Welcome back to another edition of Paper Cut, your weekly slice of HR reality straight, sharp, and strategy-first.
If work felt weird this week, that’s because it was. Gen Z wants nothing to do with your office foosball table. Entry-level jobs are vanishing faster than your company’s DEI statement. And AI? It’s quietly vacuuming up what’s left of human purpose in your hiring plan.
Meanwhile, HR’s gone into stealth mode, middle managers are ghosting the grind, and even ice cream makers are making bolder workforce promises than your C-suite.
