It’s tough to know what we are even discussing when OP trolls with an article behind a paywall
That's weird. I read the entire article before posting. Now when I go back to re-read (based on your post), I can't w/o subscription.
EDIT:
I can access it from behind the AT&T firewall. Weird!
When it comes to remote work, the leader of one of the largest investment banks in the country is ready to cancel the Zoom calls. JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) CEO
Jamie Dimon, an outspoken advocate for bringing workers back to the office, told leaders in Chapel Hill Thursday that "management by Hollywood Squares doesn't work well."
Dimon, the keynote speaker at UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School's
groundbreaking event for its new building, put out a lot of one-liners, telling the crowd that while wise people learn from mistakes, the wisest "learns by other people's mistakes." And one mistake might be not showing up to the office.
While working remotely makes sense for some jobs, Dimon said, “You learn so much from people" when collaborating in the same room. He said to look at “who’s getting ahead, who’s getting the plum assignments?” It’s the person going into the office every day, Dimon argues. “I think people should recognize the weaknesses … we make our senior people go in,” he said.
The remarks came as JPMorgan Chase
continues to expand its retail branch presence in the Triangle and across North Carolina. The company opened its first retail branch in the state in Chapel Hill in 2019.
Dimon sees his industry as holding a great responsibility, and that includes in promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. He said public policy follows corporate leadership, and challenged the crowd to be intentional about DEI. It's part of the mission, he said. And he sees banks as having a critical mission, particularly in downturns.
“What banks do is we try to lift up society,” he said.
He encouraged UNC students to observe the world around them.“ A lot of the learning you’re going to do is going to be not in school,” he said. “School is teaching you how to learn.”
"Open up your mind," he said. "Don't get jazzed up by everything all the time."
Dimon joined trustees, executives and students in front of the McColl Building on campus for the groundbreaking of Steve Bell Hall in honor of the chairman emeritus of Bell Partners. Bell
pledged a $25 million gift to support the new building for UNC Kenan-Flagler.
UNC Chancellor
Kevin Guskiewicz called it a “historic day.” “Our university was founded on the idea of building for the future,” he said, adding that the plan is to help the school "advance our critical mission ... and to better teach the rising generation in a state of the art facility that we will break ground on today.
Currently, Kenan-Flagler has around 3,400 undergraduate and graduate students. The new building will add 140,000 square feet and double the available teaching spaces to 16 classrooms. Construction is scheduled to start in late November. Work is expected to take more than two years.
The expansion, according to UNC, will enable the school to increase enrollment in its undergraduate business program by at least 50 percent.
Planned renovations to the existing McColl building will take an additional year, with the entire planned expansion project scheduled for completion in early 2026.
