I have an opposite impression of the work divide between millennials and Gen X (assuming by "boomers" you meant Gen X; the word seems to have stretched to encompass everybody before the millennials.) To me as an Xer, the millennials seemed very hardworking, incredibly polished for their age, always put together, plagued with anxiety about how perfect they needed to be, and confused that the Gen-Xers above them in the org chart weren't always perfectly put together, didn't always have a perfect outfit, took the occasional Friday off so they could have a long weekend, etc.

So this article fits with my experience of the millennials being neurotically driven to be perfect and hit every corporate expectation, and finding themselves anxious around a generation that is more self-assured and blasé towards work. The big difference is that now the other, less driven generation is younger and more current than they are.
