JPMorgan Chase will require employees to return to the office five days a week starting in March 2025. CEO Jamie Dimon addressed over 1,300 employees who petitioned for a hybrid work policy, confirming that the return-to-office mandate will proceed. Employees raised concerns about the necessity of full-time in-office work, particularly after the bank reported record profits of $58.5 billion in 2024, indicating productivity remained strong with hybrid work arrangements. Dimon noted challenges associated with remote work, including decreased attention during virtual meetings and communication gaps, especially on Fridays. He encouraged employees to disregard the petition. Currently, approximately 60% of JPMorgan employees, including leadership, work in the office daily. The bank's strict policy aligns with similar mandates from companies like Amazon and Walmart, maintaining its position as the largest U.S. bank with $3.9 trillion in assets. Recently, JPMorgan laid off fewer than 1,000 workers.
