Now, however, owners and managers of lenders and vendors across the nation are debating allowing employees to continue working from home, requesting everyone come back into the office, or some type of hybrid. Goldman Sachs, for one, has told U.S. employees to return to the office by mid-June and U.K. workers to return shortly thereafter. "We know from experience that our culture of collaboration, innovation and apprenticeship thrives when our people come together," according to an internal memo. Google expects 20 percent back in the office, with 60 percent in a hybrid model. Meanwhile, a segment of workers are embracing the “YOLO lifestyle.” “You Only Live Once.” And the beginning of seeing a post-pandemic world (whenever that is; see joke below) is already starting to cause people, especially Millennials, to question their current job/location/lifestyle. Many Millennials are either quitting their job or keen to quit in search of something else, leading to staffing headaches for some managers. Speaking of Millennials, the audio version of today’s commentary, presented by Robbie Chrisman, is available here. It is sponsored by Origence and features an interview with Roger Hull, Chief Product Officer, and Ray Jandga, Chief Technology Officer. Roger and Ray dive into the technological leaps made when developing the industry’s first truly single platform origination solution.
