JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has rejected calls from employees for a more flexible work policy, insisting on a strict five-day return to office. In a recent town hall, Dimon dismissed an employee petition against this policy, emphasizing the need for efficiency and the importance of in-person work for productivity. He expressed frustration with current operational inefficiencies and is pushing for a 10% increase in departmental effectiveness. Despite pushback from employees, JPMorgan continues to perform strongly, having seen record profits last year.
