Obviously have no evidence for this, but the cynical side of me thinks that this bank wants to destroy working from home in order to keep people going into the office so that companies keep paying for office space. That way banks with holdings in property, property insurance, mortgages, etc. don’t lose money on their investments.

There is close to zero chance a bank, the pinnacle of capitalist institutions, supports such an inherently socialist proposal such as wealth redistribution.




Banks are almost government entities. They are far away from "pinnacle of capitalism".


Privately owned banks, which encompasses all banks in the western world, bar central banks, are the primary creators of money supply. I think that counts as a pinnacle of the capitalist system.
