Gen Z Employees Have Hilariously Changed The Communication Game At This Activewear Start-Up
In 2020, Gen Z took over TikTok and proved to be the new trendsetters in fashion and culture. Now, they are also making waves in the economy.
According to a Bank of America research report, Gen Z will generate $33 trillion by 2030 and represent about twenty-seven percent of the world’s income.
Currently, Gen Z’s inhabitants range from nine to twenty-four years old. And, since the pandemic took the last two years away from many hopeful job seekers, these spunky young adults are finally hitting the workforce and reshaping the labor environment in true Gen Z fashion.
Tommy Flaim, the founder of ethical activewear start-up company Fox & Robin, shared how his Gen Z employees have brought their spirit into workplace communication.
“When you start a new company and only hire Gen Z,” Flaim wrote before sharing numerous screenshots of their unique email sign-offs.
One employee, named Fawzia, hilariously uses, “Hasta la pasta.” Another worker, named Joey, has “Don’t cross me” as his email signature.
Another, named Nicole, wrote the email closer that most wish they could use.
“Let me know if you have any questions! Or don’t. Nicole, out,” she wrote.

More memorable closers included “talk soon loser,” “apologies for existing,” “kill me,” and “insert pleasantries here.”
“It’s a Gen Z world, and I’m just their millennial boss,” Flaim captioned the video.
His TikTok reached a whopping 16 million people and garnered nearly 3 million likes. Moreover, about twenty thousand commenters shared their thoughts on the generation’s hilarious communication style.
“Meanwhile, I get told that using two exclamation points in an email is too many,” commented one user.
“Look how great life could be without professional formalities,” added a second user.
“This feels like a safe workplace,” wrote a third.
Numerous commenters also begged Flaim for a “team reveal.” Thankfully, he delivered and shared a happy-go-lucky compilation of the Gen Z employees in a Friends-style video.
Perhaps more corporate offices should take a page out of the younger generation’s playbook.
Do you think that less formal communication could help improve workplace culture and morale?
