If you’re supposed to be at work at 9:00 A.M., what time do you get there? At 8:45…9:00…9:05…9:15…or “it’s anyone’s guess”?
According to a survey, almost half of Gen Z’ers between ages 16 and 26 believe that being between “five and 10 minutes late” is essentially the same as being “on time”. You can blame them for being slightly stupid and disrespectful.
The importance of punctuality increases as you get older…because you become sick of people thinking their time is more important than yours. If you’re supposed to be somewhere at a certain time that was agreed upon and you’re late. It shows blatant disrespect.
40% of Millennials said they’re forgiving of colleagues running 10 minutes late. Only 26% of Gen X’ers are okay with it. Then we have a whopping 70% of Boomers who say they have “zero tolerance” for any lateness.
