Employees are waiting for them to hear that JPMORGAN Chase will spend their mandate to return to the office.
They are looking for traces, in one case they share a missed document in a group chat.
Employees also distributed information about the tools for monitoring location and productivity.
In a private group chat formed after the announcement of JPMORGANs in January that all employees will be invited to the full-time office, several hundred people turned to the forum to express their concerns, vent on changes and share the little Intel from their region of the bank on offer to understand the bank’s plans.
The “extremely active” chat increases from 100 messages a day, according to one member, an employee of the JPMORGAN 8 years old, who spoke with the Business Insider. This is one of the many signal conversations and Reddit or which JPMORGAN employees turn to as unofficial “support groups” for employees.
“There is a depressing amount of official information within the JPMC,” they said, expressing concern about the lack of e -the fact of what is happening. “We have to find information, they are not aired.”
Last week, a branding branding document was distributed with a group and caused Instant Hubbub, a different member of the chat, which watched the content. This seemed to be a display of escalation steps for employees who do not fulfill the capes of mandates, including lower warnings of distrustful before some.
He would not be able to check the authenticity of the document or determine who gave up him in the encrypted conversation. It is also unclear whether it represents current or future banking policy. What is clear on the basis of the reactions of members of the chat members on the 6 -page outline is that JPMORGAN’s employees are hungry for any traces of how the bank will spend their five -day policy in the office, which began to introduce March 3.
JPMORGAN spokesman has refused to comment on the specifics of the document, but he said: “If employees do not fulfill expectations, there will be consequences – as well as any other performance problem.”
Employees also want to understand how their attendance is monitored. Some care that company monitoring methods cannot correctly record their hours or productivity – which puts them at risk of potential implementation. Others consider that the cape mandate and measures to record the attendance are exaggerated. Employees would get anonymity to talk about the company’s internal data without professional consequences.
One JPMORGAN Tech VP said, sarcastically, if they felt “keeping children ends.”
People in the mentioned group chat are divided by Intel on tools to explore the employee location and productivity. An employee who would not talk to the part that the manager showed them a new tool with a heat map showing how productive employees are based on the subjects they work on the hour. A technologist who has a direct knowledge has confirmed the existence of a tool that has followed productivity for an hour. It is unclear how wide he took out.
“It is impossible to put the number per productivity a minute in a minute,” said the software engineer in a group chat for Bi. “So much of what we do is in connection with communication, learning, planning and investment. The only measurable measures take weeks to come true.”
JPMORGAN said that there is no “there is no solid thermal map that monitors the individual amounts of production”.
“We have had a transparent tool for visiting all employees and managers for several years to review and record their time, including holiday days, sick leave, work from home and travel,” said Bank spokesman.
The software engineer and technologist have described calendars coded in color supervisory panels showing the presence of employees, emphasizing patterns such as looking for work from home every Friday or inviting sick every Thursday. The chat-clown document mentioned such patterns as the basis for managers to open cases of HR against workers.
JPMORGAN also has a long -standing tracking tool, Workplace activity programknown and internally as wadu. Although these types of supervision mechanisms are not new in JPMORGAN, as Would previously report itThey add tension already full of a situation to return to the office.
JPMORGAN’S RTO Introduction was welcomed Praise, contemptand confusion. Bank employees said some offices do not have enough tables, parking or conference rooms, and that messages felt hurriedly and unplanned. In your own memorandum Announcement of the mandate, the bank admitted that the capacity limitations would mean that some offices were not yet ready, and maintain their hybrid policies in the office, working one or two days from home to further.
JPMORGAN CEO JAMIE DIMON In an interview in February, CNBC said that he was aware that this strict policy could result in employers to leave the company and that it was okay with that exhausted.
But not all who are dissatisfied with the five-day RTO are considering leaving the company. Some employees explore the possibility of trade unions and cooperate with the communication workers of America, an organization that has made an effort in the union of about two dozen Wells Fargo branches, as he would have previously reported.
