In an era of formalities at the workplace, Gen Z is taking a different approach. Viral Tik Tok’s are revealing that these youngsters are ditching e-mail signoffs like “Sincerely” and “Best” for quirkier alternatives, writes Emily Lefroy for The New York Post.  

In place of the traditional salutations, this generation is going for “See yas later”, “Another day another slay”, or “alright alright alright.” But what is motivating this new movement in the workplace?  

Authenticity 

Founder of Fox & Robin Tom Flaim is 29-years-old but has embraced the Gen Z lingo himself. He told the New York Post that people are tired of “corporate pleasantries” and find them “inauthentic.” It’s much easier for people to truly have to express how they feel, than fake positivity.  

It’s Personable 

Since the onset of COVID-19, remote work has had people craving human to human connection. And the shift to virtual work has made it necessary for more conversational interactions with co-workers since face-to-face ones are limited.  

“Often, when you are more casual, it shows that you care more — not only about the work, but the person on the receiving end,” said 24-year-old Celine Chai, a co-founder of NinetyEight. 

Making Their Mark 

Each generation brings something new to the table with regards to their lingo or culture. Gen Z is no different, and the snarky send-offs are just their way of bringing their own flair to the workplace.
