Nicolas Welch is one of the JPM employees who are objecting to the company ending hybrid work.

The CEO has had it with staff complaining about his strict return-to-office orders. Leaks from a company town hall meeting also indicate he views the bank’s DEI programs as ‘wasted money.’

Analyst Nicolas Welch explained to CEO Jamie Dimon that his team was composed of seven people located in different geographies, including India, and work in different time zones. So working from the office did not make sense for the team.
