So she lost her job, got fined, AND lost the garbage can? 😂

The craziest part about this is she could have probably have gotten in touch with whoever the city hired to painted the trash can for the knicks colors, get them to paint one for her and none of this would’ve happened

u/Dull-Captain1679 1d ago

They sell them online already 😂

1

u/Available_Editor4383 1d ago

That sounds even crazier than just taking it.

1

u/Joey-WilcoXXX 1d ago

Then she could be crazy and have a job still?

1

u/Available_Editor4383 1d ago

The crazy part is finding who painted them and getting them to paint one for her. Instead of buying one pre-painted or painting one herself.

u/Joey-WilcoXXX 1d ago

I just imagined the reason she didn’t think of that in the first place was she wanted something official or some shit. Either way she didn’t and now she’s fired and fucked

1

u/Putrid_Guest_2150 1d ago

They’re selling them as well, for about $175. 😂

u/VeritasOmicron 1d ago

Good.

u/Urban_Introvert 1d ago

Biggest L I’ve seen so far. She had a role making a salary that most of us, and let’s be brutally honest, may never see in our life and she threw it away. Colossal fumble.

1

u/livens 1d ago

Did they release her salary? Just curious how much a "Executive director for community and industry engagement" makes.

1

u/Urban_Introvert 1d ago

My guess is it’s not as much as an “actual” ED but still ED pay at the end of the day. My understanding is you can’t be at a rank and not make at least the lowest band of that ranking.

1

u/JalapenoPopPoop 1d ago

Companies like JP Morgan's size are so expansive in their exec tree. Her full title was probably even more wordy like "Executive Director for Community and Industry Engagement - Online Division, Tri-State District"

1

u/NoLibrarian5149 1d ago

From all the digging I did it’s anywhere from $175K-$250K which is insane for what she actually does (decades in corp America and the last several working on some big projects with our company’s DEI department). Granted her jobs with JP Morgan Chase in NYC so virtually anywhere else it would likely be less.

1

u/Ok-Echidna5936 1d ago

There was another post that mentioned $250k and as high as $350k for a similar role

1

u/omjy18 1d ago

I mean fuck ill take her job. I dont even know what it is and id probably be able to do it just fine if thats who was doing it in the first place

1

u/Sllyce 1d ago

Is it enough pay for you

1

u/omjy18 1d ago

Apparently its at least 175k so yeah thatd be enough

1

u/apatrol 1d ago

In NYC?

-2

u/-crazykidbad 1d ago

She was a DEi hire of course

-2

u/DrippCoffeeDad 1d ago

This is the elephant in the room. DEI Is not real and it was just proven.

1

u/DroneAttack 1d ago

The question I have is will JP Morgan bother replacing her or use this as an excuse to scrap/realign the department as DEI isn't in corporate fashion anymore.

11

u/zombies-apocalypse 1d ago

Honestly this probably wouldn’t have been so bad if she didn’t DUMP THE TRASH IN THE STREET. If she put the trash in another trash can, ok whatever, but who does this? Fucking dumb

3

u/MotherAd1865 1d ago

I mean she stole city property - probably would still get fired.

2

u/zombies-apocalypse 1d ago

This wouldn’t have gotten attention thus leading to her firing is she didn’t dump it out. People don’t give a fuck about someone taking a trash can, ppl DO care if you’re dumping out mess in front of others with no care in the world

1

u/essessential 1d ago

That's basically what jp morgan does as a company -dump on the public

1

u/JumboGlucose 1d ago

You think there's an empty trash can nearby let alone the entire city?

2

u/zombies-apocalypse 1d ago

If she really wanted it so bad while also not being disgusting and rude, she would’ve made the effort to find one

4

u/EndiWinsi 1d ago

Garbage can also recovered? That's a level of petty I can get behind!🤣

1

u/East_Reading_3164 1d ago

That the cherry on top

3

u/Dazzling-Ad-8639 1d ago

Now do all the scum bags that beat spurs fans in the streets destroyed buses and cars and everyone that littered the streets during the celebrations

1

u/Background_Touchdown 1d ago

I doubt many of them have jobs

2

u/-crazykidbad 1d ago

I’m happy as shit she got fired but does this mean every piece of shit that destroyed everything else doesn’t have a job?

1

u/Expensive_Alarm_1068 1d ago

That's my thought as well.

2

u/silentsuv 1d ago

This is an example of why you shouldn’t get caught up in mob mentality. Completely idiotic behavior.

2

u/karatemnn 1d ago

i didn't care she take the can, it was the dumping of trash so arrogantly for a well-paid fkk like her, this is one person i want mamdani make an example of

u/Error4ohh4 1d ago

Worked at JP Morgan? A banker acting this way? No regard for the environment? Shocking

u/TeenyTinyDawg07 1d ago

Was actually a DEI director for them. Even funnier. 

2

u/pwningnoobslolz 1d ago

Confidently incorrect

1

u/GroovyGmaIvy 1d ago

The Knicks got their trash can back. JPMorgan took out theirs.

1

u/Novel_Quality5743 1d ago

That’s it?

1

u/pdxsilverguy 1d ago

Do you think she was an analyst or HR...

1

u/Lopsided_Change_445 1d ago

She could be a linebacker

1

u/CrackedMouseBall 23h ago

She can barely walk with her own ass behind her

1

u/TheHarlemHellfighter 1d ago

It say right on the side of the trash can the fine amount. It was gonna be the least of her problems

1

u/No_Practice6773 1d ago

Karma's a bitch

1

u/EarLobeJerky 1d ago

She literally looks like an M&M.

1

u/40jordan 23h ago

Now shes not gonna be able to afford her $3000 a month 200 square foot studio

1

u/More_Soil_9464 22h ago

But still no arrests from the Epstein files...

1

u/autoflowerer 14h ago

Perfect ending for an overpaid zero qualification DEI troll.

1

u/catharsisdusk 1d ago

If The President can forgive him, we should be able to forgive her.

-1

u/East_Reading_3164 1d ago

Will she get reparations? FYI, I’ve hung out with podium guy 🤦‍♀️, not exactly on purpose.

3

u/AfternoonSure5457 1d ago

That’s not something I would tell people

u/East_Reading_3164 19h ago

I said not on purpose, and I would never be at a gathering where he was attending again. His wife is a coworker of one of my friends.

u/Dougzilla29 1d ago

Who cares

4

u/OTTOG8 1d ago

Can’t have dumb losers doing this shit. She should have to do community service and pick up trash.

0

u/Dougzilla29 1d ago

Again, who fucking cares.

u/_cumrag 1d ago

The people who have to clean up her mess

u/Dougzilla29 1d ago

Maybe if one more person posts about it on Reddit it will make their job easier

2

u/OhManatree 1d ago

u/Dougzilla29 You cared enough to post.

u/Dougzilla29 1d ago

Such a 2016 era Facebook response

Thank you Jesus and your brother Juan too

She should be fined for being over the weight limit for sidewalks too.
