Viral ‘I’ll Be On Leave, Bye’ email divides opinions; check out more casual leave emails by Gen Z employees

Gen Z employees are leading the way when it comes to asking for leave or quitting the workforce in unconventional ways. A great example of this phenomenon is the recent screenshot shared by investor Siddharth Shah on X, showcasing a very casual email sent by one of his Gen Z employees. The email's stoic “I’ll be on leave” statement with no additional details stands in stark contrast to the more formal leave requests typical of more seasoned employees.

While situations like these expect a more formal tone, some argue that the email's hilarious style reflects the employee's preference for efficiency and their distaste for unnecessary small details. But this is not the first time a funny email like this has made headlines — check out a few more examples.

Some employees are just generally less likely to adhere to formalities and more likely to set boundaries without apology — just look at this example for instance.
