Here's my totally anecdotal analysis on demographics and work ethic. I work in an office environment.

- When I started at my job, there was a pretty good mix of baby boomer people, and millenials, but not a lot of inbetween. The manager was a baby boomer, and while I don't think he was lazy necessarily all the time, there were sometimes it seemed like he was (but it was hard to tell if he was being lazy or just trying to properly manage by delegating tasks).

-His friend, that he hired as a supervisor for the group, was one of the most useless lazy people I have ever seen. He worked for several years, but nobody knew what he did. He always was there, friendly, but did nothing. Discussions about this person and white collar crime commenced. He was later let go. Baby boomer, extremely lazy.

-Another lady that started to work for us. Baby boomer, 2nd most lazy person I have ever met. Refused to do certain tasks because it was 'easier just not to'. At least for this lady, rather than the person above, it was clear what her role was, she just didn't do it. Wouldn't return phone calls, files were a mess. Terrible.

-Another baby boomer lady, currently reports to me. She has spent the last 8 years or presumably more talking about how millenials are so lazy and selfish and only focusing on themselves. She works hard but her axe has ground down to the hilt in terms of whining about lazy millenials. She's wrong, or the way I see it she's interpreting it wrong. It's annoying to listen to now, because anyone in her group that wants to take their (entitled) vacation days, she gets on the old soap box.

Lastly, another baby boomer guy who hated everyone and everything. Least friendly human I have ever encountered. However, he was a baby boomer and he worked pretty hard I would say.

Now, young people I have worked with.

-I have worked with so many, and I won't even get into the examples because my point here is that I worked with many lazy young people, and many hard working young people. And some people that were just... ok. They'd show up, do their stuff and leave right on time, and in general just kinda cruised through. But I have worked with insanely useless white collar crime young people too. And total rockstar amazing young people that work an have worked extremely hard to get where they are. They stay late, come in early, don't take lunches, grind through everything, and are in general just busting their ass 24/7.

In conclusion, age doesn't ####ing matter. It has, from what I can tell, zero impact on work ethic. To think so is so ignorant, that if you're a baby boomer with all this life and work experience, and come to this conclusion that demographics can indicate work ethic tendencies- I just assume you are an idiot.

People are people. Every generation, people are people. The nature of people does not change over time.
