A leaked internal memo shows that more JPMorgan employees are dissatisfied with company culture compared to last year — and the return-to-office mandate is to blame.
In JPMorgan's annual survey of company culture, which asks employees to assign a score to things like internal mobility, work-life balance, and health and well-being, fewer JPMorgan employees viewed their health and well-being as important to the company compared to last year.

In the survey, employees also reported lower scores compared to last year for work-life balance and internal career opportunities.
