  • [01 JUN] PAPER CUT — Gen Z Opts Out, HR Goes Stealth, Entry-Level Jobs Vanish
    May 31 2025

    Gen Z would rather scrub hospital floors than code in a surveillance-heavy tech culture. Entry-level roles are evaporating. HR and DEI are going stealth to survive. And oddly enough, Unilever’s ice cream factory workers have more job security than most knowledge workers.

    This week’s Paper Cut slices through the spin to give HR and employer brand leaders the insight they actually need. No fluff, just facts. Here’s what’s really going on at the edge of work.
