The Swifies will wait in a Merch line for three hours, will meticulously place the crystal freckles on their faces, and eliminate a Michael to make bracelets ready for the concert, it is therefore not surprising that 6% plan to take off for the release of October 3 The life of an exhibitionAccording to a new Bamboohr survey. Employees who TO DO The work on the day of the exit can be distracted by an animated group cat, because 10% of fans report that their company has a dedicated Swifie channel on Slack or the teams.

The latest fast version is not the first cultural phenomenon to distract labor employees. According to UKG, around 22.6 million Americans planned to take off in the Super Bowl on Monday of this year. In addition, one in four workers in the United States said that their productivity has dropped during the 2024 Olympic Games, NBCuniversal said. (This is not all bad news, however: some workplace experts think that such events can help connect workers.)

October 3 will not even be the first time that labor productivity has been raising thanks to the Swifies, according to some reports. In August, when Swift announced on Instagram his engagement with Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce, work may have stopped for many swifies, because 22% said he had heard the news on work, Bamboohr noted. At least one company ended the work day early, to determine any attempt to put the employees on the right track would be futile.
