I can only think they're buying into the "any attention is good attention" concept, as lots of people are now talking about them. They have managed get several of the liberal and conservative voices on this forum to agree on something, which is an accomplishment in and of itself. Unfortunately for them we're all agreeing that they both morons and the last people on earth who should be providing advice of this type.

Deutsche Bank proposes a 5% tax for people still working from home after the pandemic
- Thread starter Banjo
- Start date
Since when do banks think it's their role to endorse a tax on wages? I would propose customers of this bank close their accts in revolt of this B.S..
I know some people that work at home after the pandemic & took some big pay cuts to be able to work from home.
Absolutely ....move all your money to CitiBank. They have quite a few branches there in Merkel-land.
....and ppl say Goldman should be broken up into pieces, if so then "Douche" Bank should be next in line.
I got exhausted; the term "King of the money launderers" is all encompassing and for the Putins, the Trumps, the Kim Jong-uns, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.. Hell, DB was front running the Danske Bank operations.
The Trumps did not launder money.
Well, nothing to worry about. Soon enough salaries of remote workers will be cut down. Why should someone who works in PJs from home get paid the same than another who shows up at work all else being equal? It's like saying that a teacher should get paid the same who teaches children over the internet than another one who actually makes the effort to show up in person to teach in-class. The claim that both provide the same service level quality is completely debunked. Tech companies currently push for remote work because it's all they get, better remote work than nobody showing up. Tech companies and all other corporates know full well that remote team work is never the same than a bunch of guys putting their brains together in the same room. Or has it not occurred to you why corporates have flown people all over the world for meetings for decades? You think corporates are stupid and could not figure out much earlier how much efficiencies are unlocked through remote work?
That's total bollocks. They are saying that the people who are not utilizing the infrastructure should be paying an extra fee to not use it, to somehow "help those who are forced to use the same infrastructure."
That's like making people who work at home pay the congestion tax for the people who are actually driving into London. Why don't the people who drive into London pay the charge? After all, before the pandemic, that is how it worked. You drive into London, YOU pay the tax.
It would be like telling people who work from home on Long Island to pay the bridge toll charges for the people who are commuting into New York City and beyond to work.
NO!
You honestly think anyone here on this site can even afford to qualify for a private banking account with Deutsche Bank? Lol. Let's perhaps start with Wells Fargo which has illegally opened thousands of fake bank and loan accounts and subscribed clients for services they never signed up for. Or GS who helped embezzled billions of dollars from the Malaysian sovereign wealth fund. Or HSBC which has since the opium wars not been up to any good ever? In light of the Angelo Saxon competition DB is an innocent child.

Sure, give them a 5% tax break right after cutting their salaries by 30% for the huge drop in efficiencies. Or why do you think there are huge backlogs in government work that needs to get done? Or corporate backlogs and every Schmuck using covid as an excuse why he still has not gotten his work done on time...
Deutsche Bank proposes a 5% tax for people still working from home after the pandemic
-That is totally dumb!! They should do the opposite - issuing a 5% tax break or 5% compensation for people who are still willing to work from home after the pandemic, relieving all the traffic jam, reducing CO2 emission, maintaining the quality of the roads, reducing the transmission of flu and other diseases, reducing and possibly eliminating rent for office space, allowing companies to take advantage of network infrastructure that's already in place, higher productivity in place of daily commutes...the number of benefits is just too numerous to name.
Many tech companies are having people working from home permanently and this idiot bank wants to punish people for working from home? Douche Bank indeed!!
Oh right, while GS, HSBC, JPM, Barclays, Wells Fargo, MS, and the rest of the bunch are clean as a whistle. Come on mate, they are all as dirty as it gets. In light of Goldman helping Greece bringing the entire EU down and helping to steal billions of dollars from Malaysia DB really does not even play in the same dirt league as GS and Co.
I think all of this is quite rich, considering the source: freaking Deutsche Bank. King of the money launderers, the LIBOR interest rate fixing scam, one of the ringleaders for packaging and selling toxic assets in 2008, Banker to terrorists and chronic violator of international terrorist economic sanctions, CO2 Emissions Certificates Trading Fraud, Bank executives who hire private investigators to harass journalists, and Banker to Jeffery Epstein and every despot on planet Earth. Oh, and Banker to the Nazis. Confiscated Jewish accounts and property in the 1930's. Took over all the banks in the conquered Countries and facilitated their looting. Financed the Auschwitz concentration camp (they finally admitted that in 1999 after decades of denying it).
Been fined more in the past decade alone than any other bank ever.
Hands down, the sleaziest most corrupt bank on planet earth.

Europeans have enough other banks to put their money. We don't need American banks. Especially since Trump took a very hostile attitude against Europe (and Russia, China and the rest of the world...). We will make Europe great again, not America. And certainly not if it would be lead by Trump.

we aren’t the target audience. Whoever put out that paper is trying to get conversations going with macro fund managers.
