It seems as though Kim Kardashian's notorious sentiments that 'nobody wants to work these days' may also be shared by her colleagues. 

SKIMS co-founder and close friend of the Kardashians, Emma Grede, recently appeared on the Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett to talk about her success. 

Along with being a co-founder of the clothing brand, Grede is also a co-founder and CEO of Khloe Kardashian's brand Good American, and co-founder of Kris Jenner's cleaning/self-care brand Safely. 

And it seems as though she has adopted the Kardashian-Jenner mindset toward work - insinuating that anyone who wants to be successful has to do the same. 

When asked about what Grede's 'red flags' are when interviewing someone, she immediately said that she would walk out on anyone who asks her about a 'work-life balance.'

'Work-life balance is your problem,' Grede said. 

'That's yours to figure out.'

She went on to explain that at her companies, no one is tied to their desk - people go to haircuts, appointments, things for their kids when they need to - and no one questions why someone might not be at their desk.

Grede is under fire for saying that a work-life balance for an employee is not the employer's responsibility on the Diary of a CEO podcast

'So when someone talks to me about their work-life balance in an interview process, I'm like "something is wrong with you,"' she said.

Interviewer Bartlett then told Grede that one-third of people he surveyed mentioned that a work-life balance was a priority wherever they worked.

When Bartlett said it wasn't something he'd personally choose for himself, Grede said that it was because he was ambitious, implying that someone without drive or passion would be thinking about a work-life balance. 

She explained that it's not expected that the average employee would be working seven days a week - but someone who has 'ambition' and wanted to be successful would have to work a little bit more. 

While the entire interview is over two hours long, the clip of Grede speaking specifically about work-life balance has circulated the internet and even made headlines - and the internet is not happy about it. 

'She's a red flag. Run,' one Instagram user commented on a Business Insider post about Grede's comments. 

'That's capitalism for you, businesses that prioritize profits over humanity,' another one wrote.
