Newly minted Sports Illustrated Cover Girl and business titan Martha Stewart is sounding the alarm about the ever-growing work from home movement post pandemic.
As Fox News reports, Martha Stewart didn’t mince words when it came to her outlook on the emerging trend. “You can’t possibly get everything done working three days a week in the office and two days remotely. Look at the success of France with their stupid, you know, off for August, blah blah blah.”
She’s referring to France’s policy of allowing workers an entire month off a year in paid vacation days.
With a net worth of $400 million, Stewart is showing no signs of slowing down. With a Roku and Amazon exclusive deal on the horizon, she’ll need a dedicated workforce to help with her ever-expanding empire.
“Should America go down the drain because people don’t want to go back to work? I continue to work five days a week.”
She’ll need labor, and she’ll need people to show up and put in their all.
The question is, can she stop the changing tide?
Stanford University commissioned a study that revealed 27% of full time workers in the US work from home.
And 68% of workers, according to a reliable survey conducted by Zippia, would prefer to work remote.
Although, the number has certainly gone down since pandemic’s height, when it was at 60%. But economists predict the work from home numbers will remain flat at 25% for the rest of the decade at least.
That means, one in four people don’t actually show up to work.
With the US Treasury spiraling even further into debt, coupled with a labor shortage, the culture of US industriousness seems to be hanging by a thread.
