JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon expressed concerns about hybrid work, stating, "I can't believe, when I come down here, the empty buildings. The people who work for you not going to the office. That bothers me. I don't allow that at JP[Morgan]." His comments reflect a broader discontent within the finance industry regarding remote work practices, advocating for a more in-person approach.
During The Atlantic Festival, Dimon jokingly noted, "Well, we know what he would do on day one as president," suggesting he would mandate a return to work. This playful remark highlights the serious stance he takes against remote working, emphasizing the importance he places on office attendance.
Currently, most D.C. federal employees are required to be in the office at least three days a week, similar to JPMorgan's policy. Dimon argues that a return to office work is necessary in the capital, reflecting a cultural standard in finance that opposes hybrid working models.
Dimon's critique aligns with Washington's mayor Muriel Bowser's directives for city workers to return to the office four days a week, indicating a trend within government and finance sectors leaning towards stricter return-to-office mandates amid a general preference for in-person collaboration.
