I have to be frank here - no matter how cool this story may be, I was unable to make it very far because of the poor (read: complete lack of) capitalization and punctuation. It might be a me problem, but these things combined with it being a screenshot made this impossible to read without a headache.
This is a late-Gen Z/Gen A thing. They don’t use punctuation or capitalization anymore. Apparently they view it as too formal or “fake”. They relate it to “fake it til you make it” mentality in the workplace.
I know this is a “no the kids are wrong” take, but I just find it infuriating to read. I understand you want to be more genuine and I’m all for that…but if I can’t fucking read what you write because it’s 28 lines of all lower case, unpunctuated text…that’s not a “professional” versus “being genuine” problem. That’s broke ass communication.
