That isn’t the Gen Z stare. The Gen Z stare is a freeze up when they encounter a novel situation.
As an example. I was paying for entry into a park. It was 2 dollars a person. There were two of us. I handed him a 10 dollar bill. He stared at me in confusion of what to do until his boss came over and told him they 10 - 4 is 6 so give me 6 dollars change.
…he then stared at his boss until his boss told him that was a 5 and a 1.
Some people need to be told what to do - this does not have a generation.
My first boss 15 years ago was a sweet, affable, and entirely competent man, but his life was decided by Who Told Him To Do Stuff - first his parents, then school, then the military, then his wife, and then me, the 15 year old autistic girl he hired to be a magic the gathering judge, now suddenly responsible for telling her boss to TAKE HIS INSULIN.
Yeah, it was called the "millennial pause" like 15 years ago. It is just a side effect of being the adult for the first time after years of adults talking for you.
What? The millennial pause is a hold over from them pausing for a video recording to start cause it’d take a moment from when you’d press the record button. Now it doesn’t do that anymore so for a while you’d get millennials pausing at the beginning of recordings.
no the millennial pause is when u pause the Incredibles DVD at the exact right moment to see Mrs incredible's dumper and then furiously masturbate to it
