No Notifications Policy
“I don’t have notifications,” Dimon told CNN’s Erin Burnett. “If you sent me a text during the day, I probably do not read it.”
The only people who notify the 69-year-old American billionaire businessman are his kids. When he attends meetings, he leaves his phone in his office.
“When I go to my meetings, I did the pre-reads and I’m 100% focused on us,” Dimon said.

Meeting Etiquette Standards
At Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit in October, Dimon called phone usage in meetings “disrespectful” and said it “wastes time.”
“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,” Dimon said.
Earlier this year, Dimon expressed disapproval of work-from-home arrangements in an audio that was leaked.
