Not sure about our traders but other MS employees are not forced. We are very grateful. 🙏🏻

No pressure from our management to go back in (although the offices are open). Re GS and JPM, does anyone know if there was actually a problem with WFH productivity, or are people just being forced to go back for no specific reason?

Seems like there’s not a good reason. Floor and diff groups doing well and having a good year for the most part. Seems like managers trying to earn brownie pts for bringing ppl back

Messaging has been different across divisions. We’ve been told that expectation is we will be back, however seems like BO has not been given that same message.

In terms of why, not really sure and honestly pretty angry about the abysmal messaging from management throughout.
