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.

Ron Benjamin: Body of Israeli hostage kidnapped during cycling trip on 7 October found in Gaza, IDF says

The body of an Israeli hostage who was captured by Hamas militants while on a cycling trip has been recovered from Gaza, the Israeli military has said.

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum said Ron Benjamin, 53, was riding his bike in the Kibbutz Be’eri in Israel when he was taken hostage during the 7 October attack.

The group said he was a “family man who loved cycling” and that he “used to go out for a ride every Saturday, just as he did on that fateful Saturday when he was taken hostage”.

It added: “Ron loved traveling in Israel and around the world, and he loved music.”

The Israeli military said on Saturday that Mr Benjamin’s body was recovered by its forces operating in Gaza.

Chief military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said Mr Benjamin was “brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists at the Mefalsim Intersection, and his body was kidnapped to Gaza”.

Mr Hagari said Mr Benjamin were found along with three other murdered hostages whose repatriation was announced on Friday.

The remains of Itzhak Gelerenter, 56, Amit Buskila, 28, and Shani Louk, 22, were discovered in an overnight operation carried out by Israel’s military and intelligence agency Shin Bet, Mr Hagari said.

They were killed at the Nova music festival on the day of the Hamas attack.

The Israeli military, citing intelligence information, has said all four hostages were killed on 7 October.

They were among the 252 people seized by Hamas-led Palestinian gunmen during the attack.

Marks & Spencer's website and app go down

Marks & Spencer’s website and app has not been working for several hours, with a message telling shoppers “you can’t shop with us right now”.

“We’re working hard to be back online as soon as possible,” it adds.

All the menus and images have disappeared apart from one showing a model in a green jacket.

Customers trying to use the app got the message: “Sorry you can’t shop through the app right now. We’re busy making some planned changes, but will be back soon.”

The site is understood to have been down for several hours.

Replying to one customer on X, the retailer said: “We’re experiencing some technical issues but we are working on it.”

M&S is the latest high street name to have technical issues – last month some Sainsbury’s shoppers had problems with their online orders.

The outage comes a few days before M&S is expected to reveal a big jump in annual profits.

It’s been a successful year for the brand, with strong sales across the business following a turnaround plan that has included store closures and cost cutting.
