I agreed. A coworker like Emily seems tough at first but once you adapt to the work environment we’ll learn the she’s actually teaching the most effective way to do something. And the way she told Andy to only handle the skirts from CK while she handled the rest (which was more than Andy’s), showed her that she’s professional and a pretty nice coworker.

Gotta love Nigel - he's the sweetest and most genuine. Really felt bad when Miranda betrayed him.

[@GullibleTarget]

@@ArJay1688 she did'nt betray him. She chose for herself. Just like Nigel did. He did not have to take the James Holt job when it was offered to him. He did not have to tell Irv how much Miranda cancelling a photoshoot cost him. If Emily knew about Jacqueline Follet, then so did Nigel and Nigel knew that Irv thought that Runway could be run on a lower budget and he threw Miranda under the bus in front of an intern when they were in the elevator.He clearly outgrew his position at Runway but still does it. Whether it was a ruse by Miranda or not; he CHOSE to leave Runway and Miranda CHOSE not to get fired so she did that whole switcheroo thing with Jacqueline and blackmailed Irv. She did what she had to do as a boss and it cost her one of her underlings. The reason why Nigel accepts it, is because he knows the fashion industry, he knows about the publishing world and more than that he loves it and is willing to take the bad with the good and should be happy Miranda didn't fire him. Who knows; maybe she did.. The great thing about Miranda is that you never know what makes her tick but she knows what makes others tick. She insults Emily because she knows it actually motivates her. She heaps praise on Nigel for just doing his job because she knows it will make him work harder and she purposely sets difficult tasks for Andy because she knows that it will make an indecisive girl get so upset or angry that, she'll have to make a decision. To make a choice that is right for her and her alone. That was Miranda's lesson to Andy: You ALWAYS have a choice and nobody has to like or understand your choice as long as you make it. You won't get anywhere if you keep saying things like:"I could never do that to..." how do you know you haven't done so, already? Every choice we make, affects someone. Edit: Miranda is big on loyalty. She might not like you or she might think you're an idiot but you show her loyalty and she'll pay you back. Emily is super loyal but not very good at organizing. But she is the nr1 assistant. Why? Because Miranda knows that Emily needs help but wants her to think she is the best PA in the world because Emily is loyal to the bone. Same with Andy. She thought that Andy was very capable and ambitious but also unimaginative, indecisive and over confident. But she also recognized her drive and ofcourse; her loyalty. She was impressed that despite Andy's disdain towards the fashion world, she she showed fierce loyalty-not because she had to but, because it's in her nature.

I have seen thousands of Emily Charltons when I lived in London. My friend and I would regularly 'roleplay' and pretend to be these fashion/status-obsessed,ambitious fashionistas. Emily Blunt must have seem them because as 'over the top' she seems to be in the movie; there are people who are actually like that and I find it hilarious and genius, how Emily Blunt just uses all of that material. It reminds me of an interview where Meryl Streep was asked why she was so good at accents. She said:'I'm not; I just LISTEN'. She observes people, too. There is no magic trick to it. I think that's why Meryl was virtually gushing over Emily Blunt. Amazing actress. Yes: I'm obsessed with this movie. Mainly because the cast was simply perfect.

[@victormathis529]

That fact that she ended the conversation with, "And Emily?" & a death stare at those ugly shoes and a simply, "That's all." Was pure gold, but I also notice that Maranda stilled referred to her as Emily even though she's already been told that her name was Andy.

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

All the horrible articles in fashion magazines had names attached to them but today you hear crickets in the rooms where fashionista, hipster activists dwell and brutal conversations ought to be conducted; I feel like telling them to make some phone calls and ask the people who wrote them and edited these articles why they were published. Instead they lose themselves in abstracts and theorising about why things in the past were the way they were, always ending up blaming the wrong humans and the wrong cultural mechanism. The answers are on the other end of a phone line for Christ's sake, these industry journalists etc aren't dead, they walk amongst you like the drippy, hypocritical, sanctimonious little morons they've always been. Cowardly little dorks...god, what a protection racket still goes on in the land of fashion, entertainment and the media. For shame. They all point the finger at the wrong 'villains' and always have done, obsessed with the 'objectifying' evil sexist blokes down the mechanics yard. All this is to do with 'Dave', 'Roy' and 'John' is it? Oh give me a break. The people shaping culture were in THEIR arty farty crowd, not some shlumpy mechanics yard. The gaze and scrutiny still hasn't shifted to where it critically needs to be in order for all of us to understand what our incompetent, hubristic cultural architects were responsible for and yet refuse to admit to or explain. As usual. I wish they'd stop pestering the average bloke on the street and start paying attention to gay men and women in these industries and professions; they're the ones with REAL cultural power and they always have been. It's very sad that what I'm saying is still so under the radar or so taboo in the land of the social justice warriors. None of them have the guts to critique their own peer group.

[@kizzy5053]

I think everyone's said it by now, but Emily would be a great person to work with. She's catty, but she's not sabotaging Andy or letting her fail. She's taking over when time is short (getting Patrick on the phone), managing 99% of the tasks and only leaving Andy with the single clear task (skirts from Calvin Klein, while Emily attempts to sort through and make sense of Andy's rambled rememberings), and goes out of her way to explain the book, their job roles and how they differ, and even the tasks Andy should prepare to take on. Once Andy stops trying to needlessly set herself against her coworkers and try to actually do well at her job, they get along fine, too, so you can tell most of Emily's attitude comes from the fact that Andy thinks herself better than a job that Emily herself adores and is good at

[@frumaatholoid]

I think people are overthinking things here. Emily's attitude comes from thinking SHE's superior to Andy. She thinks Andy's a frumpish, hideously dressed loser. Any thing she does to help Andy is strictly for the purposes of self preservation. Not sure she is ideal company to spend a lot of time or, much less, work with.

[@GullibleTarget]

@@frumaatholoid Emily is fun to hang with IF she likes you. She warmed to Andy a little bit. When Andy started paying attention to her appearance, Emily was...a bit less chilly. The Emily in the book is a lot more nuanced. She slowly starts seeing an ally in Andy but she doesn't like Andy's disdain for the job(Andy in the book is a total whiner and a willfull brat) they do get along because she notices that it makes their job easier and they actually bond over a lot of things. The movie version is a bit more cartoonish. You are not wrong in your assessment of Emily's character but it's just how things are at work. We work together to cover eachothers asses and to get that check.

[@nazanfidan9417]

it is bcos she knows if andy fails then it means emily fails, too bcos she is her superior. She did not sabotage Andy bcos she new the fact that sabotaging her means sabotaging herself. So there is no pure goodness beneath :)

[@sonicxis4ever]

I never really interpreted that way. I always say Andy as a victim

[@Nocturne22]

@@frumaatholoid She wasn't nice, but Emily was professional and actually a good mentor in the way she taught Andi. Remember, Andi's role is to lighten Emily's work, so even if you call that self preservation, she still did everything she could to make sure Andi actually learned how to do things properly, only stepping in when Andi was clearly screwing up. And it's not Emily's fault that she assumed Andi knew how to do the simple job of answering a phone and knowing basic fashion knowledge. And of course Emily thinks she's superior: she objectively is in the context of their work. If a new sous chef shows up in a restaurant and can't slice vegetables and doesn't know what a whisk is but was hired by the owner for vague reasons, the other chefs are gonna laugh at them and also resent them. Same thing here.

[@Hekateras]

@@ReginaTrans_ Honey, listen. It's possible for more than one character in a movie to be unsympathetic, or have unsympathetic aspects. Why are you referencing some mythical consensus on Twitter and KZbin as if that's the end of the discussion? Also, that's not what a "villain" is in a story arc. Miranda is an egotistic monster who gleefully endangers her employees' physical and mental health for a power trip, and if you claim that you'd happily work for someone who'd ruin your career over slicing your hand open with a letter opener, or being too sick to attend a gala, then you're either lying, way too desperate, or hopelessly naive. Emily is a suffering employee who used to be at the bottom of the pecking order, right up until she herself gets power over someone else and uses it to bully them. (However, she's not without kindness, her viciousness is something she's very much been shaped into by her work environment.) Andy shows up to a fashion job despite not taking fashion seriously or even bothering to fake it. She believes herself to be above the people around her who've made something she sees as frivolous their life's work. Andy's friends and boyfriend happily accept the perks they get from her job (free stuff) but make unreasonable demands of her despite knowing how stressful and demanding her job is, and make things harder for her rather than support her. However, THEY are written a bit sloppily and their nastiness to Andrea isn't as entertaining, and also pretty hard to believe (unlike the fairly true-to-life hostile work environment stuff above). That, and only that, is the reason for whatever "Andy's bf and friends were the real bad guys" hot takes you've been seeing around.

That's why Miranda never fired them. Nigel is obviously very good at his job. Emily can be replaced, easily. But where are you going to find a worker THAT loyal and dedicated? That is what makes Emily such an asset.

[@GullibleTarget]

But Nigel...on second thought, he would've buried Miranda if he had the chance. Remember when Irv asked Nigel about that photo shoot? He did'nt have to answer that question. He could've said: 'I have no idea? The outcome was very good, though! It looked amazing.She made the right call; people will love this" but instead, he threw her under the bus and said how much it cost. In front of a new employee...that's....not very chique. It's business, so I don't blame him. But if I were Miranda; I would keep an eye on Nigel. He was a bit too eager to leave. Understandably so. I'm sure they're cool but, they are no friends. Their loyalty extends to the office building and no further and that's fine.

[@HeyMyLifeIsLibby]

@@GullibleTarget unfortunately Miranda did Nigel AND Emily dirty. Miranda did fire Emily to promote Andy and only brought Emily back out of desperation when Andy quit. She passed Nigel up on a promotion to keep her own job too. I love Miranda as an overall character but she milked Emily and Nigel for everything they were worth. How they had such character to still stick around is a testament to their integrity.

[@GullibleTarget]

@@HeyMyLifeIsLibby Emily was never fired. Miranda needed the strongest team possible for Paris that no longer included Emily but that didn't mean she was fired. Plus: Miranda wasn't sure she was going to have a job after Paris, it all depended on that meeting with Irv. Had Irv stuck to his guns, Nigel still would've left. And Emily would not be around to see her hero being demoted. Also: I don't think Emily would survive a reorganisation. Jacqueline has no loyalty towards Emily. Miranda's job was on the line and so was Emily's but Miranda told nobody and all the while, her marriage was coming to an end. The more I think about it, the more rational it all seems. The thing is: could I do the same thing? We like to think that we wouldn't. But if it's something you deeply care about? What wouldn't I choose to get what I want? And would i deny myself not getting what I wanted because I 'choose' to not do harm? But every professional choice we make is going to upset or negatively impact someone else. I don't think I can be that ruthless. I would have to have no people beside me. Only above and below: something to aspire to and something else to step on to reach new heights. One thing though: if a boss pulls a stunt like this but their personal assistant and chief advisor stick around: that means they love their job enough. It reminds me of that documentary with Anna Wintour. Several employees were interviewed saying how tough Anna can be and that you sometimes have to swallow your ego but also how downright soul crushing it can be. So why stick around; because they LOVE their job. I see the same with Emily and Nigel. Nigel's love for his job is what makes him good. Emily's devotion to fashion makes her a mediocre PA but extremely loyal and hard working.I bet Miranda hires second assistants because she knows Emily has many talents but not panicking under pressure isn't one of them. She does repay people when the time is right and buys their loyalty by playing her cards close the her chest and is very frugal when it comes to paying compliments. But what I like the most is that she plays to peoples' strengths. That is what a good leader does: you figure out what makes people tick and then use it to trigger them to be the best they can be. It makes up for where they fall short.

I'd take it as a compliment if Miranda remembers my name. Also, I like how Miranda never called Andi "Andi." Instead, she prefers to use "Andrea" which is quite classy for some reason.

[@GullibleTarget]

It's also hierarchical. If she calls her 'Andy' that's like her calling Emily 'Ems'. Depends on the environment you work in but I would not feel comfortable with my superior and someone with more seniority to call me by a diminutive of my full name. I'm not a child at least view me as an adult. I think that goes double for women in business. It's like: If you want to survive in corporate America as a woman; don't allow anyone to find reason to see you as anything less than that. "Andy Sachs" is a nice gal, with nice friends and she does favours and she also interns as a PA and hopes to become a journalist. Andrea Sachs is personal assistant to editor in chief of Runway magazine and if there is anything you need from the big boss, you need to talk to her. She is persuing a career in publishing. Has a different ring to it. Miranda was covertly putting respect on her name to teach her that in the professional world: there is no Andy. Andy is a little girl. Andrea is a professional.

[@liamross340]

it was also a mispronunciation. Andy pronounces her own name as An-Dree-Uh but Miranda would pronounce it An-Dray-Uh. it’s clearly a power play because at that point andy didn’t even care she was just happy she wasn’t being called emily
