[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are people really working hard at home? I think issue is in Govt jobs you only work a set hourly work week if in the office or at home.

But at JP Morgan, Goldman etc. work in the office is often 8 am to 7pm barely a break, no lunch, no running out to bus stop, no throwing clothes in washing machine. So it is 11 hours productive every day. And in those jobs on commute in and commute home they are reading and responding to emails at least one more hour. So really 60 hours a week of work.

At home never going to happen to get 60 hours a person work out. In govt with timesheets sure it is 40 either way  [/quote]

And how much are people at JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs making? Apples to oranges.

My husband took a significant pay cut to leave private to have more work/life balance and worked from home 3 days a week to be more present for our children. This was 9 years ago so obviously pre-Covid.[/quote]

True but to be honest even low paid people work like that at Chase and Goldman.  They used to be called "Grunts or Clerks" years ago. When I was a at that level I used to work from 8-8 most days when busy for very little pay and no OT. I recall my boss saying if all the staff work at least 50 hours we need 25 percent less staff. So making less actually means you work More hours not less at the big banks. You paying your dues. Same as Big 4 etc. The staff during tax season work like Dogs more than the Partners.

In the coporate world you move up to have more work life balance at a lot of firms. Not move down.
