And don't give me the shit that work from home Friday works. I call a lot of people on Friday. They're not a goddamn person to get a hold of. But here are the problems, okay? And they are substantial, okay? Which is the young generation is being damaged by this. That may or may not be on your particular staff, but they are being left behind.

They're being left behind socially, ideas, meeting people. In fact, my guess is most of you live in communities a hell of a lot less diverse than this room. Every area should be looking to be 10% more efficient. If I was running a department of 100 people, I guarantee you, if I wanted to, I could run it with 90 and be more efficient. I guarantee you. I could do it in my sleep.

And the notion, these bureaucracies, I need more people, I can't get it done. No, because you're filling out requests that don't need to be done. Your people are going to meetings they don't need to go to. Someone told me to approve something as wealth management that they had to go to 14 committees. I am dying to get the name of the 14 committees, and I feel like firing 14 chairmen of committees.

I can't stand it anymore. Now, you have a choice. You don't have to work at J.P. Morgan. So the people of you who don't want to work at the company, that's fine with me. I'm not mad at you. Don't be mad at me. It's a free country. You can walk on your feet. You know, but this company is going to set our own standards and do it our own way. Thank you. And I've had it with this kind of stuff.

And, you know, I come in, you know, I've been working seven days a goddamn week since COVID. And I come in and I'm like, where's everybody else? But they're here and there and the Zooms and the Zooms don't show up. And people say they didn't get stuff. So that's not how you run a great company.

We didn't build this great company by doing that, by doing the same semi-disease shit that everybody else does.

He does, yeah.

Or burnt this city on liberal policies, right? We burnt this city. We burned this city on liberal policies. That's what they got to say, right? We didn't start the fire. It was always burning since. That's a good one.
