Gen Zs are known for being honest and straightforward. In both their workplace and personal life, they often like to speak their minds and don’t usually hide what they really think. However, social media is often seen as divided on the topic, with millennials criticizing the younger generation for reckless behavior. Jasveer Singh, CEO and co-founder of a social media platform, recently shared a leave request he received from a Gen Z employee, calling it the ‘most honest’ one.
According to Singh’s post, the Gen Z employee requested more than a week-long leave due to a breakup. “Hello Sir. I recently had a breakup and haven’t been able to focus on work, I need a short break. I’m working from home today, so I’d like to take leave from the 28th to the 8th,” the mail read.
Sharing a screenshot of the mail, the CEO wrote, “Got the most honest leave application yesterday. Gen Z doesn’t do filters!” In another thread, Singh shared that he had approved the leave request.

The video quickly gained traction, garnering over two million views and sparking a debate over millennials vs Gen Z. “Gen Z breaks up and applies for leave. Millennials broke down, cried in the washroom, and still met deadlines. Gen Z treat HR like their therapist and Outlook like a diary. Next mail: “Sir, Mercury is in retrograde, need WFH till it sorts itself out,” a user noted. “I would approve it immediately; honesty plus a situation that affects their ability to work. You can tell they make a good employee with only 2 sentence’s. I see you approved it too, you are a good boss man! Cheers!” another user commented.
“From my point of view, you should not have approved the leave and encouraged him to come to office, you would have encouraged him to come to office and meet fellow colleagues, this time loneliness will not be better for him. Should have been a better suggestion from GEN Y to GEN Z,” a third user reacted.
