"JPMorgan’s leader believes that when employees are inside the office working together (instead of remotely or for a few in-person days here and there) the company and its employees experience greater levels of innovation, creativity and teamwork."

tell me about the innovations you've pioneered, Jamie

Screwing people :p

But that being said, just think like their boss, when doing remote work you have to record every interaction like email and chats of employees. But when they are in the offi e, you can conspire your fraud in an office room without any record. So remote work easily impact their revenue by limiting their capacity of unethical business practices...

> end remote work and require more than 300,000 employees to work from the office five days a week.

Ending remote work is one thing. Requiring workers to come to the office five days a week is a whole other thing! There is a wide spectrum between the two. The two are not the same.

Whenever this happens, the reason is the same. They want to lay off people without having to pay severance and unemployment benefits.

Let's not sugarcoat it, it's just a way to fire a large number of employees, it's never been a debate about remote work.

The issue for them is that usually it's the best employees leaving when done this way and the company is then stagnating.

That’s what I keep hearing but the remote job market is getting very competitive. With all these RTO mandates it’s going to be a tough market for many to find work.
