Jody Foster quote from a Guardian Interview/relating to Gen Z:

[Titus Andronicus]

She said, "They’re really annoying, especially in the workplace."

She continued, stating, "They’re like, ‘Nah, I’m not feeling it today, I’m gonna come in at 10.30am.’ Or, like, in emails, I’ll tell them this is all grammatically incorrect, did you not check your spelling? And they’re like, ‘Why would I do that, isn’t that kind of limiting?’"

..............................................................

She also gets into what it is like to raise two sons as a woman with a wife and some other topical issues, but the above thoughts were the highlight.

[THE_DEVIL]

Things are only annoying if you let them be

 

[goldmom]

She’s a fabulous actress and smart as hell to boot. I’m a huge fan of everything she’s done. That new series she’s got coming on HBO Max looks really intriguing.

 

[millah_22]

I bet she opens so many phishing emails.

 

[Flie]

Some of that just comes from being young. Millennials have/had similar attitudes.

Not a fan of generalizations.

Every generation is more alike than they're are different.

We just age and see things differently.

Would you promote a person who could not write a letter or an email?

Miss Foster, along with her wife is raising two sons who see the world through a lens similar to her own, but my guess is that they will ultimately thrive because of it.

 

[jberesford]

I still would, even though she wouldn't... That's an incredibly fit 60 when they filmed Nyad.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

She was on CBS Sunday Morning today. She is talented. But I find her annoying

 

[millah_22]

like "nah im not feeling it" annoying or "grammar in their emails" annoying?

 

[OutbackBowl2017]

She wears the pants in that family.

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

Would you promote a person who could not write a letter or an email?

Nope.

But that doesn't mean those deficiencies can be attributed to an entire generation.

 

[bhawk24bob]

The good thing is that they're easily ignored in the workplace because they avoid interacting with people, don't like writing, can't show up on time or at all, can't be reached during or outside of work hours, etc.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

like "nah im not feeling it" annoying or "grammar in their emails" annoying?

I just don't see much breadth in her work. She seems like whiner that is now pissed that she is getting to the age that she can't get the roles she once could. Happens to a lot of people.

 

[Moral]

Once again the older generation is disappointed in the younger generation and their lack of effort nowadays. Luckily the younger generation also knows the older generation is why everything sucks now.

Rinse and repeat this until we are all dead.

It’s Jodie, not Jody. You should take her advice and check your spelling.

Agree with everything except being reached outside of work hours. That’s my time.

OK ... I stand corrected. Thanks for knowing more about the topic than I do. It takes the edge off a little.

Btw, if you don't think this is a good example of the vast majority of the types of texts and tweets by Gen Z and younger, then you're not paying attention/don't care and can't really factually comment on the subject...................thanks for playing though.

Strange. We have some Gen Z people at work and none of them talk like that and they all send and receive emails. I'll bring this matter to their attention tomorrow. Maybe I will challenge one of them to write a letter.

It was literally in what you posted. Boomers.

And I appreciate you sticking up for your fellow Gen Z co-workers that are factually in the minority if I didn't make that clear.................

Please do go through the effort to have them write a letter. I'll get my people to evaluate them in due time.

It's like they reverse mortgaged their brains too.

What experience does Jodie Foster have in “the workplace”?

I have no experience in her career field but I think the thousands of people who show up every day to be a part of it would call it a workplace.

Every young generation since the dawn of time. This too shall pass and they will grow up

Low key she kind of sucks as a director.

I asked one of them first thing if they could write a letter to me. I made up a reason that somewhat made sense although probably not first thing on a Monday. After some back and forth, they assured me they were quite capable of writing a letter ("my ancestors used to do such things") but that they weren't going to do it and couldn't remember the last time they wrote a letter. To be honest, I can't remember the last time I wrote an actual letter and I'm gen X. No cap.

I remember gen X'ers being viewed similarly when we entered the workforce. Waste of space, don't know how to communicate, using slang the old people didn't understand, too absorbed in the internet, not caring enough about our jobs etc...

Millennials were viewed the same way if not worse. Remember when everyone was complaining about millennials in the workplace? Graduating with their three year business admin degrees and immediately demanding six figure salaries as if they were owed something like that. They wanted to skip the earning your dues part and jump straight to the seasoned veteran status. Frequently talking about how they weren't going to waste their lives in 40 hour per week office jobs like the previous generations. "No thanks bruh, I choose life" and then wondered why they weren't earning what Boomers and Gen X were making.

There is no such thing as “generations” outside a single family line.

I remember being questioned about killing every industry when I was 22 years old and in a recession.

This is so moronic. How in the hell is being on a set, making a movie (in a lot of instance, leading the production of it) not considered a workplace?
