Seems sorta crazy...what happens if there's another wave of the virus in NYC? If I was in this situation I might consider jumping ship no matter how great the job is... Poll question: Would you feel safe to return to the office on Sept 21st? If anyone works at the top at JPM, what exactly is your plan to keep people safe? https://www.wsj.com/articles/jpmorgan-top-brass-tell-trading-floor-staff-to-come-back-to-the-office-11599757313
I’m back in the office. What are you so afraid of?
Glaucoma? Cardiac enlargement and damage? Impaired cognitive function? Encephalomyelitis and chronic fatigue? https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/covid-19-can-wreck-your-heart-even-if-you-havent-had-any-symptoms/
Is there a vaccine coming soon. Looks like.

Dude, what?

I've been in an Investment Bank like JP before. Just to give more idea, the way trading works is that it needs traders and sales people to take quick decisions without wasting much time in coordinating activities around that decision. so although this decision may not be a safer choice, it is definitely a good option money wise for both the traders ( commissions based on the trading ) and the bank. please note : I'm just giving the rationale from the perspective of the banks. I do not think that we should keep money before safety.
Money > life
Isn’t that coordination done through a headset anyway?
I would prefer to go back to the office
Is it just the traders or are other bankers etc. also forced to go back
traders
@Wayfair I am hoping that traders are a bit smarter about infection control than college kids or high schoolers. Also very nasty to wish death to others. Who do you think manages your 401K accounts, even if indirectly?
this is very nasty comments, why do you think bankers all deserved that?
My friends at JPM have been back at the office part time since June, so this is kind of old news... virus has remained in check despite return to office etc because people are being smart. I’m sure if it spikes again, they will re-evaluate.
traders and sales only or everyone? how about Tech?
I'm dying to return to work
Yikes
I see what you did there
