“#get back to the office<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Morgan Stanley doesn\u2019t just want its own employees back in the office. It also wants employees of the companies it works with back in the office.<\/p>\n

In a memo sent last week, the Wall Street giant\u2019s chief legal officer Eric Grossman urged a slew of white-shoe law firms the company works with to bring their attorneys back for in-person meetings, The Post has confirmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel the need to sound a warning in light of what I have general<\/a>ly observed about the lack of urgency to return lawyers to the office,\u201d Grossman said in the letter. \u201cI firmly believe that the most productive meetings are those in person, and as we are already largely back in the office at Morgan Stanley, it is now clear to me that a hybrid meeting of live participants and Zoom participants is challenging at best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morgan Stanley sent the missive to some of the top law firms it retains including Paul Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison; Davis Polk; & Wardwell; and Shearman and Sterling.<\/p>\n

Last week, Morgan Stanley boss James Gorman doubled down on his\u00a0stance against working from home, saying there\u2019s no substitute for schlepping into the office and toiling with colleagues in person.<\/p>\n

\u201cI fundamentally believe the way you and I develop our career is by being mentored and by watching and experiencing the professional skills of those who came before us,\u201d the Wall Street mogul told analysts on the bank\u2019s second quarter earnings call.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t do that sitting at home by yourself, there\u2019s a limit to Zoom technology<\/a>,\u201d Gorman added, asked whether he will allow employees to work from home.<\/p>\n

Morgan Stanley\u2019s hard-charging chief executive \u2014 who last month told employees, \u201cIf you can go into a restaurant in New York City, you can come into the office\u201d \u2014 has told staff if they don\u2019t return to the office by Labor Day, they could face a pay cut.<\/p>\n

Gorman also earlier\u00a0slammed Zoom\u00a0in an effort to encourage face-to-face meetings with clients, as The Post previously reported.<\/p>\n

But Morgan Stanley\u2019s top boss also seemed to soften his stance slightly on last week\u2019s call. He explained while he expected most people to work in the office, he would also allow employees flexibility moving forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor some people the flexibility makes great sense,\u201d Gorman said. \u201cWhen they have health issues or are looking out for family members for a few months we can manage that.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
