Don’t live in Orrville, Ohio? Your transition back to the office might still be as smooth as creamy peanut butter.
J. M. Smucker, the manufacturer behind Jif peanut butter and Smucker’s jelly, and its 1,300 person workforce is returning to its headquarters in Orrville on a hybrid model. But rather than requesting workers come in on core days of the week, such as Tuesdays and Wednesdays, like most companies, Smucker is delineating 22 “core weeks” a year, according to a new exclusive from the Wall Street Journal’s Chip Cutter. Company leaders publish a core-weeks schedule a year in advance, the Journal wrote; for the most part, it shakes out to two core weeks per month, with just one in July and December to allow for extended holidays and travel.
