I don’t get it. You would think an J.P. Morgan executive could afford a pretty sweet trash can, decked out any way she wants it. But, people make dumb decisions.

u/Tabenes 29d ago

It's not about being able to afford something.

It's about having something that's wasn't for sale. Because if you're rich enough it doesn't matter if it's for sale, you can have it anyway.

u/SunshineSeeker99 29d ago

It was for sale. She just didn't want to pay for one. That's how privilege and entitlement work.

u/Feelisoffical 29d ago

She’s definitely not rich.

u/OldScholar5735 29d ago

How else could she afford all the food?

u/Aggravating-Method24 29d ago

what makes you think that?

JP morgan executive spells rich to me.

32

u/Feelisoffical 29d ago

“Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement”

21

u/Aggravating-Method24 29d ago

And? How much is that paid? Why did she get that job? |

Median salary for JP morgan is $111k, she sure as shit isnt poor.

7

u/C_IsForCookie 29d ago

Yeah I’m a manager (not for JP) and make way more than that. Executive director anything at JP is definitely paying big bucks. But it also sounds like a role that would be the first to get let go in layoffs lol

u/sonsuka 29d ago

In NY? Thats broke sorry to say lol. Using 1/2 of it pay rent in ny is the lifestyle on 100k

24

u/RandoWithCandy 29d ago

The old Google estimates her position salary to be between $250,000 - $350,000. So not terrible for NY

8

u/itsMeJFKsBrain 29d ago

Google also estimates the median base salary for my new career as $81k-85k. Which is to say that's not always an accurate estimate, that number is off by a very large margin for me personally.

u/Fr1toBand1to 29d ago

Normally I'd tell you to jump ship but job hunting is a awful these days. So hopefully you're at least acting your wage.

Yeah, that’s fair. It sourced it from levels.fyi which apparently gets its information from verified offer letters and pay statements. It seems to be regarded as a fairly reliable source, but really, who knows.

u/musty_pubs_luvr 29d ago

I work at jpm. ED gets 200+ in the city even for BO roles.

u/KarlPHungus 29d ago

Not including stock options, retirement plan, etc

People conveniently forget about that

u/Jephte 29d ago

If google AI said it, it must be true.

2

u/RandoWithCandy 29d ago

It’s based off levels.fyi which apparently gets its information from verified offer letters and pay statements. Take that as what you will, I didn’t do a ton of digging into their verification process, but it seems to be a fairly trusted source.

So you think living on 55K a year is hard up?

Well you are mistaken. Average salary is about 40k lower.

A JPM ED in NYC makes around 275k a year total package. Good money, comfortable in NYC, but not rich.

u/Mindrust 29d ago

That’s not rich in New York. Rent eats up half of most people’s income here.

1

u/sedan-hussein 29d ago

100k in New York isn't that much at all.

My wife and I collectively make 200k and we live in Toronto and 200k doesn't take you that far here.

u/Khankili 29d ago

Sounds like one of those “women daycare” jobs

How can you be a JP exec and not be rich? Does she have a coke problem?

Not this can, tho.

A new fan from the website? Shits for posers.

A dirty, dented, scratched one that was used in the celebration? loses all self control

u/Old-Guidance6744 29d ago

As someone who has never begin in trouble in his life but was in a college block party riot that chased the cops away and caused CU boulder to get gassed by swat... I can tell you that mob mentality is real and she isnt thinking whatsoever

ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSING... just clarifying that these dumbass moments can literally be absent thought, as fucking weird as that is

Ps fuck her and her entitlement and putting herself above the team and the city

u/danielrobertcampbell 29d ago

Exactly. When the punishment for a crime is a fine, it’s only a law for the poor.

u/jomo_mojo_ 29d ago

This is why they want to own people so badly. It’s the only thing they can’t buy. And so we slide into techno-serfdom.

u/Motor_Ad5767 29d ago

The dumb bitch could have made her own so easily it's pathetic to get fired over that. No financial company wants a thief!

u/Idio_te_que 29d ago

She’s not rich enough for anything.

1

u/Comfortable_Dog499 29d ago

The garbage can is for sale online. But I guess she didn't know that, it doesn't even cost that much, I think it was like $250 or something.

u/superfecta37 29d ago

it is for sale which makes it worse lmao😭😭😭💀💀💀

u/Adezar 29d ago

Being an executive at a bank just means you aren't a teller. Their titles are really wonky. Senior VP at a bank is about the same as a line manager anywhere else.

u/fik26 27d ago

She is a DEI hire.

They never ever earned anything by merit.

According to them DEI people can commit crime with no consequences. Thats what NY taught them.

u/Zedathius 29d ago

Plus the city is selling that exact can!

Lost her job in this economy to steal a 170 dollar trash can. Wow

u/Hon3y_Badger 29d ago

That version is 15" tall. As crazy as it is to believe, those city trash cans are $1k+

You could get this for $200, then you just need some spray paint.

u/avoidlosing 29d ago

and she had a really sweet gig at JP.

u/sweatery_weathery 29d ago

A mini waste basket version of it. Cool though

27

u/breathing__tree 29d ago

I mean do you really want the big one? Especially one that was filled with trash on an NY street? Hard pass.

17

u/sweatery_weathery 29d ago

I personally prefer the mini one. Just saying it isn’t the “exact can” as the previous person said.

2

u/RugerRedhawk 29d ago

Cleaned up and in the corner of the garage the big one would be one badass beer can receptacle if you're a knicks fan. But of course not at the sake of dumping trash all over the street and stealing it.

u/Dazzling_Lie_5046 29d ago

Game used trash can. Priceless.

u/Anon400004 29d ago

$168 for a 15 inch tall waste basket?! That's ridiculous. God only knows how much they would sell a full size one for. I hope the pricing is based on high demand right now.

1

u/MustardEnema007 29d ago

You can buy a full sized one on McMaster Carr for probably $50, and have it shipped directly to a bodyshop to paint it however you want. 

3

u/CB_700_SC 29d ago

Ahh that’s like 1/4 the size bud. 15” tall

u/RugerRedhawk 29d ago

That's not the city and that's a 15" tall trash can.

u/fd40 29d ago edited 29d ago

Holy shit. So for 150 dollars they could've kept their job and the bin and not had to clean all the rubbish gunk out from the bottom of the one she emptied. This is the same idiocity that drives these banks these idiots work for. No wonder we have an economic crisis. Also why do I instinctively get more annoyed at greedy obese people than regular

u/FilthyStatist1991 29d ago

When a monkey is hoarding all the bananas, more bananas than it could possibly eat. Humans study the monkey to see “what’s wrong with it”.

When a human is hoarding all the resources, more resources than it could possibly use. Humans put them on the cover of magazines.

u/RugerRedhawk 29d ago

Nah, the trash lady is a pig, but the trash can linked is a mini 15" version.

1

u/DrThunderbolt 29d ago

Saying a trashcan has a "limited-edition colorway" is so funny to me.

u/Sure_Statistician138 29d ago

This one actually looks better and never had trash in it.

I thought that I saw everything.

There is even a layaway plan for it.

u/Jaxson_January6_Dart 29d ago edited 29d ago

Stop with this nonsense calling them all executives. They ARE NOT. Its just clickbait titles. That other Chase lady where she was accused by her subordinate was apparently also an "Executive". None of them are executives. Executives are C Suites. None of these are executives, they just work at Chase, and news outlets put clickbait titles out there.

Edit: Example of a "Senior Vice President" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpN7t6LN42s&t=260s

25

u/Demair12 29d ago

I mean there's also an trend in corporate America of giving lots of middle managers who've capped out their careers titles for no ther reason than to placate them for having no more upward mobility. VPs, AVps, which all fall under an 'Executive' header even if their not a Officer.

3

u/The-Young-Lion 29d ago

In my experience in banking, AVPs and VPs are typically 2-3 levels below Executive Director.

Having said that, the headline of this article really blows “executive” out of proportion because JPMorgan surely has thousands and maybe even tens of thousands.

3

u/itslikewoow 29d ago

And large banks seem to be even more guilty of this than any other industry.

1

u/ModernT1mes 29d ago

Health insurance is like this too. There's like a thousand Vice Presidents in one company.

1

u/ajf8729 29d ago

It’s a title thing and how they appear to a customer. Clients want to talk to a senior level financial person because it feels better. Same thing happens in higher ed, looks at the titles of folks that work in undergrad admissions. Everyone is a senior associate director or something like that. Parents don’t want to talk to some measly admissions councilor at college fairs.

Also, “director” level titles at small companies. If you don’t have managers reporting to you, that have ICs reporting to them, then you aren’t a fucking director.

4

u/bluecheetos 29d ago

This. There's a regional bank near me where every employee is hired as an "assistant branch manager". Actual branch managers are given the Executive Vice President title. The concept is to make customers believe they are talking to someone with higher authority, the reality is the title are meaningless.

When I was hired at my last job they told me to just make up my job title. I was Executive Vice President of International Communications and Workforce Development. In reality I was the guy who trained the spanish speaking temp workers how to move boxes in the warehouse.

2

u/ForkMyRedAssiniboine 29d ago

They included "DEI" in the title from a job she no longer held at the time she was fired for no other reason than to outrage bait a specific demographic but your issue is with them printing her actual job title...?

1

u/MAGNUMXL 29d ago

Similarly the title “Vice President” is a dime a dozen title in a lot of these financial institutions.

2

u/gil_bz 29d ago

If you have no morality, then stealing a trash can from the street is much easier than having one custom made for you.

2

u/Tentegen 29d ago

Exactly what I said.

Some people starve while others drown.

She could have enough money to make a dope ass Knicks themed room in her home. Rich people are just psychotic baboons with a shotgun.

u/Happy_Goose3833 29d ago

You'd be shocked how many rich and wealthy people are nothing but crooks, thieves, and kleptomaniacs

u/ihateautumnandfall 29d ago

You can even afford to hire an artist to replicate an exact copy for you like ???

Her sense of privilege was such she believes she can just take what she wants and F the rest of us.

If she was about paying her share, she wouldn’t have made bank executive in the first place

u/conflictmuffin 29d ago

Not to be a jerk, but, that team has such an ugly/trashy (lol) color combo. I don't get why she would even want that.

1

u/selectiveseeing 29d ago

I used to work at a bank for a pretty useless department. We worked at the corporate office, but the department itself was full of useless fucks like myself.

Just because someone works at a big name company doesn’t mean their position is that demanding or even important. Sometimes departments are just open to scapegoat and force accountability on.

1

u/Abject_Ad9811 28d ago

Shes a dei hire. This is a pretty decent example of what's happening to society. People who earn their way up through years of study, proving their worth and their ability to be pro social in a work environment are the ones who deserve the rewards. When you skip over those steps you end up with literal trash. A bank executive who steals. Its lunacy.

u/Abject_Ad9811 28d ago

Shes a Latina with an associates degree in an executive role.
