Gen Z’s Workplace Rules

1. Gen Z Says “Nope” to Workplace Etiquette

• Gen Z is pushing back on traditional unwritten workplace rules they consider outdated or unfair.
• The question: Are they setting healthy boundaries—or just avoiding work?

2. After-Hours Work Events

• Gen Z doesn’t want to attend mandatory-feeling happy hours or social events after work.
• The Krewe relates because of the early-morning radio schedule.
• Christmas parties and Rays games are exceptions!

3. No Answering Work Calls After Hours

• The guys debate whether employees should be expected to answer calls after their shifts.
• The Gen Z philosophy: When I’m off, I’m off.

4. Staying Late & Weekend Work

• Gen Z says they’re not sticking around after hours just to look dedicated.
• Coming in on weekends? Hard pass.
• The guys discuss the difference between being committed to your job and being expected to work for free.

5. Dress Codes & Leaving Before the Boss

• Strict dress codes are becoming less important in some workplaces.
• The old rule of waiting for your manager to leave before you do gets called out as ridiculous.

6. Don’t Come to Work Sick

• The pandemic changed attitudes about working while sick.
• Especially in radio, where everyone shares microphones, one sick employee can quickly turn into an entire sick staff.

7. Launa’s Workplace Philosophy

• Launa’s studio sign says: “Your job is not your life.”
• Take your lunch, enjoy your weekends, use your PTO and sick days.
• Biggest takeaway: You agreed to do a job for pay and benefits—not sell your soul.
