JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon Criticizes Remote Work Culture in Leaked Recording

Dimon condemns work-from-home practices, citing inefficiency and cultural damage, as JPMorgan enforces full office return.

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan, expressed frustration with remote work, calling out inefficiencies and disengagement during virtual meetings.
A leaked recording revealed Dimon's criticism of Gen Z employees, whom he accused of abusing work-from-home privileges and lacking focus on Fridays.
Dimon defended JPMorgan's recent mandate requiring all employees to return to the office five days a week, rejecting a petition signed by 13,000 staff members opposing the policy.
The CEO argued that in-person work is essential for fostering creativity, efficiency, and the development of younger employees, while criticizing excessive bureaucracy within the company.
An employee who publicly questioned the policy during a town hall was briefly dismissed but later reinstated, highlighting internal tensions over the mandate.
