There is way more monitoring than just badge swipes, zoom time, login time, hours in outlook, web browsers, Microsoft software...they can see it all. If you are working, it shouldnt matter. And 3 years ago everyone was working in the office 5 days a week, 3 seems like a nice improvement.
To the guy above, you probably got laid off because you weren't very good at your job....that has nothing to do with an office
JPMC as with any company has the right to track their employees attendance and now monitoring the Hybrid schedule. JPMC actually did an amazing job during the pandemic getting people home safely. As for initiating hybrid schedules for those jobs that can be done at home we’ll that is a different story.
First of all, the micromanaged approach in how they do business is 100% especially when they have senior leaders to manage middle managers and they suck! It’s ridiculous how slim-shady Senior leaders are and get away with a lot while dictating ways to managing others out of the company unfairly. One false move and your on the path to get you out the door!!! (Especially when you are not a “yes man” all the time !). As for hybrid and the FEAR OF GOD and panic -absolutely but it’s not just about managing who goes in office, it’s about everything the employees do. I mean having a senior leader chastise one of their manager because they take their own PTO off on their scheduled day to be in office is ridiculous now. It’s about the inequities..if you are liked your golden, if you are not then watch your back! The poor moral is spiraling even more now. It’s become the culture and has been for years in Elgin IL. Card services office.
Having employees go into the office is fine but then manage them, engage with them and be leaders. One senior leader scheduled a meeting in- office in a conference room. The first live meeting in 2 years…The employees showed up, but Senior Leader (mr be in the office now because we say so), didn’t even bother to leave his office and walk down the 20 feet or so into the conference room to join the meeting. He Skyped in on VIDEO! Really ?? From his office in the building only feets away!
It Defeats JD’s desire to be back and be engaged with each other way of thinking post-pandemic. The hypocrisy is ridiculous when your own Sr Leader Is Covid scared and stays in his office the entire day with the door closed…um remind us why we need to be in-office ? So cold and detached. So JPMC easily looses reality in a lot of ways because they don’t really know what goes on in the trenches -sure JD and his leaders may have good intentions but they have no clue who and how their lowers leaders really lead and that in fact lack the leadership that the core value of the firm demands!!
When I worked for JPMC I worked in a building where a badge was required to get in and out.
I never had any WFH arrangement or anything but I went into the office maybe once a month - and nobody cared. My location had no relevance to the role I performed for the bank. I established trust with my boss by doing my work - we agreed on expectations.
The bank could have enforced this anytime before the pandemic, but didn't - maybe they would have had a better benchmark of who was in-office in the earlier days.
Justification of poor decisions to over invest in real estate seems to now have to be rationalized rather than adjusting and course correcting strategy - something that is sure to backfire.
I'm so happy I left the firm before this BS - I would have been very frustrated (and left anyway) if the arrangement managing my work between me and my boss was not up to us.
Say, what ever happened to that "bureaucracy buster" group anyway?
Yes they also talked about how it upsets many employees in this article

These people clearly live in a different reality and need to grow up. This is beyond first world problems.
I thought JP Morgan went fully remote for those that can work from home. Is that not the case?
Times are different now. WfH gives quality life. Any employeer that doesn't see that is risking loosing quality people for competitior as I have seen over the past months.
I never did so many interviews in my life like this time. Even when I got laid off 5 years and my only job was look for a job I did so interviews like I have been doing in the last two months.
I get to the point where I can ask salary range and if is remote before even accept hear more about the company after being reached by recruiters.
Times are different now. If your employer demands you being in The Office for a position that can be done at home, run like there's no tomorrow!

Typical journalist garbage. Oh nooo a company is monitoring their staff by using "reports". no sh-t
Umm, I found a new job around two months ago that lets me work remote fully so it’s definitely doable. Crybabies about being in office is normal nowadays aren’t getting the point. The first guy even answered his own question, willing to go to office because he is desperate after losing a job lmao
At least JP Morgan didn’t mandate vaccines and booster. So that’s a good thing. Not sure why going back to office is so difficult for people.
If you ain’t showing up to work, you’re putting yourself at risk for being on the RIF list.
So let me get this straight…. You have a full time, well paying job and they only require you in the office 3 days a week? What has become of people? I would love to have a job right now and I would gladly work 5 days in the office, if required. I got laid off last month and I’ve been looking but the job market is not as hot as everyone says it is.
So all you people complaining, be careful. It’s not as easy to just land another job and commuting three days into the office is a vacation schedule. Get over it. There are people, like me, who don’t mind coming into the office, yet I got laid off. This is so frustrating.
