Jamie Dimon shares why he never reads text messages at work: 'I don't have notifications'

""I don't have notifications," the finance boss told CNN's Erin Burnett in an interview. "If you sent me a text during the day, I probably do not read it." He added: "The only notifications I get is from my kids. That's it. When they text me, I get that.""

""When I'm walking around the building and going to meetings, I don't have it on me. It's in my office," he said. "When I go to my meetings, I did the pre-reads and I'm 100% focused on us, what you're talking about, why you're talking about it, as opposed to I'm distracted and I'm thinking about other things.""

""If you have an iPad in front of me and it looks like you're reading your email or getting notifications, I'll tell you to close the damn thing," he said at the time."

Jamie Dimon turns off phone notifications and typically does not read texts during the workday, allowing notifications only from his children. He often leaves his phone in his office while walking through the building and attending meetings. Dimon prepares with pre-reads and expects full attention during meetings to focus on the topic at hand and avoid distractions. He characterizes phone use in meetings as disrespectful and time-wasting and insists meetings have a clear purpose. Dimon has also criticized remote-work habits and behaviors he associates with younger generations in the workplace.
