Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs will lift all COVID protocols that have kept some workers away as it pushes all employees to return to the office five days a week after Labor Day, The Post has learned.
In a memo sent Tuesday obtained by The Post, Goldman Sachs told workers it will no longer require vaccines, COVID testing or masks — a signal it won’t accept excuses for employees who claimed COVID as a reason for working from home.
“There is significantly less risk of severe illness,” the memo stated. “In line with [the CDC’s] updated protocols, if you have not been coming in to the office, please speak with your manager to ensure that you understand and adhere to your division’s current return to office expectations.”
The official memo comes just days before the bank expects all employees to return to its offices five days a week, sources add.
“This is another way of Goldman Sachs saying, ‘School’s in session and we want you in person’ after Labor Day,” Wells Fargo bank analyst Mike Mayo told The Post.
“Goldman is the ultimate customer-facing firm and it’s tough to face customers remotely.”
Wells Fargo analyst Mike Mayo says this is Goldman’s way of saying “School’s in session.”

The real reason: Get back in the offices before Gov Abbott sends more illegals to NYC and Comrade Mayor Adams seizes the buildings to house his new sanctuary guests.
Libs are gonna gaslight saying it never happened and all the lockdowns are myth.
That and they are loosing millions and millions in leases that are unused.
or, at best, underutilized.
Exactly! ...until they devise the next fear campaign to steal the next election.
The companies won't have to pay unemployment, and they want to scale down anyway. Biden's booming economy cited.
Elon Musk said they can "pretend to work somewhere else".
Excellent! More prey as they commute to work for New York criminals. 😀
They will blame it on Trump and get away with it, just like blaming Nixon for the Vietnam war, and anyone who refutes it will get banned from the media, which today means Twitter and Facebook.
Employers definitely have a love-hate relationship with the whole “work-from-home” regime.
Goldman Sachs may find it hard to imbue their new employees with its particular (unique?) corporate culture when they insist on working from home.
Gov Youngkin did that in VA with state employees. Thousands quit rather than go back to the office.
That, is hilarious.
Yep the party is over. The economy is going in a recession. So any leverage the employees had over their employers is now gone. Hopefully that will put things back to what they were before 2020.
“Libs are gonna gaslight saying it never happened and all the lockdowns are myth.”
You mean like Fauci said he never shut down anything?
LOL!! “pretend to work”.
As far as I know, NYC still has a vaccine requirement for all employers.
And then they wonder what happened to productivity and their knowledge base....
Saw some friends, both of whom were just over covid for a second time. I suggested they get shots. They had, all four. I suggested they get at least 2 more boosters. They asked about us. Hell no, we are getting any shots. Haven’t had a problem.
I’m not a betting man but I’d better that they have more “advanced degrees” than you do.
In the Pennsylwania Dutch country we call that:
“Too soon ault und too late schmardt”
