Gen Z employees are reshaping office culture by introducing regular snack breaks, particularly at 3 p.m., which they view as essential for self-care and a much-needed indulgence during the workday. Grace Garrick, a millennial PR boss, highlights how these breaks allow young workers to reclaim a sense of childhood joy amidst corporate pressures. This cultural shift emphasizes comfort and well-being, contrasting with traditional hustle culture, and signals a broader alignment between work life and personal satisfaction.
"The 3 p.m. sugar break is more than just getting over that afternoon slump. It is a moment of self-care and indulgence," she explained.
"When you're 'adulting' there feels like a constant to-do list, and the 3 p.m. sugar break lets us go back to simpler times of childhood like getting a sweet treat at the local corner store, among the whirr of corporate life," she explained.
"It's a convenient little reward that makes an office environment feel like home, and we're shaking up our work life to align with what brings us joy," she said.
"3 p.m. is like a victory lap after the daily grind," she said.
