JPMorgan Chase, whose CEO Jamie Dimon has previously criticized remote work, is planning to require its employees to report to the office full time, according to a new report.
The bank, which employs more than 300,000 people worldwide, currently has a hybrid policy of requiring employee attendance three days a week. It plans to announce the new policy in the coming weeks, unnamed people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg Tuesday.
Managing directors at JPMorgan Chase have been required to report full time since April 2023, according to Business Insider. About 60% of JPMorgan Chase staff already go into work five days a week, according to Bloomberg.
With the move, the bank would join Goldman Sachs, AT&T, Amazon and Tesla in putting the kibosh on remote and hybrid work arrangements that were first adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mr. Dimon criticized remote work for government employees at The Atlantic’s 2024 Atlantic Festival.
“I can’t believe, when I come down here, the empty buildings. The people who work for you not going to the office. That bothers me. I don’t allow that,” Mr. Dimon said in September.
While JPMorgan Chase would join Goldman Sachs if the switch is made, other banks still have hybrid, including Citigroup and Capital One.
