Jamie Dimon says employees can go work somewhere else if they don't like long commutes into the office, thinks remote work doesn't cut it

Dimon says he's not opposed to remote work if it works, but "if it doesn't work, I don't mind getting rid of it."

There’s more nuance to what he said if people take time to read the article. I’m a huge fan of working from home, but it has drawbacks. One that Jamie notes is that a lack of office environment is terrible for someone starting their career, which is true.
I assure you, JPMC office environments, as they currently are used, are useless. They're making everyone operate as though we work from home, while in office. We still use Zoom for everything... 40 feet away from eachother. Its as stupid as it sounds.
Do people meet in meeting rooms as well or it’s all just Zoom?
All Zoom. All the time. Nobody uses the meeting rooms anymore unless they're for 1 on 1 conversations that cant be held on the floor.
Ouch, yeah that defeats the purpose
And usually you go into a meeting room with a few others to do a video call with someone. Why not just do it from home?
I think that’s ok? People are in different offices, but as long as you can also work with the local people..
I’m a fan of hybrid, with like 4/5 days at home, assuming people aren’t heavily distracted at home.
You aren't going to get people who will be willing to accept that anything but full WFH would be good here.
