The papers I read in preparation for my essay mainly covered office, studio and healthcare work. My essay related to work ethics between Boomer, X, Y and Z, not tardiness, so I have no clue about the specifics of what each generation thinks with regards to lateness. Perhaps you could put your findings into a paper and get it peer reviewed.
"every generation except for Boomers don’t care about being on time when compared to giving quality output."
"My essay related to work ethics between Boomer, X, Y and Z, not tardiness, so I have no clue about the specifics of what each generation thinks with regards to lateness."
These seem to be at odds with each other. Can you clarify how you didn't look into how generations view tardiness while at the same rime understanding how they view being late to things vs quality output?
As an aside if this kind of thing is your focus, has your university made you read the Pew trust's post about why they have abandoned generational studies? It's interesting if ypu haven't

Im not asking what work you did. I am asking for clarification as to your statements that seem to be at odds with each other. There's a chance that Im missing something that explains this conflict which is why I asked the question I did.
If you are going to put forth your opinion and assert a degree of expertise you should expect people to ask you questions since you are claiming to have some degree of understanding.
So can you answer my last question please?
