Is the Era of the “Bad Boss” Over? Gen Z, Media Shakeups & Power Shifts Explained
The “boss from hell” is back—at least on screen. With the return of The Devil Wears Prada, the iconic Miranda Priestly reminds us of a workplace era defined by fear, control, and impossible expectations.
But in 2026… does that kind of leadership still survive?
In this episode of The Karel Show, we break down:
- Whether toxic bosses are finally being pushed out
- How Gen Z and Millennials are reshaping workplace culture
- Why HR policies, social media, and public accountability are changing power dynamics
Then: the shakeup in media.
Late night is under pressure—Jimmy Kimmel facing backlash, Stephen Colbert stepping away. Is edgy, opinion-driven TV fading out?
And in news:
- Major station shifts (KNX, KGO and more)
- Ongoing pressure on media organizations
- The bigger question: Is independent journalism under threat—or just evolving?
Plus: what it all means for the future of work, media, and truth itself.
