Gen Z | 'Can't learn working from your basement' - JPMorgan boss Dimon continues RTO tirade

Just in case you weren’t quite sure where he stood on the matter, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has once again reaffirmed his belief in the return-to-office (RTO).

The chief executive controversially called his staff back to the office five days a week earlier this year, addressing the journey in an interview with Bloomberg last week.

According to Dimon, the model is helping JPMorgan’s Gen Z staff get up to speed – “you can’t learn working from your basement,” he said – and has not led to any notable attrition at the Wall Street firm.

In March, JPMorgan Chase’s controversial return-to-office finally came into effect, after weeks of back and forth between disgruntled employees and an insistent executive team.
