As the year of 2024 gets underway, millions of workers are heading back to their 9-to-5 jobs after the holiday break.
Quiet quitting, “lazy girl jobs” and “bare minimum Mondays” are the trends on social media still floated by many members of Gen Z as well as millennials who just dont want to follow traditional employee standards.
A lazy girl job is the term for those who want to quiet quit, while bare minimum Monday is explained as someone doing the absolute bare minimum to get through a Monday, according to various TikTok accounts.
Ramsey Solutions host Ken Coleman joined “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday morning to discuss tips for how parents, managers and employers can handle this mentality in 2024.
“Theyve got to mentor and coach these employees,” he said.
Coleman said that employers will need to guide new employees through the day-to-day rather than just throwing them into the mix.
“Youre going to have to coach these younger employees more than you have [those of] any past generation,” he said of business leaders and managers.
He also noted that parents are partially to blame for the lack of a work ethic among their kids.
Coleman said a four-day work week is in the works and “is absolutely going to be a thing.”
The Ramsey Solutions host said that a study was completed in London, England, which showed that employee productivity did not dip when people worked only four days a week.
However, implementing such a change across the board will not be simple, he indicated.
“You cant just shove five days of work into four days without some systems, and its got to be advantageous to that specific industry,” he said.
Coleman made sure to note that although these trends are taking over the career side of TikTok, they are not a full representation of every Gen Z or millennial in the world.
“What we see on TikTok does not represent the entire generation,” he said.
He noted that many will continue to work hard and earn the job and career status they want.
However, after young people watch two or three generations of adults work nonstop for their entire lives, he understands why the next generation might not want that same life.
As US conservatives rapidly shape the crypto landscape through policy, funding and grassroots adoption, progressives remain divided and hesitant. Progressives lack a unified strategy and risk losing relevance.

Hyundai is gearing up to go on a “full-scale attack” as it ramps up exports of its new flagship three-row EV. The IONIQ 9 is now rolling out in the US, South Korea, and Europe.
Hyundai IONIQ 9 three-row EV production picks up
After launching the IONIQ 9 in South Korea earlier this year, Hyundai had high hopes. However, the flagship electric SUV has struggled to gain traction in the automaker’s home market.
Hyundai is betting on overseas markets, including the US and Europe, to drive sales. In Korea, it has been steadily ramping up IONIQ 9 with plans to go on a “full-scale attack on Europe.”
An industry insider explained (via NewsIs) that “As Hyundai Motor Company speeds up its entry into overseas markets with the Ioniq 9, export volume will increase rapidly.”

Since it shipped the first models in April, IONIQ 9 exports have tripled. In June, Hyundai exported 1,781, up from 1,482 in May and 539 in April. The higher exports are in preparation for sales kicking off in Europe. Hyundai revealed last week that the IONIQ 9 will start at £64,995 ($87,500).
Powered by a 110 kWh battery, the three-row EV features a WLTP driving range of up to 385 miles. On the EPA scale, it’s rated with up to 335 miles of driving range.

Europe is not the only market that Hyundai is taking aim at. The automaker is using a two-track strategy. In the US, Hyundai builds the IONIQ 9 at its new EV plant in Georgia, alongside the updated 2025 IONIQ 5.
Production has been steady at Hyundai’s Metaplant America (HMGMA) plant since it began in April. Hyundai built 2,382 IONIQ 9 models in May and another 1,803 in June. Through June 2025, 1,013 Hyundai IONIQ 9 models have been sold in the US.

With IONIQ 9 sales falling from 1,009 in April to 867 in May and then to 767 in June, Hyundai is betting on the US and Europe to make up for the shortfall.
After promising to maintain prices in the US earlier this year, Hyundai has stood by the guarantee. The 2026 IONIQ 9 (see our review of it) is surprisingly affordable with leases starting at just $419 per month.
Hyundai’s new and improved 2025 IONIQ 5 may take the cake as the best EV deal right now, listed with leases as low as $179 per month. To get owners started, it also offers a free ChargePoint L2 home charger with the purchase or lease of any new 2026 IONIQ 9 or 2025 IONIQ 5.
