Fridays as the New Work-From-Home Days
Fridays have become the popular choice for working from home, with office workers across the world opting for this day to avoid commuting and enjoy a long weekend. The shift from in-office work on Fridays to remote work has been driven by various factors, including the desire for a more flexible schedule and a sense of rebellion against employers. Additionally, technology advancements and the rise of younger, more remote-friendly companies have contributed to this trend. The data suggests that Fridays now have the lowest office occupancy rates, with only around 20% of office workers in the office on this day. This shift in work patterns is unlikely to reverse anytime soon and might even lead to an increase in overall work-from-home levels in the future.
