JPMorgan asks staff to return to office five days a week, prompting complaints

(Reuters) -U.S. bank JPMorgan Chase on Friday asked its employees who are on hybrid work schedules to return to the office five days a week starting in March, an internal memo seen by Reuters showed, prompting hundreds of staff comments, including complaints. Financial companies have been aggressive in enforcing return-to-office demands in the wake of the pandemic which began to impact the U.S. in 2020. Many companies began to call staff back to the office as early as 2021.
