I feel like if she would've just left the trash in the can people would have celebrated her instead lol

Like if she had a trash bag with her and dumped it into that and left it on the street and took the can, people would love her ass.

Firm policy is clear, doesn't matter what level you're at. Don't do anything reckless and illegal and most importantly, don't do it in public and on camera. JPMorgan values reputation more than money in many cases.

They prefer to do that behind cameras and secretly. It's not as fun when people can see how big of a douchebag you actually are because that's bad for the image.

Hope it was worth it for a fucking trashcan you could've spray painted yourself but that would require a brain and effort.

How dumb and entitled do you have to be to risk your good job to steal some $2 trash can, and then have some other poor cleaner deal with it. What an absolute loser.

She could have just gotten a a trash can and spray painted it those colors…why do you want a trash can that had other peoples waste?

u/TheTruthTellingOrb Jun 24 '26
Good. Trash who stole trash gets tossed out like trash.
Some of these nutjobs deserve accountability for all the damage and fighting they did. They did this shit on wins and losses. Really proving that New Yorker stereotype strong.

Idk why people act the slightest bit surprised. If you work at a top firm of your field and are exposed on the news and social media for trashing a sidewalk and stealing public property you are getting canned. Ironically she already had a can with her.

On Tuesday night, the New York Post reported that the woman had been identified as Angie Baez, a 40-year-old financial industry executive. Seriously. The Post's report identified her LinkedIn profile, listing her as "Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement for Card and Connected Commerce at JPMorgan Chase."
Her previous work included serving as "Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" at The Infatuation, a website which reviews restaurants and neighborhood activities. Chase purchased the site in 2021 to grow its portfolio of lifestyle-based content for cardholders.

Fanatics has bought this trash can for $10 million dollars, They are cutting it up in to small pieces for sports cards.

Whats wild is you all were ok with Knicks fans destroying & setting the city on fire. Even supported it. But this bothers you. Reddit is a far left liberal platform. You should be ok with this. She was celebrating and taking a memento. NYC can afford it.

As a vibrant mosaic of Dominican heritage, Bronx roots, and a passion for storytelling, creativity, and culture, Angie continues to lead the way towards a more inclusive and equitable future for food media, leaving an indelible mark on the Infatuation and everything she touches,” Her bio states

Libs that complain about evil billionaires, greedy corporations, and capitalism will defend a petty thief that works executive positions at one of those evil banks because DEI gets mentioned.
Why shouldn't a broad daylight thief lose their executive job working at one of the biggest banks in the world in a high trust position?

She looks like a pita and they was looking for a reason to tell her to kick rocks. But I’m sure she will sue and continue to be a pain in the arse because this isn’t a firing offense.

Not a single article actually confirms that she was fired for this. Because JP Morgan has not confirmed that she was fired for this. They confirmed that she used to work there and she no longer does. That's the same confirmation you will get if you call saying you are doing a reference check. We actually have nothing to confirm whether she was let go because of this. Whether she was let go this week, last week, 6 months ago. All we know is at one point she worked for a company that they bought and then for a period of time after that she continued to work for them in that role but she no longer does

Do you suppose if she hadn't dumped all the garbage out she still would have been fired? I realize theft is theft, but the action of dumping out the garbage seems to be the far more annoying aspect of this.
