Peter’s joining from Sardinia this week, which means the vibe is loose but the topics are not. First up: Gen-Z parents have entered the chat at work, showing up to job interviews and calling managers to contest their kid’s firing. Peter and Laura’s rule is simple — unless your child is in a literal coma, hang up the phone. From there, we turn to HR, a department that’s had a rough couple of years and is now watching AI quietly take over its job. Peter, of all people, makes the case that this isn’t entirely bad news — right before explaining exactly how it goes horribly wrong. Then: tenure, the thing every professor was told was untouchable, turns out to be very touchable. A West Point professor challenges a gag rule and wins; a tenured economics professor at the New School gets laid off anyway, and the whole academic world is having a small crisis about what “lifetime job security” actually means. We close things out with LinkedIn’s new ranking of top colleges for career success — Princeton’s #1, feelings were had about alma maters — and a real conversation about whether the rankings measure anything a 17-year-old should actually care about.
