Wish the executives who go on these rants understood it doesn't make them look strong, it makes them look petty and weak. Exercising some tact takes effort and even skill. Throwing a fit makes them look like they're at the mercy of their employee's whims / can't handle feedback that they don't even have to abide by. Dimon is in charge right? Make whatever rule you want and roll on like an adult...

Hard to change at 68 years old. Longer life expectancy is a curse collectively when you consider rigid mental models and longer times to accumulate wealth and power, while having an emotional need to signal power and status. Jamie could say "We support flexible work as long as our performance targets are being met," but he cannot. "We trust our workers to do the best work where they want to work," but he does not trust his workers. It's just how he's wired. "Do what I say or else." You can't take the bully out of some people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_mind https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_mind

Listening to the audio, this wasn't some surreptitious hot mic recording, he was addressing employees about his frustrations at personally observing them fucking off in meetings and they were laughing. Somehow listening to his aggressive-but-disarming NYC style I can't help but agree with the guy.

  Yeah but if people aren't doing their jobs you coach them or get rid of them. Turning it into a situation where you blame the method and not the people abusing it just makes you look foolish.

>Make whatever rule you want and roll on like an adult This rant appears to be about why he's not reversing the rules on being five days in office, which is going into force in march, not about making new ones. Presumably he's fed up with being asked for more WFH. >Throwing a fit makes them look like they're at the mercy of their employee's whims It kind-of seems this way from the transcription, but from the recording it's more clear that he's light-heartedly speaking in a somewhat bombastic way to a laughing town hall audience.
