Does anyone understand why they are forcing us to come back into the office to work in Excel? Is it because they miss making our life miserable?

The office is empty! No one wants to come in and potentially DIE. Not when they can WFH and stay ALIVE at least.
Its also about trying to boost the economy as employees in office spend money on clothes, dry cleaning, breakfast, lunch, coffee, happy hour, etc.
All the big firms are working with the govt.
As for RTO, they don't care who leaves, furthers attrition strategy so they don't have to pay heavy severance.
You mean RTTDT - return to the death trap.
RTTO not worth risking my life over, sorry not sorry.
A certain higher up sent a firm wide memo regarding RTTO and says employees believe they work more efficiently in office and if they want to come in more then three days a week, they are welcome to do so..... pretty sure that is not true and if that is, what about those that believe WFH is more efficient then working in office ? Do they hear their voices as well ? OH, that’s right, employees that favor RTTO never existed so ofc it doesn’t add up
Is it because they miss making our life miserable?
Yes,
It is because they miss making our life miserable?
Being miserable at work is a mandatory requirement for working at JPMorgan Chase!
Yes wants people to leave more no one wants to return to office will lose more by end of year
Its coming from the top and unfortunately the company will suffer due to this. From what I can tell, Jamie believes that for many if the roles people need to be working closely, something that's harder to do remotely. I'm suspecting its because there are parts of the company outside of Tech, that really needs to be in office, and it affects their accomplishments. But at the top level, they don't distinguish tech or non-tech. They just want to make the same rule for everyone, for consistency, and enforce it around.
Its just being pushed down and no feedback is being heard from bottom to the top. Unfortunately, this is really a form of dis-function and it will be too late until they realize the problem with this, when they would lose all the good people. Already its difficult to hire and retain. This is just another blow.
I joined recently and now started applying to other companies. Didn't know they were going to be this pushy about having us in the office. In addition they removed social distancing, which makes no sense. They should make going in optional, and up to the team.
RTTO provides the legal justification to force medications on employees.
This isnt about your ability to do your job effectively from wherever.
It’s working. I’m going to update my documentation and go shop for something remote.
You would think they would want to keep "the work from home" perk to attract people to the firm and not to make it like every other firm. But no, JD doesn't want to be different, "pEOple peFOrM BeTtEr iN THe OFfiCe."
Just another tool to get people to leave.
