Peter and Laura dig into where the actual legal exposure sits: if the termination was really about the medical disclosure, Netflix has a problem; if it was the sum total of \"behavior unbecoming of an executive,\" that's a different story entirely — and a reminder that company policy travels with you to every offsite, happy hour, and business trip.\nThen: a Wachtell Lipton partner and associate caught mid-makeout on a Bryant Park bench by a stranger with a camera, nine blocks from their office. He's married, she has a partner, and he's a partner at the firm to her associate — a combination that got him left off the six-lawyer defection to Gibson Dunn and landed him on administrative leave instead. Peter on why judgment, not just skill, is what firms actually pay for.\nFinally, the real conversation: a Fortune piece on Gen Z workers napping in movie theaters and crying in Aritzia fitting rooms to cope with workplace stress. Peter and Laura get into why this generation is hitting a harder wall than the ones before it — less in-person conflict practice growing up, employers openly talking about replacing them with AI, and a job market that made the entry-level seat itself feel like the finish line","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/h68Ux-68tZkpTFe8el3O0Db6g5OoDRotoszirBUrbeo/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84MmZi/NDkwZDdkNDcxZjAy/ODhhZjUzNzkxZjBl/NDA3NS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
