    Which generations did your research cover besides boomers? Did you cover the ones that came before boomers? I’m asking because the silent generation (1928-45) are already getting rare due to age, potentially requiring different methodology, and it could be that the difference in attitude you observed could be a temporal thing (Everyone older than t thinks one way, and those younger think another way).

      It didn’t cover the silent generation since they’re all retired now but i did read that Boomers were strongly driven to do better than their parents, hence they were much happier to do longer hours and have much higher company loyalty.

      My essay covered Boomer, X, Y and Z.
