Memo leaked through: within the RTO plan of JPmorgan for his largest office

• JPmorgan Chase informed the workers of Columbus, Ohio, to the campus to prepare for the return to full -time on April 21.
• The memo determines that additional parking spaces, a new shuttle service and an improved eating opportunities will be available.
• Not everyone is enthusiastic about the changes, and three employees said business insider why.

The employees of the largest US campus of JPMORGAR received this week in a memo, in which the bank's plans for combating a lack of important amenities such as food and parking also surrounded.

The bank divided the workers of its Polaris campus in Columbus, Ohio -a tech center in which around 12,000 employees are accommodated five days a week from April 21, according to BI respected internal memo.

“We focus on making their full-time return to the office as smoothly as possible,” says the memo, which was sent to the office in Polaris on Monday.

“To ensure that every parking lot can be found, a parking space outside the location nearby offers free and ada -compliant, shuttle service to ensure the whole day through the cheap and accessible transport to and to the office,” said the memo. The bank also promised “improved” eating options.

Polaris' employees, who said with BI, said they were unimpressed by some of the solutions offered in the MountingMo, including the parking lot outside the location.

“The last thing I want to do after an entire working day is to stand with a group of my employees. I hope that there will be enough space in the next bus, drive my car in the shopping center for 10 minutes and then drive home,” said a product manager who commutes to Polaris for about 30 minutes. He said he would try to get to the office early to avoid the trouble.

In January, the CEO of JPMorgan, Jamie Dimon, described the bank's hybrid workers, who made less than 30% of their overall burden five days a week from March. The RTO period for employees of the office in Columbus was delayed to give the bank time to finish it.

“Our teams worked hard to ensure that our websites had the capacity and the amenities that employees had to go back to the office full -time,” said a spokesman for BI and added, “we have about 12,000 employees who work in Polaris.

Polaris, in which many tech employees are accommodated by the bank and the key to several of its cloud-focused initiatives, was built to accommodate around 12,000 employees. According to internal documents about the property checked by Business Insider, the location houses 13,601 employees with a total seat capacity of 11,930.

The JPMorgan spokesman said that the 13,000 number “engineers, service staff, security officers and other people who are not in the building every day”.

In the meantime, the employees continue to complain about what they feel as a lack of desks, parking spaces or conference rooms, including the employee group chats. In a recent chat, the employees discussed a document that seemed to describe how the bank could enforce its RTO mandate, as BI reported last week.

In addition to parking, the memo also promised improved eating opportunities such as a “new cooking table option”, “other guest restaurants in the atrium” and “an exciting new dining option on campus”, which later comes in autumn.

BI announced that two other employees based in Polaris announced that more restaurants will be decisive to ensure a smooth return, since the workers do not want to give up parking spaces or want to take the shuttle and take them off their cars. They found that one of the two cafeterias in Polaris has been closed for years.

“Lunch for lunch is no longer an option,” a software developer told BI.

Nevertheless, it was obtained that RTO was eaten in their productivity for five days with more dining options on campus.

“The complaint we really have is that lunch is of all 12 to 1,” said another technology worker. “At that time to go to lunch means that you are in line forever.”

The Polaris campus belongs to JPmorgan's largest with 2 million square meters. It was renovated in 2023 with the latest technology, including lights that, according to a JPM press release, automatically dark and water taps and flusers dark after the renovation. It is also the place of a leaked town hall with Jamie Dimon in February about the return of the bank to Office.

BI said Polaris worker that they also affect a potentially messy desk situation.

“All open seating without walls between you and the people who are sitting around them and may not even work in their department,” said the product manager. “Everyone is in their own zoo calls, which can be distracting when they try to put their heads and do work,” he added.

Workers who do not snap a desk is said that they should “simply register their own device in the atrium or conference center,” said the software engineer and added: “You are not prepared for this.”
