Goldman Sachs said Sunday that it will join other major banks in encouraging employees in the U.S. to begin the new year working from home.
JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Bank of America have also asked staffers to work from home as the country endures a major uptick in COVID-19 cases fueled by the omicron variant.

15 days to flatten the curve.
Can they put an ATM in my living room?
WHAT could go wrong? Some twit has access to everyones bank account from home....
Just what WE ALL wanted-— Bank employees working from home with the INTERNET-—
You know-—The electronic system that is easily HACKED.
Went to draw cash from ATM last Wednesday, it was “closed”. Is this how they’ll avoid having the run on banks? No staff to service needs?
As long as the ATM is full and my account balances, I’m fine.
Speaking of Government Sachs, any news on the TB scare at their NYC office...?
I think you show up at their place demanding cash. Things should work out just fine.
Mysterious stuff happening. I've gone to our local B of A branch to make a business deposit 3 times in recent days and it's been closed. A Sheriff's officer is posted there who says no tellers are showing up for work. So why is a police presence necessary?
Most of these probably hadn’t returned to the offices yet anyway, so this isn’t a change to them.
What is really going wrong is those jobs are even easier to send to Mumbai...
“Major US banks to start new year working from home”
So...who’s house do I visit the cash a check?
MUFG Union Bank, Truist, Wells Fargo, etc. They are all remote and have been remote for almost 2 years. None of the employees or contractors want to return to the office.
Eventually a lot of those office buildings are going to be sold off to developers to convert into apartments/condos. Companies stand to make a lot of money hiving those off.
I saw police (sheriffs) at a bank only once.
It was when Best Bank closed down.
You might want to check into this.
There’s a limit to how much they can offshore. So instead they flood us with H1b Indians who work at a significant discount to what it would cost to employ an American. No joke, those large skyscrapers are literally 1/4 to 1/3 filled with H1b Indians.
No kidding.
The only limitation I’m aware of is when contracts specifically require financial info remain in the US; that is probably why they import those Indians. For years now I’ve seen a lot of Asians replace the older Americans in the financial sector.
I have set foot in a bank exactly once in the past 30 years.
And that was only because I needed to quickly replace a lost credit card.
