Martha Stewart has revealed she’s not a fan of the hybrid work model and demands the return of a five-day work week in the office.
The lifestyle icon and television personality has chimed in on the remote work debate, claiming moving away from the five-day model would disrupt economies everywhere.
Speaking to Footwear News Stewart kept her focus to the US, which she claims will “go down the drain” if people keep avoiding the office.
“You can’t possibly get everything done working three days a week in the office and two days remotely,” Steward told the publication.

Comparing America to France, the 81-year-old claimed the US is “not a very thriving country.”
“Should America go down the drain because people don’t want to go back to work?” the celebrity cook asked, noting she is on a “rampage” to get people back into the habit of working in person and in the office.
Stewart has enjoyed a lengthy career, dabbling in the worlds of stockbroking, TV, modelling, and food.
Last month, the TV personality and lifestyle guru made history as the oldest model to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.

Stewart surprised fans when she posed in a one-piece bathing suit for the iconic magazine, the photo shot in January 2023.
During the cover story interview, Stewart spoke about ageing and her history-making debut – revealing she avoided “any bread or pasta” for several months to get in shape.
In another interview last month, the star told PEOPLE “there’s no relaxing really going on” in her life and shared her views on retirement.
“That’s not what my life is about,” she said of the idea of taking time off.
“My life is about doing things and learning things and teaching things. There’s no reason to retire.

“I can write sitting down, I can dictate lying down if I have to. I can do any number of things in different places in different ways.”
Currently Stewart is preparing for the upcoming release of her 100th book, which will feature 100 of her favorite dishes.
“We have beautiful photographs, historic photographs from over the years of the dishes and how they’ve changed,” she said.
“It just shows how, over the years, things have changed in presentation, dishes, and glassware even. It’s sort of curious!”
