JP morgan is forcing me to come into office, i am still waiting for my second dose. Jamie is forcing ppl to come into work and making up stupid anecdotes about how ppl are unproductive at home. Him being "fed up" means i have to risk my life. [1] I don't understand how he is getting away with this. 1. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/04/jamie-dimon-fed-up-with-zoom-calls-and-remote-work-says-commuting-to-offices-will-make-a-comeback.html https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/04/jamie-dimon-fed-up-with-zoom...

Kroger's CEO getting paid bonuses [1] to avoid giving front-line workers hazard pay while continuing to put their lives literally on the line over the past year gives me little hope that anyone will ever be held accountable for this sort of behavior. https://www.bloombergquint.com/onweb/kroger-blasted-for-ending-hazard-pay-gave-its-ceo-22-million#:~:text=to%20frontline%20workers.-,(Bloomberg)%20%2D%2D%20Kroger%20Co.,for%20store%20and%20warehouse%20workers https://www.bloombergquint.com/onweb/kroger-blasted-for-endi....

Probably because studies like this and others show that WFH is less productive.

  I highly doubt he is making his decisions based on academic studies. He is quoting dubious personal anecdotes to justify his decisions.

  If I had to guess, it's overzealous middle management layers wanting to show Jamie that their teams are proactive and doing more than the minimum. You know, because of their exceptional leadership qualities.

    Besides what you said which is very likely true. These type of things are always verbal communication all the way to top. So it would not be surprise either if management made very measured release and written communication but internally/verbally it is hustling to get everyone back asap. We have roughly about same announcement. It is confounding to hear "You all did great working from home. Now be back asap to work and meet face to face." Apparently working via slack/webex from office is vastly more productive than doing same from home.

    If workers were suddenly doing their jobs with simple emails and independence instead of micromanaging, why, what need of stratified layers of middle management would their be? You could cut down two or three useless layers of corporate administration altogether and have people that actually did work. What kind of a world would that be?!

    If I had to guess, it's overzealous middle management layers trying to keep up the appearance they're still providing value after months of diminished ability to micromanage over Zoom

I'll send you my managers email address you can ask him personally if you are so curious. Maybe you'd have better luck finding out than me.
