Surely banks would save a lot of money closing the offices and going full remote?
Honestly I feel like the amount of articles I see from Standard, City AM, the Financial Times, Mail, Telegraph etc all harking on about the end of work from home, the end of remote jobs blah blah.
It all feels so desperate. There’s a load of Remote jobs or hybrid working jobs out there.
I honestly believe they are trying to gaslight people into accepting going back into the office because people aren’t willing to go back to the office and they are bricking it.
> The other factor for the traditional City — the shirt-sleeved traders and bankers — is that there isn’t enough business at the moment to keep them all in lunch.
> If things don’t pick up by Christmas, redundancies are coming — a bonfire of the bankers, perhaps.
Sooo business not going too well, must therefore be all that working from home obviously.
Maybe I’m massively out of the loop, but for all this talk of people being pushed back into the office no one in my social circle has found themselves in this position?
Across plenty of different industries (tech, construction, financial services, professional services), we’re all still under the same WFH arrangement that we were immediately post-pandemic, and that’s with multiple job moves as well.
It’s almost as if this is…. Scaremongering?
Almost as if the big banks have a vested interest in commercial office lets…
Fuck em, let the offices fail and get turned into apartments. Something useful.
I’ve recently been interviewing for software engineering jobs, one of the options was a bank, but they required a mandatory 3 days a week in office and would not budge, and another option was an energy company which was fully remote.

I really dont understand this attitude?

You can guess which one I went for.
