The three-day office week is kind of a flop. kvelsey reports on what makes it so unpersuasive
Illustration: Curbed, Martin Gee Last month, after the departure of several high-profile executives, Apple walked back its three-day-a-week return-to-the-office policy, which had been slated to go into effect in late May. The company cited the rising number of COVID-19 cases, but the real reason, it seems, was simply that employees didn’t want to.
At the moment, though, we’re in a holding pattern, largely resigned to some kind of hybrid model, the specifics of which are muddy, with return dates continually being postponed. The New York Times, scheduled for a hybrid return in early June, has since put off its plans in the face of rising case numbers. “We’ve paused the start of our expected phase of return to office until conditions improve.
That’s because it raises so many messy questions. Do companies mandate that different teams show up on different days? Leave it all up to the staff? The latter seems like a good way to lure reluctant workers back, but it also means that their office experience will vary and perhaps feel pointless. “If you let people totally choose when to come in themselves, they tend to pick Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, so the offices are full on those days and empty on Monday and Friday,” said Freedman.
