As 2024 begins, millions of workers return to their 9-to-5 jobs after the holidays.
Quietly retiring, “lazy woman work” and “bare Mondays” are still being talked about on social media by many members of Gen Z, as well as Millennials who prefer not to adhere to traditional employee standards. It's a growing trend.
According to various accounts on TikTok, “Lazy Girl Job” is a term used to refer to someone who wants to quit quietly, while “Bare Minimum Monday” is someone who does the bare minimum to get through Monday. It is explained.
Ramsey Solutions host Ken Coleman joined “Fox & Friends” Tuesday morning to discuss tips on how parents, administrators and employers can address this mindset in 2024. .
“They have to coach and coach these employees,” he said.
Coleman said employers need to guide new employees through their daily lives, rather than just onboarding them.
“Now more than ever, we will need to mentor these young employees.” [those of] All past generations have been like that,” he said of business leaders and managers.
He also pointed out that parents are partially responsible for their children's lack of work ethic.
Mr Coleman said the introduction of a four-day work week was under consideration and “absolutely will happen”.
Organizers from Ramsey Solutions said a study was completed in London, UK, which showed that working just four days a week does not reduce employee productivity.
However, he noted that implementing such changes across the board will not be easy.
“You can't squeeze five days of work into four days without some kind of system. It has to be advantageous for that particular industry,” he said.
Coleman noted that while these trends are taking over the career side of TikTok, they don't fully represent all Gen Z and Millennials around the world.
“What we see on TikTok is not representative of all generations,” he says.
He noted that many people will continue to work hard and obtain the jobs and career statuses they desire.
But when young people saw two or three generations of adults working non-stop throughout their lives, they understood why the next generation might not want to live the same way.
