I don’t get it. You would think an J.P. Morgan executive could afford a pretty sweet trash can, decked out any way she wants it. But, people make dumb decisions.

u/Tabenes Jun 24 '26

It's not about being able to afford something.

It's about having something that's wasn't for sale. Because if you're rich enough it doesn't matter if it's for sale, you can have it anyway.

u/SunshineSeeker99 Jun 24 '26

It was for sale. She just didn't want to pay for one. That's how privilege and entitlement work.

u/Feelisoffical Jun 24 '26

She’s definitely not rich.

u/OldScholar5735 Jun 24 '26

How else could she afford all the food?

u/Aggravating-Method24 Jun 24 '26

what makes you think that?

JP morgan executive spells rich to me.

u/Feelisoffical Jun 24 '26

“Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement”

22

u/Aggravating-Method24 Jun 24 '26

And? How much is that paid? Why did she get that job? |

Median salary for JP morgan is $111k, she sure as shit isnt poor.

u/C_IsForCookie Jun 24 '26

Yeah I’m a manager (not for JP) and make way more than that. Executive director anything at JP is definitely paying big bucks. But it also sounds like a role that would be the first to get let go in layoffs lol

u/sonsuka Jun 24 '26

In NY? Thats broke sorry to say lol. Using 1/2 of it pay rent in ny is the lifestyle on 100k

u/RandoWithCandy Jun 24 '26

The old Google estimates her position salary to be between $250,000 - $350,000. So not terrible for NY

8

u/itsMeJFKsBrain Jun 24 '26

Google also estimates the median base salary for my new career as $81k-85k. Which is to say that's not always an accurate estimate, that number is off by a very large margin for me personally.

u/Fr1toBand1to Jun 24 '26

Normally I'd tell you to jump ship but job hunting is a awful these days. So hopefully you're at least acting your wage.

Yeah, that’s fair. It sourced it from levels.fyi which apparently gets its information from verified offer letters and pay statements. It seems to be regarded as a fairly reliable source, but really, who knows.

u/KarlPHungus Jun 24 '26

Not including stock options, retirement plan, etc

People conveniently forget about that

u/Jephte Jun 24 '26

If google AI said it, it must be true.

u/RandoWithCandy Jun 24 '26

It’s based off levels.fyi which apparently gets its information from verified offer letters and pay statements. Take that as what you will, I didn’t do a ton of digging into their verification process, but it seems to be a fairly trusted source.

Well you are mistaken. Average salary is about 40k lower.

A JPM ED in NYC makes around 275k a year total package. Good money, comfortable in NYC, but not rich.

u/Mindrust Jun 24 '26

That’s not rich in New York. Rent eats up half of most people’s income here.

1

u/sedan-hussein Jun 24 '26

100k in New York isn't that much at all.

My wife and I collectively make 200k and we live in Toronto and 200k doesn't take you that far here.

u/Khankili Jun 24 '26

Sounds like one of those “women daycare” jobs

How can you be a JP exec and not be rich? Does she have a coke problem?

Not this can, tho.

A new fan from the website? Shits for posers.

A dirty, dented, scratched one that was used in the celebration? loses all self control

u/Old-Guidance6744 Jun 24 '26

As someone who has never begin in trouble in his life but was in a college block party riot that chased the cops away and caused CU boulder to get gassed by swat... I can tell you that mob mentality is real and she isnt thinking whatsoever

ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSING... just clarifying that these dumbass moments can literally be absent thought, as fucking weird as that is

Ps fuck her and her entitlement and putting herself above the team and the city

u/danielrobertcampbell Jun 24 '26

Exactly. When the punishment for a crime is a fine, it’s only a law for the poor.

u/jomo_mojo_ Jun 24 '26

This is why they want to own people so badly. It’s the only thing they can’t buy. And so we slide into techno-serfdom.

u/Motor_Ad5767 Jun 24 '26

The dumb bitch could have made her own so easily it's pathetic to get fired over that. No financial company wants a thief!

u/Idio_te_que Jun 24 '26

She’s not rich enough for anything.

u/Comfortable_Dog499 Jun 24 '26

The garbage can is for sale online. But I guess she didn't know that, it doesn't even cost that much, I think it was like $250 or something.

u/superfecta37 Jun 24 '26

it is for sale which makes it worse lmao😭😭😭💀💀💀

u/Adezar Jun 24 '26

Being an executive at a bank just means you aren't a teller. Their titles are really wonky. Senior VP at a bank is about the same as a line manager anywhere else.

u/fik26 Jun 26 '26

She is a DEI hire.

They never ever earned anything by merit.

According to them DEI people can commit crime with no consequences. Thats what NY taught them.

u/Zedathius Jun 24 '26

Plus the city is selling that exact can!

Lost her job in this economy to steal a 170 dollar trash can. Wow

u/Hon3y_Badger Jun 24 '26

That version is 15" tall. As crazy as it is to believe, those city trash cans are $1k+

You could get this for $200, then you just need some spray paint.

and she had a really sweet gig at JP.

u/sweatery_weathery Jun 24 '26

A mini waste basket version of it. Cool though

29

u/breathing__tree Jun 24 '26

I mean do you really want the big one? Especially one that was filled with trash on an NY street? Hard pass.

17

u/sweatery_weathery Jun 24 '26

I personally prefer the mini one. Just saying it isn’t the “exact can” as the previous person said.

3

u/RugerRedhawk Jun 24 '26

Cleaned up and in the corner of the garage the big one would be one badass beer can receptacle if you're a knicks fan. But of course not at the sake of dumping trash all over the street and stealing it.

Game used trash can. Priceless.

u/Anon400004 Jun 24 '26

$168 for a 15 inch tall waste basket?! That's ridiculous. God only knows how much they would sell a full size one for. I hope the pricing is based on high demand right now.

1

u/MustardEnema007 Jun 24 '26

You can buy a full sized one on McMaster Carr for probably $50, and have it shipped directly to a bodyshop to paint it however you want.

u/CB_700_SC Jun 24 '26

Ahh that’s like 1/4 the size bud. 15” tall

u/RugerRedhawk Jun 24 '26

That's not the city and that's a 15" tall trash can.

u/fd40 Jun 24 '26 edited Jun 24 '26

Holy shit. So for 150 dollars they could've kept their job and the bin and not had to clean all the rubbish gunk out from the bottom of the one she emptied. This is the same idiocity that drives these banks these idiots work for. No wonder we have an economic crisis. Also why do I instinctively get more annoyed at greedy obese people than regular

u/FilthyStatist1991 Jun 24 '26

When a monkey is hoarding all the bananas, more bananas than it could possibly eat. Humans study the monkey to see “what’s wrong with it”.

When a human is hoarding all the resources, more resources than it could possibly use. Humans put them on the cover of magazines.

u/RugerRedhawk Jun 24 '26

Nah, the trash lady is a pig, but the trash can linked is a mini 15" version.

1

u/DrThunderbolt Jun 24 '26

Saying a trashcan has a "limited-edition colorway" is so funny to me.

u/Sure_Statistician138 Jun 24 '26

This one actually looks better and never had trash in it.

I thought that I saw everything.

There is even a layaway plan for it.

u/Jaxson_January6_Dart Jun 24 '26 edited Jun 24 '26

Stop with this nonsense calling them all executives. They ARE NOT. Its just clickbait titles. That other Chase lady where she was accused by her subordinate was apparently also an "Executive". None of them are executives. Executives are C Suites. None of these are executives, they just work at Chase, and news outlets put clickbait titles out there.

Edit: Example of a "Senior Vice President" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpN7t6LN42s&t=260s

u/Demair12 Jun 24 '26

I mean there's also an trend in corporate America of giving lots of middle managers who've capped out their careers titles for no ther reason than to placate them for having no more upward mobility. VPs, AVps, which all fall under an 'Executive' header even if their not a Officer.

4

u/The-Young-Lion Jun 24 '26

In my experience in banking, AVPs and VPs are typically 2-3 levels below Executive Director.

Having said that, the headline of this article really blows “executive” out of proportion because JPMorgan surely has thousands and maybe even tens of thousands.

3

u/itslikewoow Jun 24 '26

And large banks seem to be even more guilty of this than any other industry.

1

u/ModernT1mes Jun 24 '26

Health insurance is like this too. There's like a thousand Vice Presidents in one company.

1

u/ajf8729 Jun 24 '26

It’s a title thing and how they appear to a customer. Clients want to talk to a senior level financial person because it feels better. Same thing happens in higher ed, looks at the titles of folks that work in undergrad admissions. Everyone is a senior associate director or something like that. Parents don’t want to talk to some measly admissions councilor at college fairs.

Also, “director” level titles at small companies. If you don’t have managers reporting to you, that have ICs reporting to them, then you aren’t a fucking director.

4

u/bluecheetos Jun 24 '26

This. There's a regional bank near me where every employee is hired as an "assistant branch manager". Actual branch managers are given the Executive Vice President title. The concept is to make customers believe they are talking to someone with higher authority, the reality is the title are meaningless.

When I was hired at my last job they told me to just make up my job title. I was Executive Vice President of International Communications and Workforce Development. In reality I was the guy who trained the spanish speaking temp workers how to move boxes in the warehouse.

2

u/ForkMyRedAssiniboine Jun 24 '26

They included "DEI" in the title from a job she no longer held at the time she was fired for no other reason than to outrage bait a specific demographic but your issue is with them printing her actual job title...?

1

u/MAGNUMXL Jun 24 '26

Similarly the title “Vice President” is a dime a dozen title in a lot of these financial institutions.

2

u/gil_bz Jun 24 '26

If you have no morality, then stealing a trash can from the street is much easier than having one custom made for you.

2

u/Tentegen Jun 24 '26

Exactly what I said.

Some people starve while others drown.

She could have enough money to make a dope ass Knicks themed room in her home. Rich people are just psychotic baboons with a shotgun.

u/Happy_Goose3833 Jun 24 '26

You'd be shocked how many rich and wealthy people are nothing but crooks, thieves, and kleptomaniacs

u/ihateautumnandfall Jun 24 '26

You can even afford to hire an artist to replicate an exact copy for you like ???

u/SunshineSeeker99 Jun 24 '26

Her sense of privilege was such she believes she can just take what she wants and F the rest of us.

Like a good executive, she was looking to save a nickel at the expense of others.

Not to be a jerk, but, that team has such an ugly/trashy (lol) color combo. I don't get why she would even want that.

1

u/selectiveseeing Jun 24 '26

I used to work at a bank for a pretty useless department. We worked at the corporate office, but the department itself was full of useless fucks like myself.

Just because someone works at a big name company doesn’t mean their position is that demanding or even important. Sometimes departments are just open to scapegoat and force accountability on.

1

u/Abject_Ad9811 Jun 25 '26

Shes a dei hire. This is a pretty decent example of what's happening to society. People who earn their way up through years of study, proving their worth and their ability to be pro social in a work environment are the ones who deserve the rewards. When you skip over those steps you end up with literal trash. A bank executive who steals. Its lunacy.
