A piece of paper that looked more like a crumpled receipt made its way onto X not too long ago. On it, a Gen Z employee had written his resignation letter. It read: “I have chosen this type of paper for my resignation as a symbol of how this company has treated me. I quit.” No signature. No notice period. In the Gen Z lingo, just vibes and an exit.

On TikTok, an employer went on record questioning why a new hire had simply stopped showing up two weeks into the job. No letter, no phone call, nothing.
