JPMorgan Chase employees believe their work-life balance and health and well-being declined following the bank’s decision to return to office full-time in March, Barron’s reports. Based on an internal survey released this week of 90% of the workforce, the aforementioned areas scored lowest, alongside opportunities for internal mobility.
My company did a forced RTO. Moral dropped. In one category, it dropped to 14%. We couldn’t hire anyone and people were quitting. Our president kept saying “We will never return to WFH.”
Less than 6 months after he said that, we went fully remote. The whole RTO thing lasted about a year before they gave up.
I wish this was more prolific. It seems half the people I know who get forced into RTO…the company suffers but it is never RTO’s fault.
Aye. It’s always ok to simply go “shit, we were wrong, let’s do this different this time” because we’re all humans. It’s when you refuse to even consider something a failure and then everyone has to show up and step in that pile of shit every day… Great for morale.
