Gen Z’s Casual “I’ll Be on Leave” Email—Refreshing or Too Casual?

A Gen Z employee’s simple leave email—no explanations, just a quick "I'll be on leave, bye"—has gone viral and split the internet.

What’s your take—do employees need to ask, or is informing enough?

This is how the GenZ guys are but that isn't cool at all and I myself have come across a lot of occasions when they have planned the entire trip and just want to keep me informed irrespective of what's in pipeline in terms of work 🙃
