Undisciplined.

Jamie and others want their power back. They were the morons who implemented the covid policies, fired people over shots and masks. They can live with it

Regardless why do people care if you are producing results? Its purely a power thing. If Dimon cant get results out of remote employees then he sucks at his job

I’m all for this.

It’s called work. You need to go to it.

Problem is people have gotten too comfortable and soft

OMG! That's it! Oh wait you forgot...even after completing the new HQ JPM reported the highest profits in history in 2024 and the stock is up 59% in the last 12 months. When Jamie is mad my 401k balance is happy.

Then what's the problem?

Check your gig line, puss. 4:12, were you still at the office on TD, or were you posting in traffic?

Get on I-10 and dick around so you can stand around the coffee machine and bleat how much you like free coffee and other people's farts. I'll get my work done and talk to clients quick fast, and eat nachos if I feel like it, like I've done for 20 years.

JPM is finishing up building a 3 billion dollar headquarters building in NYC. He needs it to be staffed to justify that expenditure.

You should get in a job where you have objectively measurable production. It’ll fix that problem right quick.

What kind of BS career do you have?

He’s both right and wrong. I work in a bank. The older people are the ones who are most work from home. We have a high ranking executive who told them to frick off when they told him he had to return to office and they did nothing. Great for morale.

Banks are also treating workers like absolute dogshit right now and they’re openly trying to get people to leave without having to lay people off. They’re doing it by treating people extremely poorly

Lot of clowns in this thread that think they know more about running a business than Jamie Dimon.

Hilarious.

He kind of has a point with the people doing other shite during zoom meetings. If you're on a zoom meeting and you work from home, you should have your camera on and focused as if you were in the room with that person. That's just common courtesy and respect for your colleagues. Especially if you are on a call with the damn CEO of the company!

But, I agree with another poster who said, shitty employees will be shitty wherever they work from And good employees will be efficient at home or in the office. That's on you and your HR team to screen and hire better people. Then you wouldn't have a bunch of lazy people.

This is another factor, RTO mandates are acting as soft layoffs without having to pay severance or take the reputational and stock hits because people are leaving voluntarily.

I have been full remote since 2 years before Covid, and have never had issues with productivity and WFH - my manager has never had issue with it either.

and yes - I do get more work done at home than in office - but i am also a responsible adult and take my job seriously


I work from home too. I'm extremely productive. I have zero distractions and I'm not surrounded by a bunch of yammering co-workers.

This just tells me you don’t have a job with actual responsibilities and deliverables

For my job, you either are producing work or you aren’t. Whether you are working in the office or mars the results will either be there or it won’t when the deadlines come


What alot of folks don't realize is that if you work from home, your productivity is under more scrutiny. I may be working in my jammies right now, but my performance is eyeballed more than my peers who work out of the office.

Do they know you are posting on TD right now?

Nope, and they didn't know it when I was in the office.

Why were those positions filled in the first place then and what has changed to make them no longer necessary so that the bank is trying to eliminate the positions?

Poor planning by the banks in the first place?

I see this every day in conference rooms in person, and managers are the worst offenders. 20 people in a room and every single one staring at a phone or laptop half listening. Technology has made distraction the rule, not the exception, no matter the workplace. The thing is, some of them are doing more productive shite than what the meeting is about, and the company is better off letting them pull strings while one ear is on Brenda’s presentation.

That’s what makes this CEO’s tantrum so laughable. You’re the boss dude. Sign a policy today that all meetings are in person and no devices are allowed. Better yet, no company devices can leave the building, all work must be done on site and in working hours. shite would last about 10 mins before he learned the hard way he’s been benefitting from people being constantly plugged in and not hanging on every word of the bullshite DEI training session he’s forcing them to sit through.

Everyone overhired during Covid, esp. finance & tech.

Plus, despite what some of the idiots say here, Covid did in fact kill a lot of productive workers.
Combine that with an aging workforce that could afford to retire early, and did, and you had a worker shortage.

That's changing quickly.

Give me savings on gas/time in the car and a more productive work environment over going to the office to waste more time than I would at home. You got one life to live- spend it with your kids and family as much as possible. I see my kids so much more now after going fully remote.

I won’t be on my deathbed wishing I spent more time in the office like a good corporate soldier.

Career development working from home is worse than a child’s development when home schooled.


This only applies to specific roles.

I work with people all over the country, what difference does it make if I show up at an office to have calls with them vs. wherever I am at? It is ridiculous in our mandatory in office time to see people in their offices on Teams for the majority of the day.

Most workers don't need to sit at a table to collaborate, technology makes collaboration far more efficient than anything anyone can do in person, sorry, but it's true. You can call or text anyone, at any time, and collaborate in any document, anytime, anywhere. There's no finding a meeting room or setting up the tech in the room, the tech is where you are. Nobody shows up late because of traffic. Nobody watches the clock in the afternoon.

The world has moved on from offices, but some dinosaurs will fight to their last breath to protect it.

Should chemists work from home? Probably not.
Accountants? Sure.
Pipe fitters? Not so much.
Graphic designers. Yes.

A lot of companies will remember quickly how much it actually costs to have people in the building.
