Just wondering how many people JPM employs who work in places like India?
All the work that really can be done from home is going to be done by AI.
If the work requires in-person human interaction, it will take longer for the AI to steal that job.
Another moron heard from.
If your job allows and can be effective online/at home the company should encourage it. But, all should be told that this will adversely impact their promotibility (sp?). I would not work for a boss I never see.
I really despise these people.
In other words, work is not the actual task.
Fine. Make younger workers come in so they can learn. As for the rest of us, we’ll pass. Oh? What’s that? You want us to train/teach them? Then pay us for that.
I spent 24 years as a design engineer in Silicon Valley. No one worked from home in those days but schedules varied and it made a huge difference in your career. I had a friend who was a good engineer, but he came in before 7am and left at 5pm because of his commute. He never went anywhere and was poorly reviewed. The most critical time of day was after 5pm. The bosses would get done with all their meetings and circulate around the lab checking on what’s going on. If you were there, great. If not you were forgotten. No one noticed when you came in but leave early and you missed the most important interactions of the day.
Where things went wrong was around 2000, when millennials started entering the workforce. All of a sudden HR and executive leadership started worrying about how to make the workplace attractive to the latest generation, and how to retain them. As a boomer, it was a little bit jarring.
Fortunately, we’ve seen turnover in our executive leadership, and they have been taking a stronger stance the past couple of years, not being willing to be held hostage by worries about retention. If people choose to leave a good-paying job with excellent benefits because of the company’s remote work policy then we will wish them well, and find their replacements. But since many major employers in our city are also moving away from remote work they may come to regret their choice.
Tell it to Biden ahole
If it's so essential for his employees to work in the office today, he should have made that case five years ago when it really mattered. Instead, he showed all the leadership and fortitude of a wet noodle and allowed a bunch of useless government bureaucrats to declare his workforce to be "non-essential" and work from home.
If I was a JPMorgan employee I would tell the guy that I'll come back to the office when he issues a public apology and resigns.
He’s not wrong. Despite what many on FR think, 95% of people do less work and are MUCH less productive than working at the job.
