Double standard. While privileged employees who want to work from home complain about having to go into work there are many employees that have no choice and have to go in. There are many employees that work at (and drive to) MetroTech AND alternate between working from home one week and being in the office the next. This privileged group of individuals work on floors 4 and above The unprivileged make a lot less money, take mass transit and are not given any choice but the choice to go in to work.
I am so sick and tired hearing the privileged complain, while many of us have no choice.

I had to double check and make sure this is not from the Onion. We live in interesting times, that being put nicely.

Disagree. You should be glad people complain. That will lessen the volume of commuters and total people exposed overall thus reduce the risk for everyone else who have no choice. If only 50,000 such employees are required by role, why would anyone think exposure for entire 250k JPMC population will not end any other way but worse?? This post is giving crab mentality vibes… just bec you don’t like it doesn’t make it better by putting everyone else is in the same boat
I appreciate your feelings but you are misdirecting your frustration at a group you could be allying with rather than labeling as privileged. Workers at all levels need and deserve better protections and compensation from their employers. If one group is demanding better conditions, follow suite and demand ones that make sense for your role. This attitude is only serving those who continue to perpetuate your current circumstances.
You do have a point, and I agree with the double standard on this issue. If a person can work from home, then the same job, technically, can be outsourced to India. That would be a great boost on the bottom line, while thinning out the non-compliant headcount.
