I got an offer from another company. Currently working in walmart. The main idea behind getting an offer is to ask for a salary rise. I was very much underpaid here. So I thought getting an offer will help increase my pay here in walmart by getting counter offer from them. But i am not sure if I discuss with my manager it will backfire me.Walmart

That's like saying people who grew up with cars should know plenty about cars. There's lots of people that can't change their own oil...
I don't know, maybe I'm ignorant, but growing up with tech does not equate to knowing how to use tech to your advantage. Those skills need to be taught, and who will teach them to kids?

Exactly, through time, you learned these things. Give the kids some time. Lol

I admit I laugh when my Gen z brother the coder asks me to questions on excel and ppt, but then I remember there’s no reason for his schools to have taught those skills.

I read that many of them have trouble navigating a file system https://futurism.com/the-byte/gen-z-kids-file-systems

I will be honest, I got my hands dirty with Word when I started typing my own reports and it wasn’t exactly easy or pleasant, but there are definitely some basics all professionals should know.

Xennials have by far the greatest blend of technology background. Got to experience the analog world and grow up with digital and the internet.
honestly agree as a gen z’er. most tech is so abstracted today that it’s difficult to learn fundamentals unless you grew up to watch tech evolve from simple to the crazy world of abstraction we now have.
I used to be a retail manager, so a bulk of our associates and key holders in the stores right now are GenZ. Every that did wrong or simply didn’t retain was blamed on a lack for training. That generation has no level of accountability or ability to self-motivate. I’m sure retail doesn’t exactly get the cream of the crop for applicants, but this mentality wasn’t this prevalent years ago.
I get what you’re saying, which is why I commented that retail doesn’t necessarily attract all the best applicants. So I’m leaving room for that as a culprit. However, there was an identifiable shift in mentality that matched with the introduction of GenZ into the workforce. Seeing as the age demographic of the associates didn’t change, but the generation (and it’s collective values) did, it’s definitely worth a mention.

As a millenial who cut my teeth doing audit on physical paper in binders, I am finally starting to wonder why we construct contracts, memos, reports etc. to be formatted like we are going to print them. We all know they are just getting printed to pdf. I hate ppt. But Word seems like an anachronism .
I think the article is more about the failure of schools and teachers.
