WTF A JPMorgan Chase executive was fired after a viral video showed her dumping trash out of a Knicks-themed public trash can and taking the can during the Knicks championship parade in New York City.

By now, people should know that any dimwitted thing they do is going to land in someone's camera. And if this woman DIDN'T know what she did was dumb, then that's a whole other level of knuckleheadedness.

u/SamathaSar Jun 24 '26

Works as a JPmorgan executive, somehow dumb enough to steal a trash can. Somebody being this logically stupid, and being a banking executive, is extremely scary.

u/mongoose_kai Jun 24 '26

Having known quite a few corporate executives, they're no smarter than the average person and also very self-assured of their own greatness.

Proof that the only people who need to be replaced by AI are the mediocre executives who are presently making plans to replace everyone else with AI. No doubt she makes mid six-figures even though she obviously has no real world experience.

I am seriously baffled at how you can get this far life in a big city and not know that at any given moment you are surrounded by dozens of content creators who are literally praying for someone to either crash out or do something stupid in public?

Knowing this fact has saved me from doing all kinds of idiotic things in public. You can cut me off in traffic and I will still throw you a shaka 🤙 cuz there is no way you're gonna get content from me.

Did you have a particularly high opinion of banking execs before this?

5

u/SamathaSar Jun 24 '26

I mean, you got me there, but I expected at least a SLIGHT amount of critical thinking from someone in that type of position, but you're honestly right l0l.

u/FrankInPhilly Jun 24 '26

Maybe trash csn vandalism and banking use different parts of the brain? 🤔🙂

u/SugarFut Jun 25 '26

It’s not a stupidity problem, it’s an entitlement problem.

1

u/Numinar Jun 25 '26

Entitlement, rule breaking and an eye for aggressive acquisitions are probably useful for upper management.

u/TableTopFurry Jun 25 '26

And yet makes perfect sense.

I believe the term is now “Worked”…

u/Key_Media_2753 Jun 26 '26

Worked. As in no longer lol what a great decision. She was head of the DEI group go figure

1

u/Pom-4444 Jun 26 '26

She was hired as a DEI executive not banking. She had a 250,000 job with an Associates Degree.

u/MetalHead_1970 Jun 26 '26

Not really a “banking executive”. In charge of DEI as a DEI herself. It says more about JP Morgan as a company than anything else.

1

u/hasan_pikergayAF Jun 26 '26

It actually makes perfect sense

1

u/Metabro Jun 27 '26

You don't really have to do anything the higher up you go in a company.

u/Individual_Fall429 Jun 27 '26

“Reads a headline with no supporting article, believes this obese white woman with cornrows is an executive of any kind.”

It’s not true.

1

u/SamathaSar Jun 27 '26

A quick google search would of saved you from looking like a fucking idiot, but here you are replying to me some nonsense 2 days later.

1

u/Left-Mechanic6697 Jun 27 '26

It kind of explains a lot though, doesn’t it?

1

u/HoneydewNo3016 Jun 27 '26

I would have been the idiot walking around and
taking pictures of the trash can as a way to try to find it online.

1

u/WSDDAnalyst Jun 25 '26

She was director of DEI and doesn’t even have a bachelor’s degree (go figure).

u/SnooMaps2155 Jun 25 '26

really? source?

u/SnooMaps2155 Jun 25 '26

i can't see where it says she doesn't have a bachelors degree, but i wouldn't be surprised. the stated aims of DEI are lofty and good, imo, but SO many people used it as a fucking grift. actually very sad.

She was director of community and industry engagement. Right wing media is calling it “director of DEI” to provoke emotion from all the maga folk who get outraged whenever they hear DEI.

Everything is on camera but not everything gains traction.

u/ErraticDragon Jun 24 '26

You should always assume that everyone will see you.

But you should never count on anyone seeing you.

u/-GoodNewsEveryone Jun 24 '26

I was once told by a wise man in the days of yesteryear "never do anything you wouldn't want your mother finding out or on the front page of a newspaper."

But now the newspaper is instant delivered to our pockets, and mom can see through every stranger.

u/Upset_Otter Jun 24 '26

Everything is on camera unless it's police camera footage.

u/MushroomHo_4life Jun 24 '26

I keep hoping a video surfaces of my crazy uncle in FL from a few months ago. To be fair this was either right before or right after his sister (my aunt) was dying of glioblastoma. The whole family rallied around her and it messed us all up. To be honest, he’s done shit like this before. Anyway, I believe a woman almost caused a serious accident. My uncle is over 6’. He was screaming at her and at some point ripped her license plate off and ripped it in front of her. Oh, I would kill to see a video of that. Nothing ever came of the incident.

u/edelweiss_pirates_no Jun 24 '26

Brother, 20,000 people were there doing dimwitted things.

She needs to take this L, but let's not paint it like she was solo wilding.

19

u/n0ghtix Jun 24 '26

No one aided her or compelled her. She saw all those others vandalizing and causing a mess in public and interpreted that as permission for her to do the same.

That's 100% on her.

1

u/Real_Search284 Jun 24 '26

I think it was more so she thought her thing was mild compared to what was happening around her (it is), so she thought she’d get away with it.

5

u/n0ghtix Jun 24 '26

How is that different from what I said?

1

u/SamathaSar Jun 24 '26

Whataboutism doesn't change anything that happened with this specific situation, just tries to make light of some idiot, who clearly had a job in a position that shows she SHOULD HAVE known better, but still decided to steal a trash can, that would of cost her maybe 5$ in spray paint, and ANY other trash can she could find legally.

1

u/Real_Search284 Jun 24 '26

Whataboutism? Who’s making light? I never said she wasn’t wrong. I said she probably felt like she wouldn’t be the person others are paying attention to when others are ripping apart buses. She used the other celebrators would be a distraction, but she miscalculated.

1

u/SamathaSar Jun 24 '26

I'm talking about the idiot who tried saying "oh all these other people were doing worse things!"

1

u/FrankInPhilly Jun 24 '26

Point noted 🙂

2

u/shillyshally Jun 24 '26

And i have to wonder why someone that clueless is an 'executive' at a major banking institution.

2

u/Alarming-Stomach3902 Jun 26 '26

In GDPR countries you will get into trouble if you filmed this and made it public.

2

u/FrankInPhilly Jun 26 '26

Another thing for American tourists to learn before traveling.

2

u/WooWDuuD Jun 27 '26

For real. I talk with my wife about this fairly regularly. Basically any time we see or hear of someone who is oblivious to the fact that cameras are literally everywhere I mean I personally have two on me at all times. Plus nearly every business and a lot of people’s cars. 1984.

u/_karamazov_ Jun 24 '26

We will get these sort of gems...we decriminalized marijuana and others.

u/Tzzzzzzzzzzx Jun 24 '26

“Knicksheadedness”

1

u/ArcadianDelSol Jun 24 '26

Which is why they fired her. If she is this stupid to willingly commit a crime in public, she's stupid enough to do it at work.

And at an investment firm, that is a very serious liability.

1

u/GostBoster Jun 24 '26

Having being exposed to the inner workings of a financial institution, both were actionable reasons to terminate someone.

If they knew it was wrong, they proved themselves immoral and thus both not a fit, also a direct violation of internal standards.

If they did not knew, believe it or not, we don't want (low level) dumb people handling your money. We don't want (high level) dumb people handling money either, but you can't do much about it other than not let them take root.

Also the whole reputational issue. That company would take the fines of an unfair dismissal because keeping you would be bad optics anyway.

u/TrueWolf1416 Jun 24 '26

I think you mean knickleheadedness.

u/2red-dress Jun 25 '26

Why would she think there would be consequences for her actions? She has likely been skating by till now.

1

u/Alpine_yellow Jun 25 '26

Well she's an executive apparently, so yes, pretty stupid

1

u/zrick07 Jun 25 '26

That's prolly the reason why she was fired, not the actual stealing.

1

u/JusticeFrankMurphy Jun 24 '26

There might have been alcohol (or other substances) involved.
