On JPMorgan's new headquarters - $3bn, 60-storey, 2.5mn square-foot skyscraper with biometric scanners to enter the building and a 19-restaurant food court. But only 10k of the 17.5k employees in Manhattan make the cut for a desk. Harsh on those that don't. www.ft.com/content/e9f8...

I like how mainstream finance is at the boiler room "desks are for closers" stage.

They work at one of the other offices. Not earth shattering.

Was it our last chance? Toward a United Popular Front of the 99% @notmeallofus.bsky.social

Creating the dystopian and cold-hearted future of finance capitalism where the select few are rewarded and the masses live and die at the pleasure of corporate masters ever since Sir John Houblon and Humphry Morice began bankrolling immiseration, slavery, and bloody empire.

The largesse of the 1% needs to be reeled in. Money taken from the rest of us is used to build these castles. This shit is what pisses off the 99%.

No wonder Jamie's so against WFH. Gotta recoup that shitty investment.

Well with 7,500 more employees than desks that would appear to have inadvertently set up hybrid working 😂

Huh, it looks like they're pretty committed to WFH (unless RTO means sitting in the cafeteria with a laptop lol)

Yep, it's interesting that despite his billionaire bluster, the guys who do building space planning didn't go that route (more building costs more money and even for this bonfire of the Benjamins, they apparently have limits.)
