JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon assaulted WFH with current Viral Audio recordings. The statement depicts the WFH defender.
Audio recordings denounce Jamie Dimon’s remote work have gone viral, with supporters and deniers from home resonating as well.
On Elon Musk’s social media platform X, some users praised the defense of JPMorgan Chase CEO for the bank’s five-day RTO requirements, originally posted online by Financial News Publication Barrons.
“I’m with Jamie,” Quentin Kasseh, CEO of Data and CEO of AI Company Syntaxia, posted to X, adding, “No breakthroughs like the Manhattan Project are built on Zoom Calls.”
Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman also cheered for Dimon. “He’s totally right,” Ackman posted to X, “We can all learn from him. We need to hear.”
The audio recordings obtained and confirmed by Business Insider have accumulated 1.7 million views and are relied on Tiktok alone. In it, Dimon uses multiple lets and anecdotes, as well as some laughs, to explain to the staff in the room why remote work is a loss for his company.
“A lot of you were on the fucking Zoom and you were doing the following,” Dimon said on the recording. Yours. ”
He made it clear that the bank’s Covid-era hybrid work policy is inflexible, which is expected to close in March.
“And don’t give me this shit that Friday work from home,” Dimon said. “I call a lot of people on Fridays, but no one is the terrible one you can get.”
As Business Insider reported in January, JPMorgan has brought all workers back to the office five days a week since March. Office duties affect less than 30% of bank employees, mainly back office workers, including high-tech staff.
Some viewers of the video used it as an opportunity to protect remote work.
“WFH is very good,” said one Tiktok user. “You can enter notes during meetings. There’s more energy from not commuting and overall it’s productive.”
“Newsflash, we’re doing those things in our office too,” another Tiktok user said.
Some have suggested that the real problem is the infinite flow of meaningless work meetings.
“Unnecessary meetings are a microcosm of inefficiency,” said one Tiktok user. “I can’t stand a seven-hour meeting that turns an eight-hour day into 12, so I can’t get anything done during those meetings.”
