Subject: Office days, my view before the meeting

All,

I'll be blunt. Productivity is down 20% since hybrid. It's in the Castellan research, see
the Practice Weekly piece I forwarded. That is a fifth of our output gone.

I also hear from two clients that they like seeing the team together when they visit.

Three days is not working. I want us at four days from the summer, with Friday as the
flexible day.

Lucian
