JPMorganChase CEO Jamie Dimon said during a Wednesday town hall he didn’t care how many employees signed a petition to bring back hybrid work. The company in mid-January announced a 100% return-to-office mandate, which angered many employees, who argue the move “disproportionately” pushed out women, caregivers, senior employees, and employees with disabilities.
Let me make sure I understand this. You’re the chief executive of the world’s largest bank. You have vast resources and an army of other executives at your disposal. What exactly is so urgent that you have to work 7 days a week and why is that anyone else’s problem?
Wall Street treats Jamie Dimon like he’s some sort of guru but it sounds to me like he’s an fucking idiot whiney baby who doesn’t manage his time wisely or recognize that he got to where he is on the backs of his employees.
Genuinely, like, if this is true and not posturing, hire help. Delegate. Something! Don’t take out your frustration about your workload on me.
Even if he works twice as much as one of his employees, which I do not concede, he is being paid 500 or 1,000 times as much. For that much money, I would expect nothing less than 24/7.
That’s a lie just like Elon Musk used to regularly tell. Then in the next interview Elon would talk about how he never missed any of his kid’s soccer games.
Dimon has 3 daughters. He hasn’t been working 7 days a week. He probably did it once and takes a few phone calls on the weekend and considers that “working 7 days”.
I work with a “high powered CEO”. These parasites treat golfing, going to dinner, flying on private jets as “working”.
Why? I’ve had many choices that would’ve taken me down the “American Business person path of financial success!” There’s still options and temptations yearly to go down that would comfortably make me not worry about financial stress, but eventually someone always gets screwed over.
Just asking as someone who pushed that all away and I don’t seem to regret it, what keeps you going everyday to show up and work for them? My friends I know have to if they’re going to maintain their lifestyle, kinda a perpetual cycle and they know nothing else so it’s way too scary of a jump.
Jamie Dimon is a moronic, completely useless excuse for a human. Maybe he works seven days a week because his overwhelming incompetence means it takes him that long to complete what a competent individual would do in one or two days?
Or maybe his partner and family don’t want him around (or vice versa) and banish him to the office.
Either way, he is a very toxic person to be around.
Sounds like poor management to me
Yeah, a lot of this RTO business is some misguided perception that the wealthy work the hardest, and are thusly disproportionately compensated. They don’t realize how hard everyone around them needs to work to keep things moving and give them their lifestyle.
The workplace can feel like a prison for most workers trying to do their job, even if it’s what they like to do. For these CEOs and people at the top, it’s a space they built for themselves, of course they want to go to the office.
They will fight all challenges because of this. (Remote work, higher minimum wages, universal basic income)
When I read Too Big To Fail, he came across as a massive dick.
