Has Jamie Diamond caused anyone here to do a little self reflecting besides myself ?

Exactly. Gross. Do better.

OP here. What rude behavior some of you have ! So close minded and bigoted. I expected some insight and frankly a little compassion, not unchecked hate. That's precisely my issue with the democrat party now. Where are the nice people, where did they go ?

My post wasn't meant to be about my Son. It's about me rethinking several things that just hasn't made sense to me the last several years. Why can't we get along with everyone and try to see their side of the story. Why must we fight about everything. I feel all my neighbors and friends just want to be antagonistic politically and get us nowhere as a nation. I have been a democrat for almost 60 years but I'm beginning to think the moderate people like me needs to break away and form a new party without all the silliness.

You’re ridiculous. Why don’t you call his boss. You have no idea why he was passed over—I mean if he’s entitled as you it would be off-putting. Your DD couldn’t teach without a college degree, so that literally doesn’t make sense.

OP, I just want to say I feel and validate the hate you are receiving on this Board. I don’t get either other than you are tangential criticizing DEI, which I agree is rampant in large corporations.

But, the truck is on you. I would never buy a new model like this until it had 3-5 year track record, especially from Ford.

I have been reflecting on it a lot.

- Did it really make sense for me to encourage my daughter to pursue her interest in college and thereby get a useless degree that she can not find employment in ? Instead she had to fall back on teaching HS with dismal wages and scant possibilities of buying a home in the next 10 yrs. Why did I not try harder to encourage her to think about the job possibilities instead of being such a pushover. Her only hope is to get the student loans dismissed after public service.

- OTOH my Son with an advanced engineering degree and almost 10 yrs experience was recently passed over for promotion in lieu of a lesser qualified minority with only a BS from a second rate school and less than half his experience on the job. His company explicitly began hiring based on DEI a few yrs back. It's so infuriating that after $220,000 in student loans, mostly straight A's, dedicated and enthusiastic employee is being overlooked because he can't change his skin color. How can my son even compete ?

- My husband bought a new Ford EV truck and mid-size travel trailer in March. We own land near the beach in South Carolina that we were looking forward to visiting during the summer. It turned out to be like a comedy movie. What should have taken us 6 hours drive time turned into 14 hours after having to charge the battery 3 times. Why didn't the salesman tell us the extra tow weight would zapp the battery that much !! We were all so disgusted that we traded the truck in at Myrtle Beach for a regular gasoline engine for the trip home. I think all this climate talk and the EV rebates has gotten ahead of reality.

Yes. Democrats tend to see the world as they wish it was, whereas Republicans see it more realistically. That’s why they keep falling for ridiculous scams like Socialism, rehabilitation of hardened criminals, & thinking people can be trusted not to take advantage of government generosity. The result is sidewalks filled with homeless, sanctuary cities going in debt, criminal recidivism etc.

Which is very different from saying the op is WRONG.

You sound like a whiner who wants to blame everyone else for their bad decisions.

You know who doesn't tolerate whiners? Jamie Dimon.

I work in corporate america and I am surrounded by white men who are completely unremarkable in every single way possible, yet still they are all relatively successful.

Sounds like your kids are just ultra duds. Maybe they both cheated their way through college and have low emotional intelligence to boot.

Maybe your son is just a back room boy!

Sorry but it happens when you become an adult no one gives you a gold star just because you check one box.

I don’t value the opinion of an anyone who calls their friends idiots. What an $sshole.

I know people like him. They are not my friends. And they attribute everything they have to something they’ve done to deserve of while passing judgment on everyone else who had different circumstances. They give themselves far too much credit for everything good in their lives, and everyone else far too much blame for everything bad in their lives.

No. Insults and being name called doesn't cause me to self reflect

This is sort of the same point made in the new Abundance book. Worth thinking about.

A little off-today topic, but Dimon himself was passed over for promotion at Citigroup in the late 90s and actually asked to leave, which he promptly did to eventually become CEO of JPM. JPM is considered vastly superior to Citigroup, and has had much better stock market returns over the years. C basically went bankrupt in 2008 financial crisis, whereas JPM sailed right through.

OP, you might want to tell your son, Dimon’s whole story for some guidance.

Anymore with the amount of information that is available it has become abundantly clear that Democrats (you know the leadership) don't actually have big hearts. They know cold heartedly what they are doing when they manipulate people to believe that what they are doing is something noble.

Democrats have learned their lesson. No more “when they go low, we go high” BS.

DEI is “rampant in large corporations” because study after study after study has shown that DEI improves profitability. Period.
