The Three-Day Workweek -- March 3, 2023

The 3-day week: wow, wow, wow. the fog is clearing. A new theme for 2023 will be posted.

Fifty percent of office workers are still working remotely and big corporations are having difficulty of getting their workers back to the office. At best it looked like they might get workers back four days each week, but now, two new data points:

  • USAA: told its workers yesterday that they will be bac in the office three dahys iif they want ot keep their jobs;
  • Huge commercial property owner (NYC area) declared bankruptcy yesterday; talk has shifted to "A" property and "B" property -- and now commercial property, to survive, is factoring in a three-day workweek.

Putting this all toogether: for office workers and where else possible, the US workweek will morph into a permanent three-day workweek, not the four-day workweek we all thought was the transition back to the five-day workweek.
