Hollywood actress and filmmaker Jodie Foster is being praised for her hard-hitting, hard-hitting take on Gen Z workers.
talking with the guardian for a profile published on Sunday, he took to criticizing the oft universally hated generation.
“They're very annoying, especially in the workplace,” he said. “They say, 'No, I'm not feeling it today.' I'll come at 10.30 in the morning.”
“Or, like, in emails, I'll tell them this is all grammatically incorrect—didn't you check the spelling? And they're like, 'Why would you? Isn't that kind of limitation?'” he added.
The compliments immediately started pouring in.
Look at:
She is ready!

Jodie is perfect about grammar and spelling. If language skills collapse, then EVERYTHING collapses.

I find that our youth, and even young men, lack writing skills. Many times you can't tell where a thought ends and one begins. No capital letters. No punctuation. There is also no desire to fix anything.

He's not wrong and Hollywood keeps hiring them because they think they have “influence” when most of those followers are fake bots. And they won't spend money on your movie tickets when they can just scroll through their phones for free – the attention span is terrifying

There was probably so much praise because he had a valid point about Gen Z's aversion to hard work.
In fact, just a year ago, a young Gen-Z influencer went viral for arguing that her generation doesn't mind working as hard as their predecessors did because they're supposedly smarter.
The influencer, a young woman named Demi Kotsoris, explained it in a TikTok video.
He began by arguing that the younger generations have access to more information and that this information has explained to them some hitherto unknown facts of life.
“The older generations are so confused about why we don't want to work harder or why we don't necessarily want to work hard or prioritize our careers,” he said. “We know how short life is now. And it didn't have to come from a life-altering, life-altering experience like it did for those who came before us.”
“You know that old person in your life who had someone close to them that maybe died when they were young and because of that they're living life to the fullest? Now we have access to that information,” he added.

Continuing his veritable defense of laziness, he also mentioned the COVID pandemic. He also said it doesn't matter if they work for a big employer who is doing “an amazing job.”
“We also had this global pandemic that happened,” he said. “So we see life in a very different way than we ever did before. So even for many of us, if we have a workplace that's purpose-driven, has great values, and does amazing work, we still I'll like that I want to travel, I want to do other things with my life.”
“And that's confusing for us, too, because we're like, oh my god, we have all of this as a privilege. Like the work we're doing is great and all that kind of stuff. Why am I still depressed? Why do I still hate the my life? Why don't I still want to work? And it's because we don't value it as much as we used to, and therefore we shouldn't. Access to information has made us smarter. smart”, he concluded.
Isn't that exactly the attitude Foster was referring to?
But don't get it wrong, because his brief rant about Gen Z doesn't mean he's against the generation. In fact, The Guardian explicitly notes its “Gen Z animation”.
Going a little further, variety The magazine notes that “the Oscar winner has made it his mission to reach out to young actors emerging in the industry.”
For example, she “recently made an effort to contact 'The Last of Us' Emmy nominee Bella Ramsey and asked the young performer to introduce her at an event in Hollywood.”
Also, during her Guardian interview, she offered some constructive advice/criticism to aspiring Gen Z actors and actresses.
“They have to learn to relax, to not think about it so much, to create something that is their own,” he said. “I can help them find that, which is a lot more fun than being, with all the pressure behind it, the protagonist of the story.”
