I assume if ibankers in NYC can wfh, those in sydney should be able to as well?

So there are some groups at JP in NYC that can’t, but I do think they’re trying to open up smaller offices outside the city in both nyc and London for that. Your brother is right though in that some programs will only run on JP computers because of our security measures
