Almost Friday! Dan DeFrancesco in NYC, and I'd like to give a warm welcome to the city's first-ever director of rodent mitigation, Kathleen Corradi. As a former elementary school teacher, Corradi is already well-versed in dealing with small pests.

Today, we've got stories on a frequent-flyer-like program for hourly workers, PE firms can't get enough of their own debt, and luxury hotels that won't break your bank. 

But first, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and come in tomorrow. M'kay?

1. The WFH party is over.

"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in."

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

JPMorgan told its employees Wednesday that its managing directors are required in the office five days a week, which might explain the screams you've been hearing throughout the tri-state area. 

Insider's Carter Johnson has got the full story, along with the internal memo announcing the news.

The decision comes roughly six weeks before Memorial Day. That's just in time to destroy plans bankers had for extended weekends in the Hamptons over the summer. (Don't worry, the Long Island Expressway tends to really open up on Fridays after work during the summer.)

The announcement also marks the end of the work-from-home era on Wall Street. It's true JPMorgan's policy applies only to MDs. But do you think execs will be OK with their subordinates working remote while they are stuck in the office? 

"Honestly, Greg, get a headstart on your weekend plans. I enjoy coming into midtown on a Friday in August!"

It's easy to see how other banks will follow in JPMorgan's footsteps. Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan's CEO, has been vocal about his distaste for remote work, but he's certainly not alone. Plenty of others, most notably Goldman Sachs' David Solomon, have touted the importance of being in the office (blah blah mentorship model blah blah). Now JPMorgan just laid the blueprint for everyone else to force their own employees back in.

I'd like to think that at least one big bank might view this as opportunity break from the herd (and maybe scoop up talent). Maintaining a hybrid model might serve as a recruiting tool for pissed-off bankers fed up with the in-office policy.

But as a colleague pointed out to me, Wall Street is famous for its groupthink. And when the largest bank in the US pulls everyone back into the office, you can bet the rest will probably follow. 

So keep the banker in your life in your Ts and Ps... and enjoy an easier commute to your beach house on Thursday night. 

Here are more details, including the internal memo, on JPMorgan forcing MDs back into the office.
