    This is horseshit. Boomers may be more strict about being there at a certain time, but they don’t give two shits if you come in early or stay late.

    I can’t tell you how many times I or my Gen-Z coworkers would stay an extra 2-3hrs (or I would come in early) and none of that even mattered the day we come in a little late. Any other bosses and it’s no issue, but fucking boomers seem to care more about being at work at a certain time rather than how much anyone actually works.

        Also being in a physical location is super important to them for some reason even if it has no effect on the work being done.

        They want the appearance of work more than the actual work. Being in a location is work for them

          A significant reason is they believe that since they had to suffer through it, so should you.

      Earlier this year, the Oscar-winning actress Jodie Foster grumbled over her Gen Zers coworkers not showing up on the job until 10:30 a.m. Meanwhile, an MIT interviewer blasted the generation for always “being late.”

      Plus, research shows that Gen Z’s flexibility with timing transcends the meeting room: They are more likely to miss deadlines than any other generation.

      On average, Gen Z workers miss almost a quarter of their deadlines each week, compared to 6% for baby boomers and 10% for Gen X.

      At the same time, young workers spend the most time on unnecessary tasks and pulling overtime.

        Did they consider that the workload has increased and due dates and pay has not? Everywhere is “understaffed” that is a choice by the company. The extra work is divided among the existing employees, thus making it more difficult and unrewarding to hit these deadlines. I say meh.
