Do "kids" these days not understand mailing addresses? Recent group of people we hired are younger and they mess up billing address so badly...

Posted by Walt_Disney (aka Walt_Disney) Mar 30 '23, 07:58

These are people in their mid to late 20's. Past hires have tended to be in late 20's to early 30's.

They do not understand differences between prefixes and suffixes when it comes to mailing addresses and there is much more noticeable bad data and errors being entered into our database then just three years ago. I never thought I would be needing to send reminders to adults about what I consider such a basic thing. But maybe because they get such little personal mail anymore.

During the 2022 Beto for Gov campaign, I got a handwritten note from a child that was addressed perfectly. So guess you need to hire them! -- nm - Qale Mar 30, 08:21
how do you not have a system that auto-fills/completes addresses? - colin Mar 30, 07:59 2
- Mailing address and legal addresses can be different most often due to rural areas or when units are separated or merged. We need legal... - Walt_Disney Mar 30, 08:07 1
  - oo, that's a bummer -- nm - colin Mar 30, 09:05
no. they really have NO IDEA how addressing mail works. -- nm - Andie Mar 30, 07:59 7
- I mean why should they honestly. - ty97 Mar 30, 08:05 6

      - oh, i get that, but we actually have more and more things shipped to our homes than ever. knowing how *addresses work* isn't outdated. -- nm - Andie Mar 30, 08:11 2

        They certainly don’t make it easy here in Houston. I thought that TMNT joke about 122 and 1/8th was a joke! -- nm - Qale Mar 30, 08:24
