JPMorgan CEO warns young employees about in-office work Hillary Remy Mon, June 22, 2026 at 10:40 PM GMT+7 4 min read Jamie Dimon has run JPMorgan Chase for 20 years. At the Hill and Valley Forum in June, during a session called "Wealth, Power, and the Next American Century," he sat down with a room full of tech and policy leaders and said what he has been saying for a while now, only in sharper fashion.
His message was aimed at younger workers. Working remotely while still early in a career is a mistake, Dimon said at the forum. The gap between what you learn in an office and what you pick up on a video call is real, and it shows up years later.
Dimon's frustration with remote work goes beyond logistics. He compared video calls to Hollywood Squares, the old game show where everyone sits in a separate box and nobody is actually running anything. The follow-up conversation that would happen in a hallway afterward just does not come. Projects drift without it.
