"I work in Tax. We recently hired this junior, Gen Z, smart, very pretty, and very aware of it. Within weeks, she wasn't just asking what she could learn but also when she'd be leading negotiations. She actually told me, "I think I have the presence for it." Presence, not skill," the user wrote in the r/IndianWorkplace subreddit.
The OP highlighted that whenever a senior gave instructions to the new hire, she replied saying she did not like the tone and expected better.
"Not because she was insulted rather just because she feels she's owed extra softness, extra patience, extra polish. She did once mention something like 'my facecard never declines,'" the user said, adding that her behaviour may have been tied to her 'looks' as she was used to doors opening and people being excessively polite to her.
"The entitlement is wild. Back when I started, seniors could tear your draft apart in front of the whole team and you'd thank them for the lesson. Now, she wants her mistakes pointed out like a spa receptionist breaking bad news."
