Real estate billionaire Steven Roth's prediction that Fridays are "dead forever" for in-office work has been confirmed by Nick Bloom, head of WFH Research. Bloom's research shows that Fridays have increasingly become the designated work-from-home day, as companies push for coordinated hybrid work arrangements. In-person collaboration and socializing remain the main appeal of office work, leading to the consensus among coworkers to coordinate being home on Fridays. Bloom describes this new arrangement as a "three-part week," with Mondays through Thursdays, the weekend, and Fridays.
