Well, GS has drawn their line in the sand. No clue what "bankers" do as that's not my gig. But there's IT people in there somewhere, I assume, and those are the ones I'd be concerned about - it's a good time for them to find alternate work. Those keeping systems running don't strike me as customer-facing personnel, and we'll see whether GS sees them as important or merely the low-level peons that just get in the way.

Oh, I assume GS has had horrible quarters since Covid since nobody has been in the office? Cuz if they didn't, it's power-trips and real estate talkin'.

You do know how much they pay right ?
There’s a name for people who are just in it for the money. Several actually. Why read hacker news, then? Looking for the next scheme?
I would think that the vast majority of people have a job "just for the money", or am I missing something.
One can be both curious and a mercenary. The money pays for indulging the habit.
I think so? At least for my band. It’s not much different than any finance startup on the east coast.
What is it with banks. JPM pretty much did the same thing
Personally, I think it's "mine is longer" or whatever other euphemism for power tripping you care to use. It's possible they're just staggeringly behind the times, or to be fair there is a customer-facing component to other power-tripping individuals that must be considered. But given that I suspect the boss suits don't do 40 hours in the pen...
At least at my workplace I've noticed that the group of higherups hard-set on "everyone must be in the office" are the same people who are taking 6-month long sabbaticals and quarterly vacations and are rarely actually in the office (I walk past their empty, vacant space every day). Rules for thee...
