Comment on Goldman Sachs is ordering employees back to the office 5 days (or more) a week

Comments

Kind of telling that the employees really do not like working together: "employees could resume working together in person, as Solomon emphatically wants them to do, without further shutdowns. Yet as of late morning on that Tuesday, only about 5,000 of Goldman’s 10,000 HQ workers had shown up" I'd bet the number was closer to 4k if anything. This is clearly a structural cultural mismatch.

Might not even be cultural, i love going into work but in order to not blow my paycheck on renting a shitty apartment, i live a bit further out so commuting 2 hours each day through rush hour traffic when i could be spending that time with family or exercising just doesn't seem worth it to me. Hybrid model is good but even then if you choose a day when the majority of your team mates are not there, what good is going into work.

The ever more expensive, increasingly shitty apartment vs. the increasingly unsustainable commute is the key bit I think.
