I am married to a millennial (insert cougar jokes here). And yes, we both busted up at this. Me for what I see coming in to interview at my organization (I'm a director) and he (a mechanical engineer with 2 patents) having to deal with it as a manager of people his age.
I'm just a Luddite. He was raised by farmers, so he didn't enter his teen years attached to an electronic device and he understands work ethic. I'd bet he probably didn't have a smartphone until after he graduated, but yeah, we both laughed very hard, as its SO TRUE.
I'm so old that my first bookkeeper used ledgers..and an ink pen. I listened as she interviewed for a new office manager a few years later and had to leave the office at the answers she was getting. We are sooo screwed.

We work on interview skills at the college, so I showed this to a colleague , and he wondered if some students would see a problem.
I liked her Starbucks order, that was a hoot.
Lots of verisimilitude there, that's for sure.
Libertyman, that's a little terrifying ....
