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.
Preach. Same. Terrible company to work for and they dont give a shit about its consumers.
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.
Oh, alright. That’s pretty much what I’ve been doing. Is he expecting the people do back down on idiotic threats? I’ve been on the job hunt for pretty much exactly 19 minutes before I’ve got a call from HR of my new company and two meetings later they were happy to give me a remote first contract. At least where I am it’s not hard to get a good paying job from home if you’ve got some experience. My colleague had a harsher time because she was just getting into development, but it was not like she had to hunt for long.
I completely agree! See you never bucko
never had a good experience dealing with Chase, I guess leadership feels the same for the employees?
That vast majority of their former employees that I’ve spoken to feel the same way

They say the fish stinks from the head. Jamie Dimon is your typical corporate CEO asshole. I wouldn’t expect any different.
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.
Yeah but have you thought about this Boomer’s CRE clients/friends? What about his origination business?
You are insensitive… why do you hate freedom and holy profit of another man who works very hard for every penny.
I am way more productive when I’m not also being constantly interrupted by the people around me all day long. When I sit down to work at home I will go hours without even looking up from my screen. When my attention is interrupted in the office, which happens regularly, it takes me a good 5-7min to focus again. Repeat that same process a couple times an hour and not a lot gets done.
I can’t believe how much time I waste in the office. It’s unbelievable. I will say that certain meetings in the office are better. However, maybe a day or so for those but for the most part. It’s such a waste.
Jamie Dimon can suck a turd, then.
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.
I bet he said this from an “off-site” and hasn’t been in the office in weeks

It is july?
Prime summer holiday month, at least where i live.
Gee, I wonder how much he and JPMorgan are invested in commercial real estate.
Ill give you a hint: JPMC owns one of the largest buildings in the United States, second only to the Pentagon. Their Columbus location is a multi-mile long, 6 story, repurposed Mall. And thats just one of 8 Non-Branch locations they use in Columbus.
I know dozens of people who work there. Most hate it
Parking is atrocious and you have to walk like 10 minutes from your spot to the building. And then I’m the building another 5 to your office
Oh and you thought you were leaving at 5? It’s a 30 minute commute just from the parking lot to the first street because of the traffic
Hang on!
If it was a shopping mall, surely it had really good parking. Why does everyone go to shopping malls instead of town centres? It easy to park!
They must have actively tried to break it!
It’s mostly due to the sheer amount of people who work in the building. The building holds over 10k employees. Problem is, everyone wants to park near their office space so they dont have to walk a mile or two to get to the other side of the building. So it gets cluttered very quickly around key lots.
Also, there’s no parking garages. It was a flat lot until a few yesra ago. Now its a flat lot with a second story.
Shopping malls tend to have choke points where the rapidly flowing road traffic transitions to more random car park traffic. Not a problem if a few thousand people are coming and going as they please throughout the day but thousands of people arriving together at 9:00 and leaving together at 17:00… they’re just not designed for that sort of thing.
Lol. So accurate. The streets to I70 are fucked, then you get on I70 and its backed up all the way to 270. Awful lmao.
Know what’s a good idea? Taking the two most important freeways in the city and having their on and off ramps overlap, and it’s for only 200 feet total. Won’t cause any traffic
… and car manufacturers, and oil companies, and tire companies, and the fast food franchises lining every freeway exit…
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.
Same for me getting ready in the morning. You want me to look presentable when I come in? I’m clocking in while I shower. And I take LONG showers.
/s
Do you… not shower normally? Like a job has to force you?
Please stay at home.
My job requires me to come in twice a week. You bet your ass I clock in as soon as my head rolls off the pillow on those days.
Pay people for the commute.
And for the commute time, regular pay
I would honestly rather have the time
I’m sick of these fucking old white CEO’s being out of touch. People want and need flexibility and go out of their way to find it. I personally prefer going into the office, I’m more productive that way even though my entire team is remote. People just want the option and they want to be treated like the adults that they are. Companies just need to offer it, and if it doesn’t work out for whatever reason or they can’t act like an adult, then get rid of the employee. Not a hard system.
All the valuable employees: go to work somewhere else
Jamie Dimon: shocked Pikachu
I’m betting he is heavily invested in commercial real estate. Empty buildings means losing money.
Almost certainly. Just like the office furniture company that put out this anti-WFH “news article”.
I should have stopped after reading it was the NYPost. But jfc what a load of massive bullshit
Seems to be a common theme among office furniture companies, get a load of this bitch
Jesus Christ - if she would have left the last minute of that out, it could have been very motivational. Instead…yeeeeshhh
Yeah, she caught a ton of flak for it online, and then gave a total non-apology that basically boiled down to an officespeak version of “sorry you’re so sensitive”
A lot of furniture companies sell to other companies, office equipment etc
Its super expensive(overpriced) and if nobody uses offices anymore they will go out of business.
Herman miller chairs? I mean, theyre great but not a lot of orivate cotizens buy them.
