    This part?

    A 2022 article from Harvard Law School explains that Gen Z workers entered the workforce during the pandemic. This generation began their careers when it was acceptable to send a quick text — something they are very comfortable with — instead of having a team meeting. They missed office facetime at a crucial point in their career development. This potentially created a gap in their learning and left them unprepared for industries where meetings, presentations and in-depth collaboration are the norm.

    The problem arises when workplaces expect Gen Z to conform without offering any middle ground. This communication gap can easily lead to misunderstandings, mistakes or even the appearance that these workers are not engaged — when in reality, they are just using different methods to communicate.

    That explicitly states over and over the issue is “face to face” and not phone calls?

    If you’re still confused you might want to ask someone else, maybe I’m not explaining this well but I have zero idea how to make it any simpler.

      Simpler is not the solution. I can’t help your confusion or with being hung up on phones versus face to face versus many other types of communication. Sharing my experiences over differences I’ve witnessed and navigated is just that, sharing.
