A millennial boss who founded his own activewear company has pointed out the interesting way his younger employees communicate via email.

Tommy Flaim, who runs ethical sportswear company Fox & Robin, shared a clip on TikTok which showed the various informal signoffs his Gen Z employees use online.

"POV: You start a new company and you only hire Gen Z," he wrote in the viral video.

In the montage, Flaim scrolled through different emails sent by his team members, displaying a unique workplace etiquette.

One employee named Fawzia decided to end her email with "Hasta la pasta :-)", while another staffer named Joey wrote "Don't cross me'" at the end of his message.

A Gen-Z staff member named Nicole wrote the puzzling line: "Let me know if you have any questions! Or don't", and another named Mila simply wrote: "Talk soon loser."

Other unusual email signatures included Hanna's "Hate you (and JH)" and Julia's daring line: "Whoever invented corporate America needs to be punished".
