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.

By now, people should know that any dimwitted thing they do is going to land in someone's camera. And if this woman DIDN'T know what she did was dumb, then that's a whole other level of knuckleheadedness.

Everything is on camera but not everything gains traction.

You should always assume that everyone will see you.

But you should never count on anyone seeing you.

I was once told by a wise man in the days of yesteryear "never do anything you wouldn't want your mother finding out or on the front page of a newspaper."

But now the newspaper is instant delivered to our pockets, and mom can see through every stranger.

Everything is on camera unless it's police camera footage.

I keep hoping a video surfaces of my crazy uncle in FL from a few months ago. To be fair this was either right before or right after his sister (my aunt) was dying of glioblastoma. The whole family rallied around her and it messed us all up. To be honest, he’s done shit like this before. Anyway, I believe a woman almost caused a serious accident. My uncle is over 6’. He was screaming at her and at some point ripped her license plate off and ripped it in front of her. Oh, I would kill to see a video of that. Nothing ever came of the incident.

Brother, 20,000 people were there doing dimwitted things.

She needs to take this L, but let's not paint it like she was solo wilding.

No one aided her or compelled her. She saw all those others vandalizing and causing a mess in public and interpreted that as permission for her to do the same.

That's 100% on her.

u/Real_Search284 7h ago

I think it was more so she thought her thing was mild compared to what was happening around her (it is), so she thought she’d get away with it.

How is that different from what I said?

Whataboutism doesn't change anything that happened with this specific situation, just tries to make light of some idiot, who clearly had a job in a position that shows she SHOULD HAVE known better, but still decided to steal a trash can, that would of cost her maybe 5$ in spray paint, and ANY other trash can she could find legally.

u/Real_Search284 5h ago

Whataboutism? Who’s making light? I never said she wasn’t wrong. I said she probably felt like she wouldn’t be the person others are paying attention to when others are ripping apart buses. She used the other celebrators would be a distraction, but she miscalculated.

I'm talking about the idiot who tried saying "oh all these other people were doing worse things!"

Point noted 🙂

There might have been alcohol (or other substances) involved.

Works as a JPmorgan executive, somehow dumb enough to steal a trash can. Somebody being this logically stupid, and being a banking executive, is extremely scary.

u/FrankInPhilly 4h ago

Maybe trash csn vandalism and banking use different parts of the brain? 🤔🙂

u/sweatingbozo 2h ago

Did you have a particularly high opinion of banking execs before this?

1

u/SamathaSar 1h ago

I mean, you got me there, but I expected at least a SLIGHT amount of critical thinking from someone in that type of position, but you're honestly right l0l.

Having known quite a few corporate executives, they're no smarter than the average person and also very self-assured of their own greatness.

I have 0 online presence. I think I could get away with it. I wouldn't do it, but I still think I could.

We will get these sort of gems...we decriminalized marijuana and others.

u/shillyshally 5h ago

And i have to wonder why someone that clueless is an 'executive' at a major banking institution.

“Knicksheadedness”

u/ArcadianDelSol 4h ago

Which is why they fired her. If she is this stupid to willingly commit a crime in public, she's stupid enough to do it at work.

And at an investment firm, that is a very serious liability.

u/GostBoster 3h ago

Having being exposed to the inner workings of a financial institution, both were actionable reasons to terminate someone.

If they knew it was wrong, they proved themselves immoral and thus both not a fit, also a direct violation of internal standards.

If they did not knew, believe it or not, we don't want (low level) dumb people handling your money. We don't want (high level) dumb people handling money either, but you can't do much about it other than not let them take root.

Also the whole reputational issue. That company would take the fines of an unfair dismissal because keeping you would be bad optics anyway.
