Goldman Sachs Backtracks on Return-to-Office Plan

Goldman Sachs initially pushed for a quick return to office in New York and London, but due to a surge in COVID-19 cases, they allowed remote work until mid-January. Employees must be vaccinated to return. This shift follows similar moves by other banks like JP Morgan and Citigroup. Despite the pandemic, banks have thrived with remote work, delivering record results and planning significant bonus increases.
