Thousands of ‘digital natives’ to be taught social skills, as employers say they are too afraid to speak on phone.
As a Gen Z I agree that this is neccessary. Many of us are honestly stunted regarding emotional maturity.
I mean my company made me do a time management course and I am born in the early nineties…
as employers say they are too afraid to speak on phone
To be honest, I’ve seen most people “too afraid” to speak on the phone do so because of two things:
- white collar creative job, constant phone calls break the flow and destroy productivity, and
- the “I’m going to need that in writing” syndrome, because shithead bosses keep everyone in a constant treadmill of gaslighting.
Honestly, fuck phone calls.
I hate speaking on the phone for a couple of reasons, but the key one is not having time to think of how I want to respond to any questions that may come up. If someone at work calls me out of the blue without prior context and time to mentally prepare, I don’t answer the call.
I made the mistake, years ago, of using my favorite song at the time as a ringtone.
To me, it’s just a personalized bad news machine.
Yeah. I had “So and so says X in a one on one phone call and then says Y in a meeting and then sends Z per mail” one too many times. If it is something relevant i’ll have it in writing. At the very least that i make notes as we speak.
I became afraid of the phone because of medical debt collectors. (Not Gen Z)
Will it include discussion of the concerning incest pr0n trend?
edit: Sorry everyone, I didn’t realise that so many people would take it personally.
I don’t think that’s a new trend
Believe me, the scale of it is a new trend.
No, find a real problem to be upset about
I’m upset about you now.
Depends on who you are and what circles you run in ;)
Concerning to whom? And why? And how is it related to this post?
If they ever want to work abroad on some specific countries, they’ll also have to learn to use printers and a fax machine.
