    That’s a boomer myth. They used to work long hours but much relaxed pace. Go and show them the modern schedule and stressors of many modern job, and they are absolutely higher than in the past. Every honest european boomer agrees with this. Millennials europeans are working much more intensively and more effective hours overall, even in Germany

      Boomers used to go home too, and not have a device going off in their pockets every 55 seconds. They were able to unplug. The boss didn’t dare go to the boomers house. Today, your boss doesn’t even blink at calling you at 2am.
