Above is the résumé of the woman discussed in today’s earlier post. With this, I have no sympathy for JP Morgan at all. Or Angie, though it can’t be pleasant having your worst moments (or at least one of them) splashed all over the web.
I have done a lot of hiring in my time, and I have vetted a lot of résumés. That one would have set off all my “B.S.” alarms like the Chicago fire, and adding to the things I don’t understand about this mess is that Angie was hired in the first place. Her education credentials are beyond weak, and the stated markers of skill and accomplishment are pure puffery. In cases like this, not only should the employee be fired but whoever hired her should be dumped too. All right, I’ve sometimes taken a flier on applicants who seem to have a certain spark, “un je ne sais quoi” as the French say when they aren’t too hot, and I’ve suffered for it on occasion. However, when someone gets a job and the hiring supervisor says, “OK, I’m going to take a leap of faith with you, but you better not let me down,” that employee has to be on notice that, for example, engaging in public theft during basketball fan riot is not consistent with the admonition. If ever a hire pulsed with a DEI-hire-to-fill-a-DEI-job vibe, this is it.
Meanwhile, JP Morgan seems to have a bit of a culture problem with its personnel decisions, no? Have you been following this story, the viral lawsuit by a JP Morgan employee who alleges that his JP Morgan manager, 37-year-old Lorna Hajdini, drugged him and turned him into a sex slave?

This “Executive Director” looks like a much better match for the sex slave guy than the VP…
if you cannot answer the following question succinctly then your resume is bullshit: “what did you produce after your first cup of office coffee?”
How many companies have hired thin resumes because of the pressure to populate their DEI departments? Good riddance.
Like I told my son. “It’s not what you know, but who.” That is reality. When you wonder why someone got hired, it’s probably due to a favor.
Well, the WSJ isn’t pulling any punches:
“The Lurid Lawsuit, Salami Scandal and Trash-Can Thief Vexing JPMorgan’s PR Department”

The case in your last paragraph is absolute BS. It doesn’t pass the smell test. The dude is mentally unstable and has been dumped by his lawyer. I hope she counter-sues and wins, although he is likely judgement proof.
I also try to not be lookist, but the dude looks like one of the characters in Penguins of Madagascar.
I’d also heard the sex slave case was imploding.
Well, they both are Morgan employees, so the company is tarnished whatever the truth is.
Well, J.P. Morgan was fined almost $1 billion by regulators for rigging the metals markets, then almost immediately allowed to buy some of their competitors in the metals market to increase their monopoly share by the same regulators. So, what do you expect?
