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.

Trump just wants a Ukraine-Russia deal - will Putin or Zelenskyy blink first?

The tone has changed totally. It’s a remarkable turnaround from the Oval Office meltdown to the perfect phone call.

President Trump is wholly transactional. His desire for give and take far outweighs any ideological instincts. He has no particular alignment to Ukraine or, for that matter, to Russia.

He just wants a deal. Peace would stop the killing as he has said repeatedly. It would also allow for deals which can benefit America: recouping the taxpayer money spent on Ukraine and reconnecting the American economy with Russia.

Will Trump turn on Putin?

But trumping all that is his legacy and his image. He wants to be seen as the peacemaker president.

Since the Oval Office moment, Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy seems now to have recognised all that.

Ukraine’s approach towards Trump has changed. Zelenskyy is now playing his game: transactionalism.

The minerals deal hasn’t dissolved. The indications I am getting is that it’s essentially been upgraded and broadened to a wider scope: fuller economic cooperation.

Zelenskyy needs to encourage America deep into his country economically. Has he bought into the idea that a US economic footprint amounts to a key part of a security guarantee?

The old adage is: “If you are not at the table, you are on the menu.” That’s too true with President Trump.

Zelenskyy now feels like he’s at the table and I am told he doesn’t feel coerced.

The challenges remain huge though: he doesn’t trust Putin. That’s what he tried to tell President Trump in the Oval Office. The performance that day proved to him that Trump is inclined to trust Putin.

Zelenskyy must use transactionalism to draw an impatient Trump in.

President Trump is in a hurry for a deal. He’s inclined to accept wholly disingenuous commitments from Russia, or as one source put it to me: “Trump has a high tolerance for bullshit…”

That’s the jeopardy for Zelenskyy.

Trump 100, Day 60: Zelenskyy and the 'perfect' phone call

👉 Follow Trump 100 on your podcast app 👈

From an Oval Office explosion to a “perfect phone call”, Donald Trump has spoken to Volodymyr Zelenskyy – just hours after his conversation with Vladimir Putin.

On Day 60, US correspondents James Matthews, Martha Kelner and Mark Stone discuss what’s happened to the minerals deal and ask: could the US take control of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure?

And as a constitutional showdown brews in America, Trump takes aim at the judiciary, calling for judges who block his policies to be removed. With tensions rising between the executive and judicial branches, could America be heading toward a crisis of power?

If you’ve got a question you’d like James, Martha and Mark to answer, you can email it to trump100@sky.uk.
