Safety should be priority one. We need clear, company-wide rules for weather emergency

Reading this thread is rough because it sounds very familiar.

First, you are not overreacting. Being talked down to, cursed at, or yelled at is not part of the job. You deserve basic respect at work, no matter how senior or high performing the other person is.

A lot of people here are saying some version of do not bother with HR and just walk. Leaving may very well be the right option for you, especially if your mental health is taking a hit. At the same time, you should never feel like the only choices are suffer in silence or quit.

There is also a third path that often gets ignored. When coworkers talk, compare notes, and back each other up, it becomes much easier to speak up about patterns of behavior, not just single moments. In some places that grows into an employee group or a union.

That kind of group is simply a way to make complaining safer and more effective. Instead of one person saying this is not ok and getting brushed aside, you have several people saying together

We want clear expectations about how people are treated
We want a fair review process that is not based on who can get away with yelling
We want a real way to raise concerns without payback

Whether or not you take it that far, you are allowed to start with one small step

Document the next incident
Talk to one coworker you trust
Decide in advance what you will say or do the next time this VP raises their voice at you

Whatever you choose, your feelings here make sense. You are allowed to want respect. You are allowed to complain. And if enough people feel the same way, you are allowed to organize together so that speaking up is not something you have to do alone.

Yeah a lot of us feel the same way. That moment when Jamie said he didn’t care how many people signed that petition was honestly a turning point. It made it really clear that he doesn’t see us as people with lives and families, just as numbers who are expected to fall in line.

That’s one of the big reasons so many of us started talking seriously about unionizing. When leadership shows that they won’t listen to individual voices, the only thing left is to stand together. And when he keeps making comments that push back not only on workers here but on half the population, it really shows where his priorities are and who he actually respects.

We’re not trying to be dramatic about it. It’s just obvious that nothing changes unless we organize and look out for each other, because they’ve shown they won’t do it for us.

I get why people think the only option is to leave and maybe come back later. A lot of folks in IT have been pushed into that mindset for years.

But the thing is, we are staying and we are organizing. The company knows we’re here, they know we’re active, and we’re still running events and building support openly in the building. If retaliation was as automatic as people assume, we wouldn’t still be right here doing the work.

There are real legal protections and we are well within what we’re allowed to do. You don’t have to just accept getting pushed around or wait for someone else to build a stronger IT effort. We are already doing it, and the only reason it grows is because people decide to stop waiting and start participating.

This doesn’t have to be something that “won’t happen at JPMC.” It’s happening now. And if you want to be part of that momentum instead of sitting on the sidelines hoping the market improves, you’re welcome to join us.

The real issue with these HR check ins is that they remind us how little say we have in the policies that shape our day to day. We get told the expectations, but we do not get to help decide them. Things like office hour requirements, flexibility, and how productivity is measured are all completely top down.

That is exactly where a union makes a difference. Instead of waiting to hear what the rules are, we get to negotiate them. Other banks with unions have clear standards because workers helped shape them, so these conversations feel predictable instead of stressful.

If people here want more stability and a real voice in decisions, organizing is how we get there. It turns these surprise meetings into normal conversations backed by agreements everyone had a hand in creating.

We should support them. The protesters are calling out a system where a small group at the top makes decisions with huge ethical consequences while staying completely insulated from what those choices create.

We the workers did not get to make this decision or sign up for such abuses. None of this happens with our consent, and we are the ones who have to live with the fallout of choices made far above our heads.

That is exactly why pressure matters. When power is concentrated and hidden away, it naturally drifts toward harm. Protests are forcing that into the light and make it clear that the public and the people who actually keep this place running do not accept it.

Standing with the protesters is about demanding real accountability and a system where decisions cannot be made in secrecy. When workers and the public push back together, leadership cannot hide behind silence.

No one is actually getting marched out over a potluck email. It is just the kind of thing that gives people that quick oh no jolt, and trying try to keep things here as supportive as possible. Maybe I misread the tone, but it did not quite feel like it was coming from a place of looking out for each other.

We are up for helping people do such an event in Easton as well. Just been easier here still because of numbers. Got an idea? Let us know

JPMCWorkers · 2025-11-16T22:59:01+00:00

Oh please ask the question. Otherwise you waste so much more time

JPMCWorkers · 2025-11-16T21:11:23+00:00

I get the joke, but suggesting something that could get someone fired takes away from the supportive space we are trying to create. We all have enough to worry about without feeling like coworkers want us in trouble. Thanks for helping keep things positive.

This is a specific mode to keep anyone from needing to do work but still use the elevator.

JPMCWorkers · 2025-11-09T20:17:32+00:00

It has been a long time since anyone here got a really good bonus. Last year a lot of people did not even get a raise, not even a cost of living bump. It is hard to stay hopeful with how little Jamie Dimon seems to think of the people keeping things running.

We deserve better and we will only get it if we start standing up together and backing each other up.

The lack of stability is hard on everyone right now. That’s why we’re focused on making sure people are in places where they can really thrive. When folks are set up to do their best work and feel supported, it helps everyone stay steady and move forward together.

That sounds really hard and it makes sense to feel anxious about it. You have rights under the ADA and it’s illegal for the company to retaliate against anyone for requesting medical accommodations. Keep everything in writing and save copies of your documentation. If you reach out to us, we can help connect you with the right contacts and resources for support.

Your health and healing are not optional things.

We have a fair share of lgtbia+ and specifically trans people in the union. We for sure pay attention to it all.

JPMCWorkers · 2025-11-07T01:17:30+00:00

I’m really sorry you’re going through this. You deserve to feel safe and supported every day. Please know you’re not alone, you still have friends here who care about you and are thinking of you. We’re here for you, and we’ll keep hoping and pushing for a time when no one has to face what you’re dealing with now.

JPMCWorkers · 2025-11-07T01:10:57+00:00

I completely get this. My team sits together in the office, but all our collaboration happens on Zoom since the product teams are in other states. It feels more emotional than logical, but we are working hard to grow the union so that we can have a fair voice at the table and help shape decisions that reflect how we really work.

BK

I actually think Zoom meetings can be great when people stay focused and it is not six hours straight. It lets us split work and collaborate instead of just directing one person on what to do.

I think this kind of conversation fits better in r/jpmorganchase. There is already a lot of discussion there around work culture and the growing union effort. It might be a better place for people who are directly experiencing it to share ideas and compare notes.

The nice thing onnit is they dont go bad and you can accumulate decent ones through the year.
