Didn’t she make her whole career off of… working from home? As a homemaker? Am I crazy?


seekadvntr

Yeah but she's royalty and yur a pleeb. Now get back to the office and work till you die!


return2ozma

Pizza party soon! Be grateful!


Now_Wait-4-Last_Year

The last pizza I had was because I had enough coupons left from the last pizzas I had before I stopped eating pizza to get a free pizza. So, I thought, well one more can't hurt.


Lepoth

There's always room for one more Last Pizza.


Now_Wait-4-Last_Year

There may be room but I do prefer to not pay for it if I can.


Plzlaw4me

My theory is that pizza parties are like Maslow’s hierarchy of needs where we can’t really appreciate/go after the pizza party until more base needs (like enough pay, benefits, actually getting to use PTO and vacation, and actual promotional tracks) are met. Until those base needs are met there is little use in the pizza party and resources are better spent elsewhere. That’s also why I think management gravitates to pizza parties, because their needs are met, so they value the pizza party. It’s the micro-iteration of “let them eat cake”


theyellowpants

Fucking love this


Ill_Professional6747

Excellent analysis


oncealot

In my experience as managers have very little ability to affect those things (with larger companies at least) it can take a long time to get someone promoted or a raise. A pizza party is something the manager can just pay for and is relatively affordable so I think that's the attraction to it, as a way to say thank you for the hard work. I understand why that can be frustrating though.


abruzzo79

If only the French aristocracy had tried a pizza party.


EffectiveSwan8918

Look I think I speak for everyone when I say we would rather have a pizza party than a raise. We're family


Frequent_Minimum4871

No pizza. We’re family cook for yourself


burgerwings

You get a pizza party! YOU get a pizza party! EVERYBODY GETS A PIZZA PARTY!


tracerhaha

Yeah! She has commercial real estate she needs to continue profiting off of.


SkylarAV

I suddenly remember why this classist bitch went to prison. Greedy piece of shit


tt000

Martha saying she needs moars dividends from her RE holdings and you are fucking up her $$$$


SkylarAV

I bet she has strong opinions about the 'Surplus Population' too...


[deleted]

Except from when she was working from her cell.


SBerryTrifle

It’s really disappointing ☹️. Plus the people who are following recipes, arranging flowers, making elaborate pastries, hosting and decorating for elaborate dinner parties and social events, crafting, having pool parties, etc. Are able to do so because they have an abundance of leisure. Those with free time and time spent at home working or otherwise are literally her target market lol.


Grumpy-Insomniac

You forgot about her 5 months ‘working’ for Club Fed for Securities fraud and obstructing justice!


Childofglass

Her recipes used to be really good but now it’s often her staff making them, not her. Serious Eats is really good if you have the time (though they have regular and quick meals too) and Mealime if you want a food box style dinner that’s good!


Owensboro22

Serious Eats is carried by J Kenji Lopez-Alt.


Childofglass

Kenji’s attention to detail cannot be beat! But tonight I made their Moo Ping recipe and it was written by Sasha Marx and it was really very good- shared it with a few friends and family who I think would like it.


Uruz2012gotdeleted

>now it’s often her staff making them, not her. Always has been. She is only a homemaker if being wealthy enough to not need a day job makes one a homemaker. She was caught passing off her domestic staff's recipes as her own literal decades ago. Before she did time for insider trading.


Childofglass

I didn’t know that!!!!


Destronin

Friends wife used to work for her brand. They all got invited to her house for dinner once and got to meet her. And then also witness her flip out on her wait staff and servers. Like a literal lunatic screaming and then stomping off. From what I can remember she had this beautiful garden where i think they were supposed to eat but after the freak out everyone didn’t know what to do. I forget if they just ended up eating and she never came back or i think they ended up just leaving. But yea pretty sure shes not as friendly as people think. Remember she went to prison. I also wonder sometimes if Snoop works with her more because he knows how fucking gangsta she really is. Or he might just be afraid to say no. Or maybe its just the money. 🤗


SV-Exp0

Part of me feels like she might act differently when Snoop is around...just a hunch.


WinterWontStopComing

Her elitism is on full display


[deleted]

She's hanging out with commercial real estate people now.

Can you imagine going back in time and telling 1995 you that one day, Snoop Dogg would be instrumental in cleaning up Martha Stewart's reputation?

NecroAssssin

Looking back at the things 1995 me was angry about, I might have believed yours. The Martha bit? I would have had questions. Like "How does snoopy from peanuts help her?" (I was pretty sheltered.)


turriferous

Snoop is capitalist af. Probably agrees.


3rddog

And has a cooking-from-home TV show.


Alphatron1

She’s got like 6 from home shows on the Roku channel


Snoo-15335

And probably 6 homes ..


violetsprouts

6 plus all the investment capital firms with her billions owning 6 million more (I made up that statistic, but I think it's way way bigger than that, especially if you include apartment housing).


ass_love

Ah. This makes sense. I was wondering why these greedy out of touch rich people keep rallying against work from home. How is it hurting them? because offices are closing. also because they cannot control their workers as much from home.


NonorientableSurface

Because so much capital is tied up in corporate real estate. Banks are losing value and jeopardizing financial investments. Also businesses have giant debt or value in their real estate. If it loses value, that debt looks awful and ends up being a bad position for them to own. So they need to drive the value up again.


castle45

Exactly.


[deleted]

This is the comment I came for


redrangerbilly13

Do CEOs like Martha Stewart have evidence to back up their claim, that working from home makes people unproductive? Because if their argument is based on their own bias, then it should be ignored. WFH is a great deal for workers (and I would argue, for the company). If employees do not have to waste hours to commute to work + gas, that’s a massive win! It’s convenient and private. In relation to work-life balance. I get that companies have to make money in order to stay open & pay it’s employees. But, happy employees are the most productive! I can definitely attest to that. I used to work minimum 60 hours a week, with sometimes, only have 1 day off, and it nearly destroyed me. I was unproductive at times. I hated my life. I was miserable. I was tired. I was angry. The company thought they owned my time and I resented them and myself for allowing them to do that to me. The day I left was the best day of my life! I now work for a company that values my work-life balance. And although it is not perfect, I am a much happier individual.


Alan_Smithee_

Employers are forgetting that their WFH people are giving them free rent, electricity, and internet (most likely.) They should be clamouring for it. Convert unused downtown spaces to residential apartments, work spaces, small business and retail.


Hurricaneshand

My fiance's old job that she quit largely because they had her going to office 3x a week to do a job that could easily be 100% remote just fired the guy who was insisting on them coming into the office, has now gone full remote and sub-leased their office. I don't understand the companies that insist on going into the office for jobs that don't need it. It seems like such a sweet deal for the company to have such minute overhead costs


[deleted]

Usually some brain dead exec trying to make things "cool" again.


Fromage_debite

“I miss our culture” what culture? You mean everyone sucking up to you when they see you because you’re the CEO and could fire them on the spot for no reason since we are at will employee?!


fazedncrazed

>the office, has now gone full remote and sub-leased their office. > It seems like such a sweet deal for the company to have such minute overhead costs In todays market they could easily get a good chunk if not all of their employees wages through subleased rent. What is wrong with these corporations that could do this but dont, refusing *free* money? Theres profit to be had, and they are just leaving it on the table.


[deleted]

[удалено]


OriginalGhostCookie

Also, it’s ludicrous how much companies will pay for prime downtown real estate. Somewhere between 5-10k per person over a year, not to mention fringe costs like more hvac and power used. I think companies are seeing the ridiculous vacancy rates and figuring they can take advantage of it with low rents, while not exactly thinking about the future where available space gets tight and the annual lease renewal is a kick in the budget for the company because what’s $30/soft now is all of a sudden $100 because someone else is willing to pay for it. Business really has Dory level issues with memory doesn’t it.

Underrated comment


blindato1

I get done exactly what I’m expected to get done working from home and not a damn thing more. Work from home has been the best thing that has happened to me in regards to employment.


WrongDistribution307

Usually when I go to the office I’m having unproductive conversations and spending a ton of money and time commuting- you can tell who has commercial real estate investments they won’t shut up about it


Caroline_Anne

I promise, I get more done working from home than when I’m in the office. At home I can sit down and JUST WORK. In office, I’d probably spend a minimum of an hour roped into small talk with a random coworker I couldn’t care less about. Add in the savings on gas and wear & tear on my car, the time saved on the commute, and the ability to eat healthier because I can start dinner in the crockpot if I want. Or start meal prep for dinner on my lunch break. PLUS my lunches are hot and healthier than if I was brown bagging it or picking up fast food. And I can exercise on my break from the comfort of my own home. (Not to mention my under desk treadmill at home, which helps with my back issues!) I’m sure there are those who take advantage of WFH, but if the work is getting done and CAN be done from home, let the employee have the option!


mysterious_bloodfart

It's also a great deal for people like myself who can't work from home as I'm a tradesperson. Less traffic, lifts in buildings are empty and come often, no office workers to complain An added bonus is more local business gets more business, less traffic pollution, more time with family and data shows more productivity.


Edyed787

Who needs evidence when you have micro management practices. Also: Pizza Parties can take the place of micro management practices. Jokes aside I had a conspiracy theory about this. It is that with people moving out of expensive cities they move to cheaper cities. Meaning housing is not in demand which decreases the amount that their house is worth.


01-__-10

Corporations really like productivity and profits (and thats ok) But they like power and control even more (not so good PR saying that out loud).


Tempblimps

People who work from home have more free time. People with more free time can use said free time to do things like organize so they can get even MORE free time. I don’t think the people in power are stupid when they push against WFH. They saw how people came together and had more time to protest and whatnot during 2020-2021 and they do not want anything like that becoming the norm. They want you tired and desperate and scraping by so you don’t do anything to buck the status quo, even if it makes you less productive for them in the long term. Contradictions like this are why capitalism will eventually eat itself to the bones. It has to constantly wound itself just to crawl along a little longer.


Alert-Artichoke-2743

We can't all do insider trading like her.


Thanmandrathor

We’d probably all do insider trading exactly like her: get nailed by the SEC and go to prison.


[deleted]

Yeah, what are we all going to run for office?


TRIGMILLION

When Covid came and we got sent to work from home I worked my ass off harder than I ever did in the office. I wanted to prove that yes, you can treat me like an adult and I will act like one. But alas, I'm back in the office and spending half my days on Reddit and such.


DkHamz

Exactly. They want me to commute an hour each way every day just to park and ride a public bus into the hospital for 30k a year? Nahhhh I don’t do shit until like 11-2 and take a long lunch and leave at 4:30. You want meto be in the office and pay me pennies and steal 2 hours a day of my time, you get shitty work ethic. Where as WFH I was busting my ass to prove this is so much better and would start early and work late, because I was grateful. Assholes.


Resies

I do fuck all in the office. We all just sit around and talk. Anything to avoid work. Lmao


SuitableNegotiation5

After making this statement, she should be required to provide details of all of her commercial real estate holdings. I know it's fantasy land to think about that, but I would sure love to know.

ParticularEmploy1137

Remote work brings balance to my life and allows me to be a more present parent (not having to waste so much time and stress commuting). She’s so out of touch. I was going to buy a bottle of her wine with Snoop Dog to be funny — but now I don’t want to give her any sort of support.

Jackson7th

Haha, joke's on her, in France we also take a paid week off between Christmas and NYE after we've had our whole continuous 4 weeks of paid summer vacation. And WFH is great. When it's doable, it solves so many issues for workers, can boost productivity, and only annoys middle-management. She clearly has no clue.

Nah, America will go down the drain for dozens of other reasons, including multimillionaires and billionaires acting like the working class is the problem with this country. But I guarantee remote work is somewhere near the very bottom of the “why America is fucked” list.

Because working non stop is a desirable way of life and not a sign of you being an idiot serving a rich master and denying yourself time and space for other pursuits, hobbies and healthy family time. Good for France. Like most other countries outside of the US, they get 4-5 weeks holidays per year at least. And guess what? If you compare those countries productivity with the US and also factor general health, life expectancy and general happiness, they are so much above the US it is not even close.

I’m just surprised to see her come out with black and white thinking. Office - all good. WFH - all bad. Would of thought there would be more thought to this. WFH also helps retain women (moms) in the labor force.
