JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon lashed out at employees who had been strongly advocating for the Wall Street giant to ease up on its five-day return-to-office policy.
"Don't waste time on it. I don't care how many people sign that f---ing petition," Dimon said when asked about the in-person work policy during a town hall meeting Wednesday, according to a recording reviewed by Reuters.
Dimon was referring to a petition that had been circulating among a group of workers opposed to the company's latest policy, which was requiring hybrid workers to come back to the office full-time.
The company told employees in January that its new policy would take effect in March, effectively dissolving its hybrid model. It ignited frustrations among certain staffers, causing 950 people to sign a petition to do away with the policy, according to Reuters. Still, that figure pales in comparison to the bank's global workforce, which totals more than 317,000 employees.
However, more than 60% of its employees were already in the office full-time even before this announcement.
JPMorgan declined to comment.
The rant was released in a leaked audio tape obtained by Barron's.
LiveNOW's Mike Pache spoke about the tape with Barron's senior writer Rebecca Ungarino.
