Microsoft will require 3 days in the office from 2026. Beyond “collaboration in the AI era,” could this also reflect a new productivity paranoia, i.e. fear that remote work hides opaque, hard-to-measure uses of AI tools? blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2025/09...

New FT analysis shows the gender pay gap starts even among grads of the same degree. Male maths grads in the UK most often become programmers (£49.6k after 5 yrs), women teachers (£34.3k). Not just about education. Career paths diverge from the start. www.ft.com/content/cb0e...

#Conscientiousness (the Big5 personality trait that better predicts career success) is in sustained decline, especially among young adults, just when we need it most. The good news: personality is malleable. The irony: rebuilding it will take… a lot of conscientiousness. www.ft.com/content/5cd7...
