JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has dismissed employee requests for a more flexible work model, reaffirming the company’s decision to mandate a five-day return-to-office policy. Despite a petition from over 1,200 workers, Dimon remained firm, criticising remote work for harming productivity. The decision comes amid upcoming job cuts as part of the company’s downsizing plans. Dimon’s direct, often colourful language has made him a controversial figure, but his leadership remains unapologetically assertive as JPMorgan navigates these changes.
