TikTok has produced yet another viral gen Z workplace trend known as ‘Bare Minimum Mondays’. Similar to ‘Quiet Quitting’ or ‘Act Your Wage’, ‘Bare Minimum Mondays’ is all about burnt-out and undervalued employees only doing the absolute minimum amount of work tasks required from them on Mondays to avoid the anxiety that comes along with the ‘Sunday Scaries’ (the phenomenon of spending Sunday night dreading the work week ahead).
