It's not a generational thing. Anyone regardless of generation is distracted by their phone.

However, if it's severe enough to warrant attention I don't think it's as you describe, "quick texting" here and there. Everyone does that in every job.

I know people that do this and they work in law, or at big 4, or are even dentists. Everyone takes a quick text break, checks their IG, uses whatsapp web or Gchat during work time.

The difference is they still get their stuff done and never seem like they're slacking.

Gone are the days where people work 9-5 with 3 breaks. It's all about productivity now and not just "looking" like you're productive. You will find many studies that conclude that work in bursts and more breaks = more productive.

But I'm not defending this kid. He sounds more like a slacker than the person I described above.
