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.

Shhh!! Stop drawing attention to the systemic problem that’s causing these statistics! Young people bad!

I also wonder if there's more work that has deadlines at the level Gen Z is working at, and fewer at the level Boomers are working at. Or if there are tighter turn arounds? Like from my wife's work, I'd guess the upper levels are on more quarterly "release" schedules while everyone else is working these 2 week sprints which by the nature of the work requires some things to take more than one sprint (which looks like missing a deadline to the tracking).
