In that interview, she talked about so much more, including extensive positive remarks about a 20 year old actor, but they chose a click bait headline to enrage and engage young folks

She praised one person and spoke truthfully about the Gen Z as a whole.

Maybe it is a wake up call for young people to not have a sloppy work ethic, and have clarity in their work, whether digital or on paper. I am sure they heard of spell check and dictionaries. This " not feeling "attitude is ridiculous.

Nah, she's right.. Gen Z have shitty work ethic and I can speak from experience about this considering I'm employed at one of the most liberal universities with very coddled Gen Z students.. They like the idea of applying for the job, they like the idea of being hired for the job, they simply have to show up and not call off with flimsy excuses like the one telling me "My Mental Capacity is off and I won't be coming in today" 5 minutes before the start of the their shift.. Less classes in DEI, more classes in Work Ethic 101

No lies detected.

Maybe so but better handled a different way. First of all, every generation finds the next generation annoying. A lot of it is just plain jealousy - having to realize your own youth is over while someone else is in the prime of theirs.

Anyway, the odds are a GENZ type will be more technologically advanced. They'll probably have skills you never even thought of. So, rather than let the tiny idiosyncrasies annoy you - you're better served trying to learn from them.
