I don’t feel safe commuting to work in NYC
I’m disappointed, but not surprised, that no banks have addressed the current violence across NYC.
I believe banks should start paying for our Ubers to and from the office. I frankly think it’s immoral for the BBs to demand people in office and yet ignore the fact that commuting in NYC is only getting more dangerous.
I would love to hear more thoughts on this. I know it’s a long shot, but maybe some noise from junior bankers is what we need to make this happen.
Dude shut up. Yes I know there were no black or homeless people in your Connecticut enclave growing up, but I promise you will be okay. Use literally just an ounce of street smarts and you will be perfectly fine.
Pretty callous take, and a dumb one at that. Do you think Daniel Enriquez (of GS) was just going about provoking crazies on the Q train? A dude literally just walked up to him and blasted a hole in his chest. Same with Michelle Go. Ironically in her free time she spent helping low income New Yorkers with NYJL. You saying she deserved being pushed on the tracks because she didn't use enough street smarts?
I grew up lower middle class and didn't let my family walk anywhere alone when they were visiting me in the city. Crime is absolutely a fuckin problem on MTA right now. Reasons why the streets are clogged with taxis and ubers.
yes, their deaths were tragic and the people responsible for them should be in prison for the rest of their lives, but a sample size of 2 in a city of millions is statistically insignificant. In 99.999% of circumstances my aforementioned advice is sufficient.
You’re exponentially more likely to have a deadly car accident than get attacked by a stranger. Imagine if there was a newspaper article everytime someone died in the car… people need to stop being so naive and ignorant.

You need to sack up. This is a ridiculous post. What's happened to a few people is unfortunate but your anxiety over it is a reflection on you vs. what's going on out there. 1) Don't live in Brooklyn 2) Use common sense 3) Live in a nicer neighborhood if you are still worried
The trend of crime against Asian people is pretty concerning to me as an Asian but doesn't mean I'm scared to go to work.
OP isn't scared to go to work dickhead, they just want banks to be more accountable. If they're going to force people to come in when WFH is just as viable an option, expensing Ubers to work is the least they can do.
Nah let’s just go virtual so I can collect a NYC salary and live in my hometown
All employers owe their employees a safe commute
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! What planet do you live on dude?
The company pays you cash. You decide how to get to work and how much to spend and whether that is worth it relative to the compensation. Real simple man.
Do they need to provide you with lunch as well or do you think that you can handle that? Welcome to becoming an adult!!
You sound bitch made. Carry a rape whistle if you’re that scared
Goddamn pussy. Where do they find bitches like you at? Rinse the sand out of your vagina and stop being a paranoid weirdo. What kind of man is scared to go to the office?
Edit: ignore the vulgar commentary above. Thought you were a dude and was trying to emasculate you the best I could. Don't think its my place to speak on the experience of a "small girl" as you described it since I'm not a "small girl."

You get paid $200k-$250k. Take your own Uber. Just like if you were in Houston you could decide to ride the bus or spend money to buy a used BMW
This is honestly what happens when blacks are let loose after defunding the police because of "muh BLM". Vote Republican in 2024 for law and order, they always turn things around and be tough on crime.
Be careful not to fall for the news' over-sensationalizing of 1 or 2 cases as a broad indicator of where crime is vs. where it was in the past. To ease your mind, take a look at the below link. The actual crime stats by year of the city, especially looking at the Manhattan precincts. Crime is ticking up in some places, ticking down in others. But more importantly, the numbers aren't dramatically higher than previous years (e.g., 2010-2019 averages) to warrant this much concern. In other words, if you are concerned about your safety in 2022, then why weren't you concerned living in NYC in previous years? It wasn't like the city was super-safe pre-COVID. I lived in Manhattan 2018-2020 as an Analyst and was chased by a crazy once and almost robbed outside my building another time. Someone got stabbed by a homeless inside their building on 46th street about a week after I moved in during August/September 2018. It's the city, brother, that's what happens in the city. Don't let that get to your head. Just be street smart and keep an eye out. You'll be fine.
