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.
Jamie Dimon, grandson of Greek immigrants who had cancer, an aortic dissection (stress?), and returned to work in a remote capacity after surgery due to Covid?
That Jamie Dimon?
You know, there’s a lot going on in the world, and for me, it’s hard giving a damn about people who’ve decided JPMorganChase is the career they want.
People have to eat. I work for an evil corporation, so I try not to be too good at my job, but just good enough to keep collecting a check
You could find ethical ways to make money. It’s not hard or impossible. The vast majority of everyone else on the planet seems to have found a way.
Grow a conscious or some balls. Preferably both.
Truly spoken like you have no fucking idea what you’re talking about at all.
About getting a fucking job? Lol. Everyone who works at an immoral company is 100% complicit with every action their company takes. If you don’t like it, leave. If there’s no other jobs you have to move. Welcome to how the world works.
Moving is so easy and inexpensive yep
You’re either a bad troll or a rich kid who has no idea what being poor is like
Lie more.
I’ve been homeless and grew up with a can of beans feeding 3. You have to move to find the work. Expecting everything to fall in your lap with no effort is lazy and entitled. You’re the type of person that stays poor.
I think one can easily argue capitalism is unethical, as it is based on extraction and exploitation, and has a non-democratic power structure. So that eliminates most jobs in the West as being ethical.
Ahkshully… Everything is bad so checkmate
What a big brain take. Everyone bad. Thanks for the Reddit level insight.
It is that easy if you try. If you didn’t develop any skills you deserve your lot.
This is one case where I feel no sorrow. People who pursue their BBA/MBA are the worst and try to network themselves up to heaven. They chose this path knowing just how fickle it could be.
Other RTO, yeah, screw the person at top.
If you don’t care, then you might find you also don’t have any employees anymore pretty soon. Hmm, where’d all my employees go…
Then complain no one wants to work
Everyone who is forced to go back should probably spend a bit of time on this site - https://specificsuggestions.com/share/EN/881.html
Slow things down, make it hurt for them. Not enough to get fired, but if everyone does it, it will affect the bottom line.
Time for them all to get new jobs with a competitor. Be sure to get remote work guaranteed in writing.
If you have a Chase account, the best time to close it was 20 years ago.
The second best time is right this very second.
Even ignoring this story, with the collapse of the CFPB, you are about to get screwed harder than you can even imagine.
Some More News did an excellent piece earlier this week on why “return to office” is a thing now. https://youtu.be/-JQKYzcmhyQ?si=Q8QR9p_RilA2JNRd
I keep wondering how much more CEOs, billionaires and massive corporations (along with the current administration) can push the American people before there is a backlash?
Right now Americans are like domestic violence victims and addicts
“Jamie is a good person, it was my fault for not coming back to the office that made things worse.”
“Just one more subscription, I need to watch my shows!, I promise I’ll quite after this season!”
When and what is the tipping point where people just say “Fuck it, I’m done.” ?
Society is always about three missed meals away from blood in the streets.
This sort of backlash won’t happen, though. There is a conservative culture war underway and it’s win at all costs, damn the consequences. These are people who will continue to act against their own self interest.
Unfortunately if that’s the mind set Americans have there might never be a tipping point
Awake the sleeping giant, look it up.
Democracy! (but not in the workplace where you spend most of your awake time)
Companies are dictatorships
Another name for the list, it seems.
Which list? I’m on a bunch by now
That would be the CEO list.
Tell me JP Morgan is underwater on commercial real estate without telling me JP Morgan is underwater on commercial real estate
This is the true answer. Yes, there is some boomer powerplay aspect, but he is not stupid, he’s all about making more money.
His rich and powerful investor “friends” are bleeding money on commercial real estate (and maybe on related investments like downtown coffee shops), they put a lot of pressure on him. I go even further, it is not a coincidence that more companies started pushing for full time RTO at the same time, this is orchestrated or at least encouraged from behind the scenes by the elite, probably also involving some politicians (who are also neck deep in commercial RE).
Still, it is absolutely stupid and short sighted. I live close to my office, so I like to go in a few times a week, but I would never want to be there full time again.
Well eliminating a self selecting group of disproportionately high performers certainly won’t hurt them long term.
That phrase is about to be much more literal if these people get their way
Edit: BTW I love your username, were you inspired by Semi Hemi Lemmygod? They’re both hilarious. I think the art of choosing a good name for something is underappreciated.
Same person, just changed the display name :). Glad you like it!
I think you misspelled his last name, it should be Jamie Demon.
That’s a healthy organization: one that doesn’t listen to the people that actually do all the work! I will refuse anything to do with JPMorgan going forward…
Hey Jaime, you wouldn’t have to have a giant portfolio full of office buildings by chance, would you?
CEOs and upper management people are acting like children these days. They just want to implement things they don’t understand the consequences of, yet when they get any kind of resistance they lose their shit. I’m just dumbfounded by this behavior because it makes me wonder what could happen if these people were replaced with people who actually care about the work itself and the quality of it. Y’know, the whole reason we have workplaces.
Shareholder revolt, honestly. The rich shareholders benefit from these sorts of idiots, at least in the short term.
It’s because they’ve been too insulated from the violence that used to be incumbent in the wake of such asinine and harmful labor decisions. The decorum of the last 50 years has led these Boomers to think they are invulnerable.
