"Maddy told the executive after being told she wasn't hiring, 'I know I'm not what you are looking for. I didn't go to USC. I didn't even apply for college. My parents were immigrants.'"
"'I know my generation is entitled, but I don't believe anybody owes me anything. I'm not a victim. I won't be an HR nightmare and I believe in capitalism.'"
"A user on Threads poked fun at the unrealistic scene, sharing the clip alongside the caption 'how my parents think u get a job in 2026.'"
"'The people who write these scenes did not have to look for jobs in the past 20 years,' a user responded."
