Περίληψη:	The article focuses on generational differences in attitudes toward punctuality at work, highlighting that younger workers, particularly those aged 16 to 26 (Gen Z), generally view being 5 to 10 minutes late as acceptable, unlike older generations such as baby boomers who have little tolerance for any tardiness. This discrepancy is attributed to Gen Z’s entry into the workforce during the pandemic, which fostered more flexible work habits and blurred traditional expectations around meeting start times. Research indicates that Gen Z workers also miss more deadlines and struggle with time management compared to older generations, though experts suggest this is part of a typical learning curve for young professionals. The article underscores the ongoing tension between evolving workplace norms and established expectations held by older managers. [Extracted from the article]
