Martha Stewart wants WFH to end: 'Should America go down the drain?'

Martha Stewart, renowned American businesswoman, and recent Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, has taken on a new mission—to get the American workforce back into their offices. Stewart, known for her culinary expertise and entrepreneurial success, believes that a return to full-time office work is crucial for productivity and the country's prosperity.

In an interview with Footwear News, Stewart expressed her concern about the rise of hybrid or remote work arrangements that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. She argues that working three days a week in the office and two days remotely is not sufficient to accomplish tasks effectively.

Stewart even cited France as an example, criticising their tradition of taking the entire month of August off. She stated, "That's not a very thriving country. Should America go down the drain because people don't want to go back to work?"

Her remarks to get the American workforce back in action is rooted in the staffing shortages experienced across various industries due to retirements and people leaving their jobs during the pandemic.
