LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM: The Duke of Sussex's work at a life coaching firm is being questioned by staff members. Following the last week's layoffs of more than 100 employees from a San Francisco-based company named BetterUp, the staff members have turned against the Duke, who reportedly earns a seven-figure salary as Chief Impact Officer.
One employee concluded that Harry wasn't worth the hassle because he had turned into a "distraction." Harry's daily tasks were inquired about by another BetterUp employee. He retorted, "From what I see, I'm going to go with zero things." The workers voiced their concerns at a time when media experts have recommended that Harry and his wife Meghan rebrand themselves to save their waning Hollywood careers, as per reports.
Who owns BetterUp?
The CEO and co-founder of BetterUp, a platform for human transformation and pioneer in digital coaching, is Alexi Robichaux. The mission of BetterUp, to help everyone live more purposefully and passionately, is led by CEO Alexi. Recent setbacks have thrown their attempt to break into America off course, and it has been reported that celebrities are afraid of jeopardizing their popularity by being too close to the couple.
Renowned Hollywood agent Jeremy Zimmer criticized Meghan for having "not a great audio talent, or necessarily any kind of talent" after their lucrative Spotify deal was terminated. Kinsey Schofield, a commentator, and host of the Royal podcast, suggested that the couple change course and investigate reality television. It "would take all of the power away from these tabloids and paparazzi that Harry and Meghan claim to loathe," she said, giving people an authentic look into their lives.
The couple's reputation in the United States is also said to have suffered due to controversy surrounding an alleged car chase in New York in May. Celebrity publicist Mitchell Jackson asserted that the couple had too much baggage and that red-carpet event planners were concerned about their clients being overshadowed.
'They're untrustworthy and melodramatic'
"The problem with Meghan and Harry is that after the whole car chase thing in New York, people just feel like they're untrustworthy and melodramatic and it's going to revolve around them and they will distract from what they're trying to promote," he claimed for those promoting a movie or fashion product.
The Duke has reportedly turned into a "target" for irate BetterUp staff
The Duke has reportedly turned into a "target" for irate BetterUp staff, according to sources. An ex-employee claimed that, at first, he found Harry's arrival to be "cool." "They did, however, add that the staff soon started to find him to be a distraction and that many were concerned his ongoing dramas might harm the company's reputation," as reported by DailyMail.
