Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Because it is, in fact, gen z. I deal with a lot of contractors in a tech field. There's a lot of stuff we do that is prototype/beta level. It's not customer facing. Rough edges are fine, having to reboot it once a day is fine, it just needs to work and if it's not I need to know why.

Gen Z is wayyyyy better at that than millennials. Don't spin me some bullshit, just explain the issues and how much of a headache I'm in for. Previous folks would give me some bullshit about "well it doesn't do that but that's out of scope of our original contract so fixing it is $X/hr on retainment for our expertise and our ability to bring in affiliate partners". Gen Z is much more "man, this shit is cool, but those goal posts shifted, did the best I could, call me if you have issues and at a certain point and I if you're a pain in my ass I'll bill you".

Like they just don't beat around the bush. No spec is ever perfect, and rather than dance around it they'll just be like "I did my best, and I'll go extra until I won't and I'm not really going to bother spending much time explaining to you we're out of scope. You know it. I know it. I ain't dancing because I don't get paid to dance."

The millennial one seemed more straightforward, IMO. They told you they couldn't do it because it wasn't in the contract, and what it would cost to get that added. The gen z one didn't give you all the details.
