JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon delivers a stern warning to remote workers::undefined
“I will not allow you to wreck my portfolio by causing a massive drop in demand for office space in the cities which will devalue my real estate assets and cause landlords to default en masse on the loans I made them.”
Why doesn’t he just say what he means ?
Capitalists gonna capitalize!
“I completely understand why someone doesn’t want to commute an hour and a half every day. Totally get it… Doesn’t mean they have to have a job here either.”
Then why hire people living 90 minutes away?
Sure limit yourself to workers living close by. But don’t give me any of that labor shortage bullshit then.
There is a shortage of people willing to work for the wage you’re offering at the terms you’re offering. There are millions of people choosing not to work for many, many employers right now. It will only get larger.
Depending on how old you are, understand, for the rest of your life, there will always be more jobs than employees, act like it and be brutal with your employers about it. The boomers were accelerating into retirement and then COVID exploded lots of employment norms, for good reasons.
Employers have been used to, for decades, lobbying to hire, fire and treat you disposable on a whim. Demand a lot, there are far fewer of you than there are of their boring companies to burn your life hours.

That idea has all kinds of problems. There’s a substantial amount of investment in education necessary and even then, immigration still doesn’t counteract population ageing/shrinking. If you can read or have any well developed skill, you have no business falling victim to fake fears like this.
No, they aren’t. If you’re so easily replaceable then you’re worthless anyway.
Everyone is easily replaced. You’re not some unique snowflake.
Skilled workers are not easily replaced. I am a programmer and we regularly have job postings open for over a year at my work.
I hate to break it to you, but that’s not for lack of skilled applicants. Companies leave those positions open so they can say they’re trying to hire, just so they get more work out of you.
Source: I manage about 110 engineers in a global company. We’re always 'hiring '.
So they’re wasting time I could spend actually programming so I can interview people they don’t plan on hiring, got it.
Oh, so you’re just an asshole then?

From what I am seeing does not seems true.
What I am seeing is that the more “intelligent” employer use the great replacement to get rid of unwanted people and WFH to attract good people that they could not normally have for a miriad of reasons.
(I am from Europe btw)
Jamie Dimon is a dipshit who brings practically nothing to the table. He shows up to the building, terrifies the people around him, pisses people off, shits in a waste basket and hires college interns to provide fresh blood infusions to treat his wrinkles.
Executives rarely bring genuine, functional value to a company, and that definitely includes Dimon. What a notorious fuckwit. JPMC is one example where the head could be cut off and the company would actually benefit from it.
Sounds like you worked there or know someone who does.
You are correct.
You can put a turd in an expensive suit, but in the end it’s still just Jamie Dimon.
“I’ll see you all dead before you move my commercial property portfolio one inch lower.”
“Old guy still doesn’t understand how anyone could be working if he can’t physically see them working”
Fully remote is the way of the future, in tech anyway. Use the money you saved on not renting office space to fly teams to the same area for a week or so a few times a year, there’s definite value in meeting, working together in person and going out for a beer afterwards. For short stints.
Otherwise, the lack of commute and the ability to focus uninterrupted for longer periods is massive advantage for remote work

But make it optional and don’t penalize folks for not showing up. The last thing I want to do is meet up with my coworkers and go for drinks especially given the fact that I do not drink alcohol nor enjoy social outings in general.

Fully remote is one of the ways of the future. A more reasonable approch is a mixed way.
I’m just going to leave this here… https://wallstreetonparade.com/12259-2/

We’ve got a stern warning of our own, Jamie.
Who now?
Makes no sense to die on this hill when AI is going to be taking over many of those office jobs anyways. Real-estate is about to get a reality check.
This is one of the reasons I keep telling my friends and those here who are worried about AI that AI is going to empower the individual, while at the same time making corporations less competitive and relevant. All you are seeing here from Jamie and others like him are their dealt throes and they are going to get worst before it gets better.
