Business Insider Germany Jodie Foster finds Generation Z "really annoying" and says they can't even write emails properly Article by Eve Crosbie • 2 hours. That sounds like a generational conflict: Jodie Foster goes with Generation Z and thinks it can be "really annoying" to work with them. In an interview with The Guardian, the Oscar winner said she finds it difficult to understand Gen Z's attitude to work. Generation Z usually refers to those born between 1997 and 2012. "They're really annoying, especially in the workplace," Foster said. "They say: 'No, I don't feel like it today, I'll come in at 10:30 a.m.'". She added that young colleagues also often don't understand how important it is to write professional-sounding emails. "In emails I tell them it's all grammatically incorrect and ask, 'Didn't you check your spelling?' And they say something like, 'Why should I do that, isn't that kind of limiting?'" Despite her complaints, Foster highlighted one Gen Z actress she clearly admires: Bella Ramsey. Foster, who stars in the upcoming season of True Detective, shared how she met the non-binary British actress at Elle magazine's Women in Hollywood event. At Foster's request, The Last of Us star introduced her on stage at the event last month. She praised Ramsey not only for giving "the best speech," but also for showing up to the event in a "beautifully tailored" suit and "middle-parted and no makeup." Foster noted that most of the others in attendance "were wearing heels and eyelashes." She said: "There are other ways to be a woman and it's really important that people see that." Jodie Foster is annoyed with Gen Z The former child star, who became famous for her role in Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver" at the age of 12, said she couldn't have dressed like Ramsey at a Hollywood event as a child. Jodie Foster on her generation: Were not free "Because we weren't free. Because we didn't have freedom. And that's what the vector of authenticity hopefully offers - the possibility of real freedom," Foster said. The "Silence of the Lambs" star also gave advice to young people in the film industry: "You have to learn to relax, not think about it so much and develop something of your own." “True Detective: Night Country” is scheduled to premiere on January 14th in the USA and at the same time in Germany.
