Trump Cheers JPMorgan Chase for Ordering Workers Back to Office

President Donald Trump praised JPMorgan Chase for its plan to get employees back to the office this month.

“Congratulations to JPMorgan Chase for ordering everyone BACK TO OFFICE on September 21st,” Trump tweeted on Friday morning. “Will always be better than working from home!”

According to The Wall Street Journal, the bank is calling its most senior sales and trading employees back to their offices. Unless an employee has a medical condition or can’t coordinate childcare, managing directors and executive directors are to report back to the office by Sept. 21.

Sources familiar with the return to office plan told the Journal that trading chief Troy Rohrbaugh and Marc Badrichani, the bank’s global head of sales and research, informed employees about the change during conference calls on Wednesday morning.

Most employees have been working remotely amid the coronavirus pandemic.
