So the article and study argue that millennials aren't actually lazy, because it's young people in general that are lazy (about work). Literally. It's a dystopian argument. They're saying that it's nothing specifically to do with a certain generation of people, it's just that young people on average are more lazy now. So millennials aren't lazy, definitely, only young people are, which millennials are, but millennials aren't lazy. It does your head in trying to follow their "logic".

No, the logic is that milennials, and any other generation, are lazy (about work) when young.
It makes sense to me.

The point is that every generation is lazy when they're young. Silent Generation was lazy when they were young. Greatest generation was lazy when they were young. Boomers, Gen-X, both lazy when they were young.

Millennials are still (relatively) young. Of course they're lazy.
