Let JPM employees walk. I'll gladly take one of their jobs and work in-office.
Buildings waste an incredible amount of money and add a ton of risk. They are at best a necessary evil. For most of the work happening here with "admin" workers, they are a complete waste. I go to the office. Bunch of people with headsets on and heads down. It's a joke and complete morale ki-ler. But yeah, of you think spending a fortune for no benefit is the way to go, you might have a future as a detestable bank executive.
Apparently the big advantage of wfh is it increases retention. They don’t want retention so bring on RTO
I don’t disagree with returning to the office but what I do disagree with is why 5 days a week? In the age of technology we can definitely come into the office 3 days a week. If there’s a meeting on a given day, I can come in for that meeting. I don’t understand why the disrespect manner in which management communicates. I remember being at American Express after Sept 11th and our CEO Ken Chennault delivering our vision and mission and laying off employees in a respectful and dignified way. If you treat me with respect, I can go above and beyond. Great leaders certainly know how to effectively managed their employees. This is clearly a leadership issue.
The rest of my team members are all located in different time zones and I am the only one in California. I do not intereact with anybody in the office except for insignificant small talks with strangers.
It takes 60 min to get to my office due to the rush hour traffic. Most of my important meetings happen between 6am PT and 12pm PT. When I am driving, I have to miss one or two important meetings.
I do not see how I can be productive by commuting to the office 3 times a week. I am just wasting my time and gas.
Where is DOGE when you need 'em....
President Donald Trump’s Florida golf trips cost taxpayers more than $18 million since he regained the presidency, HuffPost claims. In just 48 days back in office, Trump has hit the links 13 times. Most of these excursions have taken place at his West Palm Beach golf course, with three others at his Doral resort near Miami. A 2019 Government Accountability Office report found each of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago trips during his first term cost an eye-watering $3,383,250, a figure that’s presumably risen. These costs include Air Force One flights, military transport, and extensive security involving police boats and the Coast Guard. Despite his claim of being “busy” when asked if he’d golf on a California trip, Fox News caught him in the act two days later. The rate he’s out golfing suggests he’s on track to surpass the $151.5 million spent on similar trips during his first term in the White House, straining taxpayers’ wallets once again.
“I happen to be a believer that you have to go to work. I don’t think you can work from home,” Trump said on Feb. 11. “Nobody’s going to work from home, they’re going to be going out, they’re going to play tennis, they’re going to play golf. They’re going to do a lot of things. They’re not working.”
Three days later, Trump traveled to his sprawling Mar-a-Lago mansion in Palm Beach, where he remained for parts of six consecutive days, according to an NBC News tracker. On one of the days, Trump signed two executive orders and a memorandum. He also held an impromptu press conference.
In other words, he worked from home.
How many times was Elon working in the office last month?
Amen. People who don’t wanna come into the office are certainly not actually valuable employees
Yeah, Jamie faces mutiny.
An article about folks bi--hing on an anon site that you read from your phone while you were taking a sh-t.
Just like Charlie and the dopes who bi--h about him on this site.
The real point that is missed isn't about mandatory 5 days in, it is the internal tracking for performance that is what you need to be worried about. That is messed up.
I don't have to worry about that.
There is nothing the “best talent” can do from home that can’t be done just as well by someone willing to come in to the office.
RTO is how companies identify staff who are serious about working there. In their estimation, those are the best people - the ones willing to make the extra effort.
And why not? For the company, there’s no downside.
will not make one bit of difference. not one person in that firm isn't replaceable with equal or better talent who will happily come into the office for 5 days.
Love the exaggerated headline. "Several hundred"
Don't they have over 300k employees? JPM would love that these several hundred are voluntarily quitting.
People like Jamie and companies like JPM assume they will always be able to attract the best talent no matter what. And the way Jamie sees it, if someone doesn’t want to work hard, come into the office, meet people face to face, etc., then they are not top talent and he doesn’t need them.
