‘Cold Regards,’ ‘Please Hesitate To Reach Out’—We Can’t Stop Laughing at These Snarky Gen Z Email Sign-Offs
Say goodbye to "Sincerely" and hello to "Bless up."
Welcome to 2023, where the formal email sign-offs that most of us are used to are being left in the past by the younger employees. Instead, Gen Z'ers are taking on a more casual and carefree approach to ending an email. That means that traditional closers of "Sincerely," "Thanks," "Warm regards" and "Best wishes" are out of the question. Instead, they are using closers like "Yours unfaithfully," "Bless up" or "Cold regards," to name just a few. Several people have been sharing via TikTok and Twitter how their Gen Z coworkers end their work emails. You will be amazed at all of the funny and perfectly snarky Gen Z email sign-offs that are currently being used.
This trend, which started with the Gen Z company, Ninety Eight, started almost in a rebellion against the more political and formal closers that lack personal connection. After all, a casual approach seems more relational and goes along with dress codes being more casual in many workplaces—as well as the fact that more people are working from home now than ever before. If you're working in your sweats, it would go against the grain to write formally, right?
However, what seems fun and relational to the younger workers could easily offend others. Since most workplaces are multi-generational, this trend in casual-everything may seem unprofessional. But whatever your own views are about these closing remarks, you'll likely find it entertaining to see how off-the-wall some of the Gen Z email sign-offs are. Here are some hilarious examples of what is being shared on social media.

What started with the company, Ninety-Eight, has spread to other Gen Z companies.

Maybe it's a passive-aggressive way of communicating true feelings or a play to be sarcastically funny. Whatever the reason, "Mean regards," "Cold regards" and even "Lukewarm regards" definitely warrant a double-take.
