‘I thought this was a joke when I first saw it.’ – J.P. Morgan Opened Their New Headquarters And Went Viral Because Of A Dystopian-Looking Work Area For Employees

J.P. Morgan is one of the largest companies in the world, boasting thousands of employees around the world.
When they built a new headquarters, they wanted to make sure it was state-of-the-art, but one Tweet about it on X went viral for all the wrong reasons, prompting many TikTokers to make funny videos about it.
One TikToker put the tweet as the background, showing a huge room with desks that each have four monitors on them.
He then said, “I thought this was a joke when I first saw it, but it turns out that this is actually what the inside of the new J.P. Morgan Headquarters looks like.”
That is a crazy looking office space.

He goes on, “And it feels like a good time to remind people that the number of monitors at your desk is inversely proportional to your importance at your job.”
That’s a weird theory.

He explains, “You’ve never seen a CEO with four monitors at their desk. I drew this graph. I hope this helps illustrate this concept for some of you.”
Well, I can’t say that he is wrong, really.

And just to be fair, it has since come out that this is not for individuals to work all day, but it is a trading floor. They need lots of desks and monitors to monitor stocks, make trades, and do other things. The workers don’t sit at a given station all day, every day.
Still, I don’t think I would like to work there.
It is funny that the original Tweet came from Dell. You know they made a mint selling those monitors.

@newspeakmedia Everyone please congratulate JP Morgan on their new corporate headquarters. And a special congratulations to the lucky employees that get to work at these desks.
Read through the comments as well, they are good.

This person points out that it is a trading floor.

I think this commenter is correct.

I can’t imagine working like this either.

I want to see this area when it is filled with people.
It would be nuts!
