I'll play devil's advocate because I have the karma to burn.
I don't remember Dimon ever committing to making work-from-home permanent. From my brief time working with/interviewing for JPMChase, I never got the impression that they would ever do this. They were always very attached to their offices.
If this is true, then I think it's totally within his right to call it back.
It would be a whole other thing if he pulled a Sundar and said "wfh really works! wfh forever" in 2021 when vaccines were being rolled out only to cry "but my efficiency" in 2025 and roll it all back.
I also don't think Chase is going to lose much of their top talent over this. Most of the super highly paid/highly-talented people in tech that work there live near their central offices anyway, and the folks that worked for the business never really had a choice since finance is very tightly coupled to a few geos (NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, Houston for O&G, London, Hong Kong).
