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.
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.
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.
Unfortunately if that’s the mind set Americans have there might never be a tipping point
Awake the sleeping giant, look it up.
I’ve had it with this stuff,” Dimon said during the town hall, according to Barron’s. “I’ve been working seven days a goddamn week since COVID, and I come in, and—where is everybody else?
Let me make sure I understand this. You’re the chief executive of the world’s largest bank. You have vast resources and an army of other executives at your disposal. What exactly is so urgent that you have to work 7 days a week and why is that anyone else’s problem?
Wall Street treats Jamie Dimon like he’s some sort of guru but it sounds to me like he’s an fucking idiot whiney baby who doesn’t manage his time wisely or recognize that he got to where he is on the backs of his employees.
Yeah, a lot of this RTO business is some misguided perception that the wealthy work the hardest, and are thusly disproportionately compensated. They don’t realize how hard everyone around them needs to work to keep things moving and give them their lifestyle.
The workplace can feel like a prison for most workers trying to do their job, even if it’s what they like to do. For these CEOs and people at the top, it’s a space they built for themselves, of course they want to go to the office.
They will fight all challenges because of this. (Remote work, higher minimum wages, universal basic income)
Even if he works twice as much as one of his employees, which I do not concede, he is being paid 500 or 1,000 times as much. For that much money, I would expect nothing less than 24/7.
Genuinely, like, if this is true and not posturing, hire help. Delegate. Something! Don’t take out your frustration about your workload on me.
When I read Too Big To Fail, he came across as a massive dick.
Sounds like poor management to me
“I’ve been working seven days a goddamn week since COVID, and I come in, and—where is everybody else?
That’s a lie just like Elon Musk used to regularly tell. Then in the next interview Elon would talk about how he never missed any of his kid’s soccer games.
Dimon has 3 daughters. He hasn’t been working 7 days a week. He probably did it once and takes a few phone calls on the weekend and considers that “working 7 days”.
I work with a “high powered CEO”. These parasites treat golfing, going to dinner, flying on private jets as “working”.
I think this is only partly about the need to keep the value of commercial real estate inflated.
I think there’s a more fundamental psychological motivation.
The illusion that the C-suite actually contributes value sufficient to arguably justify their obscene salaries depends in large part on them sitting in offices at the top of a building full of workers.
If the building is not full of workers, that threatens the illusion.
Also, people with power often like to harm people that are less fortunate because they believe they deserve it: “If they were good people, they wouldn’t need to work for a living, because they’d be rich. Since they’re not rich, they must be bad people.”
I was legitimately shocked at the cartoonishly villainous shit I heard in my brief time at an investment firm. I swear to God this is a verbatim quote from a middle-aged, white, millionaire, Mormon investment adviser:
“There’s no excuse for any American not to be a millionaire, if they’d just stop buying their cigarettes and their dope for a few weeks.”
Hand to God. It’s so absurd that it sounds like a, “That man’s name was Albert Einstein. And then they all clapped.”-type story, but that place was fucking wild.
Finance bros are the OG of tech bros. I believe you.
fElon has proved CEO’s aren’t needed to run a company.
I genuinely fucking hate this shit. Like, for real. These fuckers want everyone in the office for the most bullshit reasons. They all have their reasons and they’re all bullshit. One I heard recently was “innovation happens in the office.” Innovation happens by ignoring the innovations that allow us to work remotely? By insisting we all waste massive amounts of time commuting? By wasting money renting huge office buildings in prime real estate locations?
Thing is, corporate ownership also owns a lot of commercial real estate. This push is entirely about saving that investment.
For companies like this, that’s true, but I see this push from tons of companies who don’t have a stake in that and just rent their office. Maybe it’s about saving the value on long term leases for them?
Another couple of reasons:
A) It gets people to quit, so the company doesn’t have to fire them
B) It selects for those who are loyal, allowing them to filter out those that are unwilling to be pushed around
Companies are dictatorships
Tell me JP Morgan is underwater on commercial real estate without telling me JP Morgan is underwater on commercial real estate
Well eliminating a self selecting group of disproportionately high performers certainly won’t hurt them long term.
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.
It is that easy if you try. If you didn’t develop any skills you deserve your lot.
