JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon has said it every which way now: He absolutely does not want his employees working from home. That “it doesn’t work for those who want to hustle. It doesn’t work for spontaneous idea generation. It doesn’t work for culture.” That “yes, people don’t like commuting, but so what.” That “I don’t know how you can be a leader and not be completely accessible to your people.”

But Dimon turned heads last week when he delivered his anti-remote-work stance yet again, just as the company prepares to end whatever remains of its hybrid work-from-home policies in March. It wasn’t what he said that made news — the substance was no surprise at this point — but instead how he said it.

In an internal townhall meeting in Columbus, Ohio, Dimon issued a profanity-laced screed against hybrid work and the company’s creeping bureaucracy. He railed against employees not paying attention on the “f**king Zoom.” He told his workers, “Don’t give me this s**t that work-from-home-Friday works,” that he calls lots of people on Fridays and “there’s not a go**amn person you can get a hold of.” He complained that he’s been “working seven days a go**amn week since Covid, and I come in, and, where is everybody else.”

Dimon’s personal brand has always been about being shrewd, candid, informed — and blunt. But this outburst prompted some listeners to label it as “uncouth,” “emotional” and “out of touch.”
