[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can work from home and have more responsibility. What don't you understand about that.

You don't nee to be in an office to manage people. You also don't need to be on camera (Zoom, Teams) to manage people.

Outside of ownership, I am top of the totem pole at a company with 35 people in a production facility, 6 remote "corporate staff", 22 sales people and 4 person technical team spread around the country. I see some of them in person once or twice a year, a majority of them I never see.  No meeting with cameras on unless they are client facing.

Why do you feel these things can only be accomplished in person?

Jamie Dimon is an angry dinosaur.  He's an incredibly rich and powerful man who whines that when he is working he can't find anybody to respond to him/people slacking and not available to him, etc.  Many complaints and quotes to that effect.

I work somewhere corporate that allows fully remote jobs at times and 3 days a week RTO. Any of our ordinary directors ($200K-ish employees) would receive better service than Jamie Dimon.

My conclusion is that Dimon is either lying, bullshitting to communicate his unhappiness, or he is such a 24/7 PITA that his ecosystem of reports avoids him/deliberately does not reply to him as a containment/control strategy.

My basic low-level peon take is that he's probably an a$$ to his direct reports, they use containment strategies, and he doesn't replace them because they are either good or he can't do better.[/quote]

200K has not been a good salary on Wall Street or Chase since the early 1990s. Just look at Chases or Goldmans quarterly financials. today. The cut off for SS withdrawals is $176,000. If you look closely only the first quarter financials show a large amount of social security payments at Chase or Goldman. Meaning tons of tons of employees have already earned $176,000 by end of March.

People in DC dont really understand pay in NYC in financial services.

So survey says people want to make 500k a year, never come to office, have flex and want promotions. Thanks I will get right on that.      [/quote]

PP.  My intent by mentioning $200K was not a Wall Street or NYC pay reference. My point was that much lower-paid medium-level (not C-Suite) execs in an uncool F500 industry in flyover country are getting better service from their WFH 2 days a week and remote employees than Jamie Dimon claims he is getting.  At his enormous pay level and with control over some of America's supposed brightest and highest-paid corporate employees.  So much whining about how he can't find anybody to talk to or collaborate with on Friday.  It's almost unbelievable.  Like his employees won't stop sipping their slushy drinks on the patio of their vacation home to take a call from Jamie fricking Dimon?  Like he can't ask his managers to come in every Friday and they would grudgingly agree?  Like he can't manage based on goal completion?

It seems like every time he's in the news, it's just whining about how the old ways were better.  I suspect his employees don't like him.  I think most people who entered the workforce before Covid are perfectly well aware that if you want to make the big bucks, you keep the top boss happy and work aligned to the top boss's preference.  Why is he one of the leading crusty advocates of going backwards?  He doesn't believe people can think while taking one of these oft-referred to dogs walking breaks?[/quote]

+1. The irony about Dimon complaining that he can’t get a hold of people is that the people he would be trying to talk to are all other C-suite execs or MDs. And this is why he can’t do that much about it and complains so much. Those people can find another senior/executive level job without problem.

If it were just an issue of juniors not coming in, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.[/quote]
