Is 5 to 10 Minutes Late Still On Time?

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.” The importance of punctuality increases as you get older because you become sick of people thinking their time is more important than yours. 40% of Millennials said they’re forgiving of colleagues running 10 minutes late but just 26% of Gen X’ers are okay with it. But, a whopping 70% of Boomers say they have “zero tolerance” for any lateness.
