Formalities Out, Directness In? Gen Z’s Email Style Splits Opinions Online

Here’s something that’s got everyone talking! A Gen Z employee’s email about taking a day off has gone viral, sparking a fresh debate on workplace communication.

What did the email say?

Just this: “Hi Siddharth. I will be on leave on 8th November. Bye!

Investor Siddharth Shah shared this email on X, highlighting its straight-to-the-point style, with no added formalities.

But here’s the question: should employees formally ask for leave or just inform their managers like this?

And is this Gen Z's straightforward style redefining professionalism, or is it too casual for the workplace?.

As opinions fly online, it’s making people think: Are workplace norms shifting to match these new, direct styles?

Or should tradition still have a place in how we communicate at work?
