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

Best part is they tell you they are on leave and don't ask

Something in this world called Manners & Professionalism

A Gen Z reportee comes up to me and says that he'll be doing WFH the whole Diwali week as he is travelling to his hometown. Ours is a hybrid working presently. I politely told him that he'd have asked for the WFH stuff before planning for the whole week because this is how its supposed to go. This somehow went to my manager's ears. He was like shouting at him telling why he didn't communicate about his WFH plans beforehand. Hence, came to see that Gen Z folks act and then declare rather than the other way round.

Bye?🤣🤣

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 🙃

Depends on team/dept culture and comfort level with manager. My DRs inform me once over chat. Then just a meeting invite with the title " on leave | ". I haven't even send over chat for upto 3 days leave, just sent the invite. Depends on comfort level with manager and team. Definitely if there's any blocker for the leave, we discuss.
