Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan pushed hard for a 5-day-a-week return to office. Why they’re now letting employees work from home

Major financial firms like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase, who were once strict about employees returning to the office five days a week, have now made an exception for the World Cup. Amid intense pressure from employees and the unique demands of following global soccer matches, these companies are letting staff work from home on game days. This shift highlights the growing influence of employee preferences and the flexibility needed to accommodate major global events, signaling a potential broader change in workplace culture.
