What would your boss say if you sent them this email? Someone who works at an A.I. startup posted a screenshot on Reddit after a Gen Z intern called off work . . . because her "energy [felt] a little off."
It was a last-minute request . . . or, not even a request. She just sort of TOLD her boss it was happening.
Quote, "Feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the work, and my energy feels a little off, so not getting that vibe." (???)
She said she'd be out July 28th to the 30th, and ended it with, "Will talk soon, Bye." The 28th was a Monday, so she basically took a super-long weekend.
So is "my energy feels off" a valid excuse to call off work? You could argue it's basically the same as a mental health day . . . or you could argue Zoomers don't know how jobs work.
The guy who posted it titled the post, "Corporate world is not ready for Gen Z" . . . but he said he DID ultimately approve the request.
