Gen Z killed workplace awkwardness, CEO's viral post shows

Gen Z killed workplace awkwardness, CEO's viral post shows

A boss in India shared an email from one of his workers.

The worker wrote that she could not come to the office because she had very bad period pain.

The boss was surprised but happy about how honest the email was.

He said young workers today say what they mean, without hiding the real reason.

He said that ten years ago, workers would have been too shy to write about period pain.

Many people on the internet saw his post and shared their thoughts.

Some people said this honesty is good and makes offices less awkward.

Other people said it is strange to make workers explain why they are sick.

Some even said people should stop using words like 'sir' and 'ma'am' at work.

In the end, everyone learned that a simple, honest email can start a big conversation.
