After a stormy town hall where JP Morgan’s CEO addressed employee frustration over the bank’s latest return to work directive, Jamie Dimon conferred with workers anew on Thursday. This time, the vibe was decidedly more laid back, according to two employees who viewed the meeting, as Dimon addressed issues including his future plans, the bank’s DEI program and the importance of AI.
Dimon, who is known for his salty tongue, started off the roughly hour long meeting with a joke. “No swearing this time,” he said, which produced laughs from the 1,000 people who were able to get seats. The town hall was held in the bank’s Dallas corporate conference center in its Plano, Texas campus. Unlike prior town halls, the bank did not provide a link to the meeting, so employees could not view it on Zoom. However, there were viewing parties in some outer offices.
