Boomers might earn more because they're old as fukk and have been working for almost as long as a millennial has been alive and for longer than gen z'ers have existed.

WHY MILLENNIALS HATE TALKING ON THE PHONE
‘GENERATION MUTE’ SURVEY
BankMyCell.com

What educated conjectures can we make based on the response data?

Calls can be time-consuming: You have no way to tell if the call will take minutes or hours, millennials want to communicate faster and getting straightforward answers.
Calls are disruptive: In most cases, your phone will vibrate with a call at a random time of the day, potentially derailing whatever activity you’re doing if you answer.
Calls come off presumptuous: On the whole, when someone calls you their needs are greater and there is an assumption that you have the time to be interrupted.
Calls are commonly Inefficient: When you’re using messaging services you can dip in and out when you want. Furthermore, sending an email or message via an app you’re getting straight to the point without any ‘weather today’ small talk.
Calls can be annoying: Getting a presumptuous call from someone creates a negative reaction. People often sigh or roll their eyes when their needy or boring friend calls at an inconvenient time.
Calls are stressful: Everyone is so productivity-driven that, in many situations like work, calls can be stressful. You could be working on a deadline or rushing to get out the door and this buzzing distraction interrupts you at the wrong time.
People like to avoid conflict: Calls leave you little time to compose yourself. You can feel vulnerable in terms of how you come across and what you’re going to say.
Calls are rarely private: You can message until your heart is content in a room and no one will know what you’re saying. If you want a degree of privacy on the phone you’ll have to relocate yourself to stop people eavesdropping.

Hate people who spam call for things that could be asked through messenger or email.

Sorry gramps I’m busy doing actual work.
I’ll get back to you when I’m free.

Trolling aside, I actually don’t mind having a call for something that would be tldr

too busy making dance videos on tiktok, smoking weed, and complaining about being unemployed. just lol at you gen z/millennials

[bfdehewdbyywhn]

show me even one house for a nickel at that time, and I’ll pay you $1000. you kids always have excuses for being poor and lazy

[eod8989]

That's because zoomers don't even know how to talk. There is a huge difference between how a 22 yo and 30 yo talk.

[bfdehewdbyywhn]

Yet you're on the misc complaining about complainers.. lmao.

Why not just text them, "Hey i want to talk to you real quick" and set up a time to call them.

that’s beta as shtt. no one will ever respond to that, even by text. all these kids these days have low self-esteem, embarrassed Ill make fun of their voice or something.

at work, if they don’t pick up I report then to HR

[hau5music]

introverted milleninnial in sales reporting in

i pick up 95% of my phone calls

i may not pick up certain boomer client calls because i know they will go on and on about random chit that will waste my time


however when it comes to friends, i may not pick up 40% of the calls because i dont wanna talk on the phone.

just text me you nerd

[lightsarefallin]

I'm not sure when that switch happened. As a kid in the 90s, we only had the phone. brb ask parents to use phone, chat with friends. At some point, I got a cellphone, then a smart phone, and then all of a sudden everyone stopped phoning and exclusively began texting. So much so that if someone calls, it's just fuking strange at this point.

[Dontoewsmebro]

I agree OP you would be surprised how many people these days can't even maintain eye contact when talking to you.

[Muzzlrpress]

I still answer my phone, but Indian scammers make me hesitant. Millennial crew.

[l2ambo]

hate this shtt. impossible to get any work done cause I have to text back and forth for something I can say in less than 10 seconds.

agreed.

[havoc00]

I loathe talking on the phone and I never answer

[Omnivium]

Hate when some boomer calls me and interrupts me when I'm trying to get chit done. Send me a message and I'll get back to you when I'm available

[BabcocksHair]

lmaooo so true boomers love to call. they also sign their texts with their name. I have elite tier social skills so I have no problem talking on the phone even though im a millennial

Can I call you?

Cheers, Boomer

lmfao. some company keeps calling me every day, twice a day.

brb those are the only calls I get. feelsbatman

[Vrykul]

My boss/colleagues insist on calling me like 15 times a day for miniscule reasons and it really affects my productivity (negatively), so I try to keep it to text/emails as much as I can

I always pick up for friends though unless I can't

Answer and phukk with them its fun

[wutevs]

Don't understand this perception that millenials/gen z are lazy lol most people in my circle of friends are go-getters who work a ton. I myself put in 50-55 hours a week on average.

[Skeptical_Hippo]

Op probably uses LOL!! when he texts

[bfdehewdbyywhn]

Op probably uses LOL!! when he texts

I don't text. no emojis either

that's reserved for low IQ beta zoomers, and mille****gs. those geeks wonder why women don't want to date em and sex rates are at an all-time low

[mr.left hook]

i answer my phone still?,but its my work phone i got rid of my personal phone years ago too ease the radiation to my Nuts - **** carrying 2 cell phones

[AgBrah]

Calling is just inefficient. Calls are only for things that require emotional connection. If I need that for a deal, I’ll meet in person.

I’m almost 99% either text or meet in person. If you email me anything but an attachment, it may take a week to get back to you.
