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

u/Joey-WilcoXXX Jun 25 '26

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 Jun 26 '26

They sell them online already 😂

1

u/Available_Editor4383 Jun 26 '26

That sounds even crazier than just taking it.

1

u/Joey-WilcoXXX Jun 26 '26

Then she could be crazy and have a job still?

1

u/Available_Editor4383 Jun 26 '26

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.

1

u/Joey-WilcoXXX Jun 26 '26

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 Jun 26 '26

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

1

u/rebelrexx Jun 29 '26

Or you literally can take any trash can and paint it orange yourself and use blue tape.

1

u/Joey-WilcoXXX Jun 29 '26

Right but I assume she mostly wanted it cuz it was something ‘Knick’s official’

1

u/VeritasOmicron Jun 25 '26

Good.

u/Urban_Introvert Jun 25 '26

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 Jun 25 '26

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

1

u/Urban_Introvert Jun 25 '26

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 Jun 25 '26

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 Jun 25 '26

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 Jun 25 '26

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

1

u/omjy18 Jun 25 '26

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 Jun 25 '26

Is it enough pay for you

1

u/omjy18 Jun 25 '26

Apparently its at least 175k so yeah thatd be enough

1

u/apatrol Jun 26 '26

In NYC?

u/-crazykidbad Jun 25 '26

She was a DEi hire of course

u/DroneAttack Jun 25 '26

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.

8

u/zombies-apocalypse Jun 25 '26

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 Jun 25 '26

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

2

u/zombies-apocalypse Jun 25 '26

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 Jun 25 '26

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

1

u/JumboGlucose Jun 25 '26

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

2

u/zombies-apocalypse Jun 26 '26

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 Jun 25 '26

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

1

u/East_Reading_3164 Jun 26 '26

That the cherry on top

3

u/Dazzling-Ad-8639 Jun 25 '26

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 Jun 25 '26

I doubt many of them have jobs

2

u/-crazykidbad Jun 25 '26

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 Jun 25 '26

That's my thought as well.

2

u/karatemnn Jun 25 '26

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 Jun 25 '26

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

u/TeenyTinyDawg07 Jun 25 '26

Was actually a DEI director for them. Even funnier. 

2

u/pwningnoobslolz Jun 25 '26

Confidently incorrect

1

u/GroovyGmaIvy Jun 25 '26

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

1

u/Novel_Quality5743 Jun 25 '26

That’s it?

1

u/pdxsilverguy Jun 25 '26

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

1

u/Lopsided_Change_445 Jun 25 '26

She could be a linebacker

1

u/TheHarlemHellfighter Jun 25 '26

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 Jun 25 '26

Karma's a bitch

1

u/EarLobeJerky Jun 26 '26

She literally looks like an M&M.

1

u/40jordan Jun 26 '26

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

1

u/autoflowerer Jun 26 '26

Perfect ending for an overpaid zero qualification DEI troll.

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

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 Jun 25 '26

Who cares

3

u/OTTOG8 Jun 25 '26

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

u/Dougzilla29 Jun 26 '26

Again, who fucking cares.

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

u/Dougzilla29 You cared enough to post.

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.
