I worked for JPMorgan Chase before and this doesn't surprise me one bit. Such a backasswards company that cares little for its customers or its employees. I will forever avoid doing any sort of business with Chase for as long as I live. Complete trash.

All the valuable employees: go to work somewhere else

never had a good experience dealing with Chase, I guess leadership feels the same for the employees?

Chase has been mailing me literally the same letter for the past 12 years. I think they send it once or twice a month. It is a cardboard paper with a huge “500” on it, begging me to open an account with. Mind you, it goes directly in the trash. They waste so much paper.

Pay people for the commute.

[–] HortiEastwood@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And for the commute time, regular pay

I would honestly rather have the time

His employees should take him up on that.

[–] Boozilla@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This is the ONLY thing they listen to. If you want to work from home and your employer doesn't let you, it's time to quit.

I have nothing bad to say about people who prefer going in to the office. I respect your preference and I understand it is necessary for some positions. You are valuable, too, and there's plenty of places that would love to have you.

There's room in this work world for both types of jobs. It's not an either-or choice.

Anyone who can WFH and wants to WFH should be allowed to do so, full stop.

Pay people during their commutes, they “clock in” as soon as they get into their cars and “clock out” only when they get home.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That rewards employees for living as far away from the office as possible. Is that a fair thing to do? I seriously don't know.

[–] loom_in_essence@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you're right, let's scrap offices altogether and wfh 100%

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Something tells me there might be a middle ground here.

[–] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Here's a radical idea: just let each employee decide if and when they work from home or in the office.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm not sure why you're talking to me like I'm suggesting some sort of crazy thing when I wasn't even making any suggestions...

[–] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not? You said there must be a middle ground between incentivizing a forced RTO vs scrapping offices altogether and I presented one.

Sometimes you just gotta pick someone to reply to the whole conversation going on

[–] Brainsploosh@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not rewards, incentivises, means the employer has a larger labor pool to pick from, which in capitalism is good.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But isn't making commutes longer a bad thing? Especially for the planet? And this is encouraging it.

[–] Brainsploosh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Capitalism in general is bad for the planet
