I have also recently cleared all interview rounds in TCS & HR Shared 'Salary Breakup'. Still, my status in the iBegin portal is not changing from 'Evaluation in Progress' to 'Evaluated' & so on, even after uploading all required documents. They had initiated the process 2 times, 1st on 16th Nov and 2nd on 24th. Please let me know, how long it will take to release the final offer letter. Thanks

They have no cultural knowledge pre 2010.
When I was growing up, radio would play mixes that included older songs, and TV would show old movies and tv reruns in syndication.
The cartoons especially were recycled so many times and included lots of classical music that dated back hundreds of years in some cases.
The cultural literacy for the Gen Xers and older is just so much more than these kids. Millennials may have this cultural literacy as well, but I can’t tell for sure.
Gen Z exists in a world that might as well have begun when CERN turned on the big hadron collider. Maybe it did.
I am an elementary PE teacher, I have a playlist with the Brady Bunch, Gilligan's Island, Green Acres themes. I also play a mix of classical music from old cartoons, 80's and 90's music they request the Macarena a lot(and they love the dance) I also just found the Fraggle Rock theme that I added. I was surprised one day when one of my 3rd graders was singing the Brady Bunch theme and I asked her how she knew and she said she and her mom watch it on MeTv. Our music teacher also includes a lot of oldies in her curriculum and they get the story behind them. I have Holding out for a hero-Bonnie Tyler on my playlist and one of them told me it was in some newer movie that I hadn't heard of, but I told them it was also in Shrek and it originated in an 80's movie called Footloose. They are open to it and really find a love for older music.
A surprising number of my students don't know how to tie their shoes. Thank you crocs
In many cases, their addresses
How to tell time on an analogue clock
My first year I got annoyed when HS students asked what time it was, but I realize they really just didn't know and wanted to see.
Their parent’s names
Their own birthday
Their address
North south east and west tend to be beyond most of my students comprehension. I guess that one’s more forgivable.
They should all go hiking and use a compass!
Figures of speech like “Don’t let the cat out of the bag.” Also they don’t know nursery rhymes. Maybe that’s cultural though. I know not all cultures read those. Also conventions - like stirring a sentence with an uppercase letter and ending with punctuation.

Cursive handwriting!!!!
Thankfully our school teaches this! We had a 5th grade teacher who's husband managed long term care facilities and she would have her students adopt a grandma/grandpa in one of the facilities and write letters to that person and they were thrilled when the got letters back. It was such a cool project. I find kids are really struggling with hand strength and fine motor skills because of this. So we do some Bal-A Vis exercises in PE to combat.
How to count USA coins and know how much money they have to purchase something from the student store 😱. I have had to count the money with them and then explain how much more they need to make a dollar. This is a product of the digital age of swiping cards and COVID-19 when people have reduced their use of physical money and coins 🤔.
...just so you know... not knowing left from right can be a learning disability.
