the date you were born does not create a valid grouping for behavior analysis . this simplistic phony bs needs to stop.
You can look at people born between dates X and Y and ask them questions then ask the same questions to people born between dates Y and Z and then compare. That's all this article did.
you could do the same for race , sex, eye color, people who wear flip flops. If its not repeatable then its really drivel.
It sounds like your real issue is with how social sciences work and not the contents of this article.
My real issue is with false and misleading information.
What is misleading? They asked a whole lot of people a simple question then reported the results back. This is hard data that is analyzable.
The sample size is such a small percentage to the group size it can not be conclusive on any level. A quick estimation - Gen Z could account for over 1.2 billion people. The sample in the article is 1000 British people which is 0.0000833%
Now I see that your issue is really with statistics.
Baby boomer bosses are all going to die soon anyways
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.
Correct. They're fixated on schedules without an ounce of concern for productivity. I wish they would all retire already. They fucking suck.
I believe they were potty trained at gun point.
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.
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).
