World Cup prompts Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan to allow remote work

Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase are temporarily allowing employees to work remotely during the 2026 World Cup due to anticipated transit disruptions and street closures in New York and New Jersey. This marks a notable shift from their previous strict return-to-office policies, with CEOs like Jamie Dimon and David Solomon having previously expressed strong opposition to remote work. While other sectors like federal agencies and government workers are also adopting similar flexibility, Amazon is maintaining its in-office mandate, instead advising employees to commute earlier to avoid issues.
