JPMorgan Chase’s decision to enforce a full-time return-to-office policy has sparked employee backlash, leading the bank to disable comments on an internal webpage where the policy was announced, according to a report.

The move, which affects roughly 300,000 employees, was outlined in an internal memo on Friday, stating the requirement would take effect in March, with only a few exceptions.

The change, which was first reported by Bloomberg, primarily impacts back-office employees, such as call center workers, who had previously been allowed to work remotely two days a week.

More than half of the bank’s workforce, including senior managers and client-facing staff, were already working full-time from the office.

In response to the flood of reactions, the bank disabled the comment feature on the post, though the original announcement and some comments remain visible, according to the report.

One person close to the matter told the Wall Street Journal that JPMorgan frequently disables comments on posts that receive a high volume of engagement.
