[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're terrible. None of the 20-somethings on my team know how to use Microsoft 365. I would like the Gen Z people to take Microsoft training. Sorry, but most enterprises don't use Google Docs, they use Microsoft. Learn it.

Also, accept your meeting invitations.

As someone who had a job at a start up that is way harder to get into than Harvard and is run by nearly all 20 somethings wiz kids I will tell you this is what I learned:

Grammer is a sign of a low IQ inefficient worker who is outdate. These kids are from the texting, slack era. They don't spell check and use Emojis. I would send a slack message asking for something and a IDK is fine, sign off and emoji is fine.

Anything Microsoft is dated. All email is outdated, using a phone is outdate.

I ran a department there for 2.5 years. When I quit I realized I sent zero emails to staff in my  three years and got zero emails. We used GMAIL mainly for outside contact people if necessary. I never has a single phone call with anyone. Also at most did a meeting in Google once a week tops. I poke you in Slack or do a Google Hangout if necessary. And we had no set working hours.

Some people checked email at most once a month. A calendar invite, sounds dated. cant you slack me, do a Jira ticket, share the google doc etc. I will get back when I want, be is Sunday at 2am or Thursday night at midnight. And me sitting on sofa, eating Pizza watching the game you are lucky if I update that link you sent me or responded in slack.

Dont be a Boomer. Be a Zoomer.           [/quote]
