During a recent interview with Footwear News (a fashion news portal), Martha Stewart, the popular American businesswoman, writer, lifestyle icon, and TV host, expressed her disapproval of the hybrid work model. During the interview, she revealed her true feelings about hybrid jobs despite it being about her new Sketchers collaboration. In fact, she has gone on record as saying that the United States will “go down the drain” if corporations continue to enable their workers to work hybrid and encourage them not to go back to work.

The 81-year-old Martha Stewart Show host received an almost instant criticism on social media. Netizens were outraged and chastised her for her hypocrisy. The user even said: How is it possible for employees to do everything they need to do in the office three days every week and work remotely two days a week? After contrasting American and French production levels, she criticized Americans for adopting the French work culture, claiming that France isn’t a successful country. Martha Stewart’s statements that she was on a “rampage” to get American employees to return to working from home caused quite a stir on social media platforms, particularly Twitter.
