I recently had dinner with a friend of mine who until recently worked for JP Morgan Chase. He said that as a company, Chase hates having people working from home, and is doing everything they can to get their employees back into the offices.
The mass move to remote working is an artifact of the Covid Pandemic. When it blows out, companies will review the impact of large scale remote work. With the pressure of the pandemic removed, I'd bet they'll want their workers on a shorter leash.
i agree ... wait until companies review productivity when people are left to their own supervision ...many will be brought back in .
I personally love working from home.
I no longer wage 2-3 hours a day on commute, money on commute, dealing with gross mass transit or masses of people.
My home office is setup how I want it. My own gear.
I get to see kids more and heave more time in general for myself.
Been looking at homes in Tennessee. Boy does it look attractive.
I can sell my house and almost buy a home fully in cash there. Be able to retire or semi retire anytime after 45, 50 at most. Nature, family values, calm, no income tax. What’s not to love.
Plus space for hobbies, cars, boats, rv, atv, off roading, hiking.
There is more to life than chasing dollars. People just don’t know what quality of life is anymore.
Right. It’s up to the individual. But the blanket assumption that everyone who works from home is slacking off and eating bon bons all day, is outdated and wrong.
Confirmed.
Wife has been working from home since March.
She misses going to work because it’s less work. You get to chat to people, walk from department to depart ent. Go out for lunch. Waste more time basically.
Me? I love it. Less people the better. Plus Uber eats brings whatever I want to my doorstep.

Chase is an anomaly. I know many corps actively recruiting many roles as permanent remote, some having recognized when they had issues getting talent before, they can weaponize wfh to obtain people that would previously not consider them.
The majority of NYC corps surveyed by Partnership NY indicated, before the new wave, the percentage expecting significant staff back by 7-2021 was a minority of NY corps. I have little doubt with this wave, 2021 in NY is largely written off in terms of re-occupying office space. Even Chase retreated quickly a few months back getting staff back, after they had an outbreak. I also do not think that Congress can agree on a bailout which would need to include full corp covid immunity. No immunity = no callback, due to corp lawyers telling execs it is not wise to the bottom line to risk one.
Google it ..there are now more and more studies showing the same lower productivity..you can argue all you want but i see it right with my own eyes as well as this is what data studies are now showing.
It took months to be able to tell and now it is showing lower productivity...

Your posts had some only studying Europe..LOL..not the USA.
Corps follow the herd, not Chase, the anomaly.
Partnership NY studied it in detail, as have other business orgs nationally. Its crushing mass transit as ridership is projected to be anemic for years to come. The MTA, US largest, is bracing for far under normal ridership until, at minimum, 2025.

I can find articles all day that say otherwise. The NY Times is loaded with articles however most may have trouble accessing them ..they all show on a large scale the Stamford study years ago was wrong as far as productivity being higher from home

The supposed decreased productivity (now vs earlier in the pandemic) is probably due to pandemic fatigue. Keep in mind this isn’t a “normal” WFH situation. We’re not just working from home, we are essentially locked indoors and cannot socialize normally with friends and other loved ones. Also consider those with children have an added challenge. It’s not the WFH that’s the problem, it’s the pandemic.
