The next couple weeks, banks are returning staff to offices due to the diminishing case count. However, crime in NYC has been on the rise, with a particular focus towards the subway. Will analysts / associates push back against the office return due to heightened crime levels / safety concerns?
Note: I'm looking for any excuse to not go back into the office.

Tell your boss you have developed a phobia of using public restrooms. Demand a private washroom.
love this post! haha thinking the same here. i actually feel like it's a legitimate concern, even more so for asians...(asian hate crime). anyone ever brought it up?
I feel the same way. I think this is pretty common and I’m not sure if anyone is taking any aciton
The likelyhood of being violentally attacked on your way to and from your office, while traveling on a busy subway, or via Uber if it's late at night and your firm comps that, is very very low. Stop being soft. I get that you don't want to go into the office but continually asserting that manhattan is dangerous, especially midtown is just some absolutely soft shit. Grow a spine.
Deadass, this generation be so soft
It doesn't mean there isn't a problem. NYC's light stance on crime, and abundance of mentally sick lingering around the city and subway has created a problem.
Tell the asian woman who was pushed in front of a train and killed that she's soft..

If you're really worried just always carry like mace around or something? I dunno.
Even better, carry a mace around with you. Nobody gonna mess with a guy in a suit armed with a medieval weapon.

The probability of you dying after being pushed on to the subway tracks is, most likely, lower than the probability of you dying in a car crash.
how are the subways now? am genuinely scared as someone who is not native american
Depends on your group.
There were 7 associates when I joined a year or so ago. Now there are two, so I, personally, can. (push back)
Honestly, nobody in my group wants to come in.
