WATCH: Rachel Bloom Perfectly Sings The Challenges Of Being A Female Boss

Nobody quite nails the weird, difficult intricacies of life quite like Rachel Bloom. And even better, she does it in song.

Her latest spot-on musical number is all about the challenges of being a female boss, which includes: being nice but not too nice, dealing with mansplaining from your employees, balancing everyone’s feelings, and figuring out how much boob is too much boob to show at work.

Oh, and also why sobbing into your Ruth Bader Ginsburg pillow in the privacy of your office is always a good idea.

Watch below, and feel a lot less alone.

This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.

With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.

The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.

Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
