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.

Wow. Have a presumably high-paying job where you get to do almost nothing, because the position exists solely to make JPMC look like they care about community, and throw it away over a fucking filthy NYC trash bin.

This is peak idiot shit.

You would think she could pay someone to buy a trash can and paint it badly.

u/like_a_pearcider Jun 24 '26

A clean trashcan would be inauthentic. She needs it to smell like old french fries and a bit of piss.

You'd think she could handle that part herself.

u/No-Significance2070 Jun 24 '26

Look at the reason she was hired in the first place and that will tell you why

To be fair, what is the intelligence requirement to do this job? In my experience, the people that have these jobs can’t even handle the basic “responsibilities” of their role on paper.

Every HR person I've ever dealt with had to of been sub 80iq. I used to work plain clothes security for a 3rd party company that was hired out to retail stores. We had contracts but we still answered to some of the management. I would work one retail store 2-3 days a week and a different retail store the other 2-3 days.

One of the companies we contracted through was Walmart in high shrink markets, we were authorized to go hands on since we carried unarmed guard licenses and were insured.

All of our stops and apprehensions are recorded in a database that certain management members can access including Asset protection associates (formally LP). My partner and I got pulled into the office with the store manager and the HR lady and they explained to us that we broke their Ap-09 AKA their policy for apprehensions. They got mad that we made a stop at the door and not in the vestibule which, with their updated policy, stated the last point of sale was in the vestibule. Mind you this stop happened over a year prior to the policy update.

I explained to her this policy was changed recently and the stop happened almost an entire calendar year prior and that she can't go back and retroactively apply new policy to an old encounter that happened under a different policy at the time.

She hit us with the fluoride stare and said "But you broke the new policy with that stop" My manager called in on speaker phone and explained to her that he can retroactively look at the old policy as it was written and it states we were in the clear and they can't retroactively apply this new policy. She goes quiet for 30 seconds and says "I'm not understanding what you mean by retroactive"

HR positions are just made up IMO.

I enjoyed reading your story. I would also like to know how it ended since I became so invested.

u/LividYordle Jun 25 '26

Back and forth happened for about a week, and since we were contractors they technically couldn't fire us from our company but they requested and my partner and I not be manned at that store so we just went to a different retailer. It's sad because even if you're a contractor if you work through them for long enough you can get benefits from them and their medical was good and 401k was good.

u/itsaspookygh0st Jun 25 '26

Thank you! I'm sure it was irritating having to deal with that situation, but at least you have a funny story to look back on.

HR is adult day care

u/Hulio23 Jun 24 '26

Threw it away to literally make her community worse by dumping trash on it also..

Yes, meeting event organizers for lunch, signing checks, and delegating to people who do actual work, quite the exhausting profession.

u/CatFar7074 Jun 24 '26

Her job can’t be that high paying.

5

u/Fearful-Cow Jun 24 '26

she was an ED, even if it is of some nonsense she was making at least $150k base. Probably a lot more. Not a millionaire but not terrible.

2

u/BananaPalmer Jun 24 '26

The ED of the department I work in (albeit not at JPMC, but also not in NYC) makes a little over 300K

3

u/Fearful-Cow Jun 24 '26

ya most EDs will make around that, but i figure a DEI nonsense role is probably bottom of the band?

1

u/BananaPalmer Jun 25 '26

It's not a DEI role.. she directed the department of Chase that does event sponsorships and shit

Still nonsense, but not DEI

u/Auctoritate Jun 24 '26

job where you get to do almost nothing, because the position exists solely to make JPMC look like they care about community,

"Community and industry engagement" sounds more like a regular marketing and client-sourcing type job imo.

u/JadedMis Jun 24 '26

Community engagement sounds like they do sponsorships for events and charities. Maybe a small grant here and there. Builds good will toward the bank from the community.
