but nothing she shares is new information by a long haul.
Her makeup looks terribly heavy and her lips are distracting.

Re: Elle Florence
Based on recent comments on her channel, I have definitely taken notice that her "lawyerly" work is apparently not demanding at all; based on her vlogs she seems to have weekends and evenings completely free, she often uses her lunch break to go to the mall. Seems like an 8-4 type of gig. She chooses to fill that free time with her side-business, shopping addiction youtube channel, and with a teaching appointment. While I think she has every right to call herself a lawyer (she has the qualifications), I also find the way she emphasizes her "lawyerly" career to be somewhat misleading. She seems to live a balanced and productive life for a youtuber- with the exception of all the shopping; which is what brought me here to complain initially.
I also think her makeup is overdone. Looks beauty-pagenty to me and not classy career lady.

Re: Elle Florence
She has mentioned going in to work around 8:30 before. Also, a recent comment asks how she finishes work so early, as a lawyer, and her response "I usually leave at 5 PM, and work very diligently throughout the day to make sure I finish everything, including eating at work. Ultimately however, which job and area of law chosen also plays a big role in your hours and flexibility ."
Another lie? She has said in another vlog that she eats at her desk so she can go Pacific Center to shop during the lunch hour. So if she doesn't go into work until 8:30, ducks out noon-1:00 to shop, gets back, heat lunch, work, leaves work at 5:00. She's basically working 7.5 hours unless she justifies using 2 fifteen minute breaks as part of her shopping time? Maybe she doesn't shop everyday and makes up the time throughout the week? Anyway, she basically has not been consistent in what she shares. One vlog it's (paraphrasing) "I eat at my desk so I have time to shop" and in a comment it's "I eat at my desk so I can leave at 5:00". I think she has even admitted to doing some online shopping from work. Yeah, it doesn't sound like she has a very demanding job at all.

Re: Elle Florence
Its clear she works in an office but she's probably a junior lawyer, she's clearly not a partner. She also may not practice a certain sect of law that requires her to be in court frequently. She could be a copyright attorney.

Re: Elle Florence
Mandatory CLE just to keep the license active. It's like having to do state inspections and mandatory maintenance on a car you never drive.

Re: Elle Florence
That's just another lie. Firms run on billable hours. They would never want anyone who "works diligently" and completes work in a shorter amount of time than others. This girl clearly thinks her viewers are idiots.

Re: Elle Florence
Where does she get the nerve to say she is a lawyer and therefore implying a practicing lawyer, when she isn't, on such a public platform? Everyone knows that's what is meant when you say 'I'm a lawyer' so let's not play word games Elle. And put herself out there on youtube to jeopardize her credibility and career? I truly don't get it, she's looking for trouble and only has herself to blame. She blatantly avoided this question her subscribers (politely) asked
Her job schedule is similar to mine and I wouldn't dare give people on the internet advice on how to run their lives under the pretext that I'm a 'girlboss'. Especially since her side business is all thanks to youtube, and her youtube channel centres mainly on the idea of her being a practicing lawyer, which she isn't!!!
It's one lie/misleading whatever you want to call it, but she's making a lot of money off it.

She's not a lawyer. She has a regular office job.

Re: Elle Florence
Considering she's deleting comments - do you think anyone is going to ask her again?

Re: Elle Florence
underneath that demure/"classy"/stepford wife projection that she created lies a real psycho girl, not girl boss! How rude it is to delete the comments like that!? People should strike back and dislike her videos on a large scale

Re: Elle Florence
Thank you, Cherrise. I also think that she may have some sort of personality disorder (a combination of multiple PDs, actually). She reminds me of Trump--A narcissistic, compulsive liar who oppresses freedom of speech because she can't handle the truth.

Re: Elle Florence
"I was in private practice when I was training. Then I left private practice."
It's not "leaving private practice" if you stop going there because your internship is over.
Geez, everything that comes out of her mouth is always crooked. How's that possible? She should work for Trump. She would excel there.

Re: Elle Florence
I think she is trying to rub in the #girlboss title even more, to stir the pot. Any publicity is good publicity to her, so she is just wanting people to keep talking about her.
Re: Elle Florence
Elle's deleting comments. She sure does got butthurt easily. I thought her viewers are her friends? I guess only if you agree with everything she says and does. Rather immature.
Re: Elle Florence
She comes across as rather vindictive and underhanded. She's going to push the lawyer/girlboss thing to the limit just to prove her point and shove it to her naysayers. "I'm going to show them" attitude.Ccc123000 wrote:I think she is trying to rub in the #girlboss title even more, to stir the pot.

Re: Elle Florence
She's just so patronizing, like the "talk" she had during the video felt like a lecture from my mother, I spent the whole time rolling my eyes not everyone who watches her videos are 14 year old who hang on her every word. People are going to criticize on YouTube and in real life. Her deleting all the comments she disapproves on (AKA calling her on her shit) just shows how childish and bratty she really is
