More investment bankers head back to the office

JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) asked that 50% of its investment bankers based in New York and London work from the firm’s offices on any given workday, Bloomberg reports, citing a person familiar with the matter.

That’s up from the 25% level it had set previously.

The increase starts today in London and tomorrow in New York, the person told Bloomberg News.

The bankers will work from home or the office on alternating weeks, according to the plan.
