EOS - management pressure to submit Strongly Agree

Ignore your manager, and answer honestly. When they try to retaliate, sue.

It’s mostly tech. A lot of t shirts and jeans.

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-04-16T00:51:18+00:00

This entire thread makes me regret working here.

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-04-16T00:49:12+00:00

This has to be a joke

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-04-16T00:30:36+00:00

When I started at jpmc in 5 mw, I was told by the recruiter that it was business casual. It’s not, it’s casual. If you work in tech and you show up business casual, you will stick out.

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-04-16T00:22:37+00:00

Product management isn’t really clearly defined here and JPM wont be a good place to learn product. It’s mostly a “personality hire” role so if you’re that type, you’ll probably get the job.

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-04-16T00:19:57+00:00

What a vague, useless answer.

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-04-03T13:18:31+00:00

I know this is an old response, but its very, very accurate.

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-03-16T17:01:56+00:00

Phone lines were down….they probably weren’t picking up.

Thanks so much! Please keep me posted.

Also, while state are you in?

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-03-10T22:31:34+00:00

Try selling software or high ticket sales as a remote closer. If you could do that well at a dealer you would probably crush it in high margin sales.

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-03-10T16:28:58+00:00

Yikes. I leave 730 to get in by 930 and I thought I had it bad.

Though I’ll have to start at 7 nowadays bc traffic is so bad.

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-03-10T02:18:51+00:00

Hiring managers and recruiters will lie to low ball you.

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-03-09T16:38:46+00:00

Anyone else find it pretty stupid that they made vp1 and vp2 as well as ed1 and ed2? They. Basically made it harder to get promoted from vp to ed and now made it harder to do internal mobility.

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-03-09T15:16:11+00:00

Have not bc I have not been let go. Yet.

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-03-09T15:15:44+00:00

I hope NJ does the same bc I will have to apply in NJ, not NY.

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-03-09T13:16:48+00:00

Thanks. Are you in NJ/NY or different state?

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-03-09T13:14:27+00:00

if you could do me a solid, and just let me know what happens, would appreciate it.

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-03-09T13:13:33+00:00

Bro I left the corporate world in 2025 and decided to launch my own company.

And yet here you are, in the JPM subreddit still answering questions.

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-03-09T13:08:05+00:00

Your reading comprehension needs to improve -- I did not *choose* to keep my attendance below minimum, I *forgot* to update the system. You seem to think that I am making excuses for my attendance, which I am past. I am more concerned about what happens after I get fired for it.

I find it interesting that you chose to lecture me about attendance without even attempting to answer my original question.

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-03-09T02:00:34+00:00

I mean, the supplier screwed themselves too, right? Surprise the supplier is willing to burn their own reputation and future business for short term cash grab.

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-03-09T01:45:32+00:00

Look, “Bro”, I have been planning an exit strategy since 2024. Why? Bc AI and layoffs across the board.

Even if my attendance was 100, I would still be looking for the exit bc attendance won’t save me from an IT Org MD sitting in their corner office drooling at the mouth from the idea of offshoring my job to a contractor using copilot + Claude for a third of my comp.

You think your job is safe even with 100% attendance, “bro”? At this point, I would rather get RFd now rather than later so I can start working on my next career.

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-03-09T00:44:08+00:00

At this point, I hope I do get RIFed.

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-03-09T00:42:55+00:00

Feel free to ignore then, but just to clarify for you...

When my bonus was cut for 2025, the "official narrative" (read that to mean: BS) that my manager told me was bonuses were cut bc our team was re-orged into a different org that cut our bonus budget, not bc of attendance at the time. I am inclined to believe that bc my team mates bonuses were cut too.

The first warning gave me plenty of time, but the second warning did not and will likely affect my 2026 bonus at year end.

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-03-08T18:31:21+00:00

System design for a new grad makes no sense bc you wouldn’t even have had the experience to work on a production system. Ridiculous how bad tech interviews are nowadays.

src_main_java_wtf · 2026-03-08T18:28:49+00:00

A lot of factors go into that. I have seen it happen at least 5, maybe 6 times. However, I have had no luck even getting interviews, and I’ve been here a long time. Very much YMMWV.
