Apologies for the Tik Tok link but I found this short video to be hilarious and quite accurate regarding how different generations respond at the suggestion of taking a day off and how they can be reached. YMMV.

Summary:
Boomers: I have not taken a day off in 15 years and will not start now.
Millennials: You can reach me by phone, email or however.
Gen Z: You absolutely cannot contact me on my day off.

Gen X: Completely absent from the video due to them being invisible like always or perhaps they are day drinking and just come and go as they please.

1. Agree with Gen X.

Also, quick question regarding Gen X: The best generation, or the greatest generation?

3. Gen X rules

We are the last of the free range childhood kids.
We're small, but mighty.

4. That may well be true

As a boomer, I fear it was my generation that began curtailing our kids' freedoms out of fear of largely non-existent risks, and thus stunting their development and turning them into the fragile safe-space basket cases we see today.

It's your generation's job not to repeat this mistake.

5. My gen are now grandparents.

My friends were either over protective of their only, or practitioners of free range kids with their two or three. Kind of glad my parents were depression era babies, instead of post war babes.

When the Millennials were in day care, the adults swooped in to settle squabbles. They didn't have to learn to negotiate and create rules together.
