This week, Syd has officially retired from LinkedIn and is now living her best soft-life fantasy—rebranding as a neighborhood photographer and making art, making friends, and making the golden years even golder. Meanwhile, Brit reenters the job market and hits rock bottom: she finds a listing that wants one person to be a CMO, barista, life coach, and full-stack developer… all for the pay of a fast food gig, in California, no less. Love that for us!

We also spiral into:

• Why every Bravo-lebrity and influencer has a podcast now (but ours is actually good, thanks)
• A tale of a man with three jobs—just for fun, apparently?
• The absolute nerve of companies using AI to screen applicants and then shaming you for using AI to apply
• The chaotic-but-cozy vibes of podcasting through late capitalism with high-quality audio and low tolerance for BS

Retirement is cute, but the rent is still due. *sigh*
