“We're not going to make that decision because we're pandering to employees”

Is there such a thing as “pandering to employees”? The employees are doing the real work to keep the company going, while Dimon’s work apparently includes appearing on news stations ridiculing said employees.

Hopefully the next headline we hear about J.P. Morgan will be a mass voluntary attrition.

His employees should take him up on that.

never had a good experience dealing with Chase, I guess leadership feels the same for the employees?

That's OK, I didn't have any desire to work for that asshole anyway...

Most folks are exponentially more productive when they don't have to waste hours of their day (stressfully) driving/public transit from A to B just to do their job.

Gee, I wonder how much he and JPMorgan are invested in commercial real estate.

I'm betting he is heavily invested in commercial real estate. Empty buildings means losing money.

the same management who wanted everyone to return to the office are the same people who are still joining Zoom calls from home.

The reality is that Jaime Dimon is out of touch. On last year's employee conference call, he was asked about return to office and how WFH has opened up significant flexibility for employees personal lives, specifically, children's doctors appointments. He responded that your nanny should be taking the kids to your kids doctor's appointments so you can work at the office.

Pay people for the commute.

And that's how you lose talent...

I don't mind visiting the office once in awhile, say 2 or 3 times a month. But to mandate it to every day is asinine. I'm never going back to wasting 3 hours a day sitting in a train/stuck in traffic.

Pay people during their commutes, they “clock in” as soon as they get into their cars and “clock out” only when they get home.

So he's going to limit his talent pool to people who both live within commuting distance and aren't good enough at their jobs to find remote work.

That's a bold choice.

Jamie Dimon can suck a turd, then.

Every billionaire is a policy failure.

Jamie Dimon (compensation 34.5 million 2022) says what?

I'm all for coming into the office, but I'm no longer commuting on my own dime. You want me in the office, for some messed up reason, my commute is on the clock.

Nobody should listen to billionaire boomer fucks.

Jamie Dimon can just fg ahead and make his millions without any employees, that will maximize his profits too.

My employer would beg to differ. Seeing as they pay my mortgage and not him, he is irrelevant.

I always raise an eyebrow when people generally claim remote "just does not work." This seems to imply they've only tried one or two ways to set up a remote workforce because there simply hasn't been enough time to honestly try several permutations.

I agree that some jobs cannot do it (those where physically it can't be done, like manufacturing or lab work). But with such a service-based economy, the number of jobs that can be remote is only increasing.

I think it's ultimately more a reflection of an unwillingness or inability to fundamentally restructure the way teams complete work and collaborate. It assumes the way offices work is objectively correct and must be maintained.

The managing challenges of remote work are just different than in-office; they are not more numerous. In-office environments are littered with ineffective, overbearing, and/or intrusive management styles. Management is always squawking that their workers need to be agile and adapt, but they are rarely willing to do the same.

I worked for JPMorgan Chase before and this doesn't surprise me one bit. Such a backasswards company that cares little for its customers or its employees. I will forever avoid doing any sort of business with Chase for as long as I live. Complete trash.

All the valuable employees: go to work somewhere else

Jamie Dimon: shocked Pikachu

I completely agree! See you never bucko
