Future thinking and societal change requires a different perspective which means different thinking. Which is completely different from “officialness” – manners vs etiquette. “With more than 240,000 staff working for JPMorgan, America’s biggest bank wants to ensure it hires people from across the societal spectrum, including those who have formerly been incarcerated. Speaking to LinkedIn, CEO Jamie Dimon reiterated his long-held view that skills are equally as important as education when it comes to finding the right candidate. And while hardships suffered previously in life may not be mentioned on a CV—while a Harvard business degree would be displayed proudly—Dimon said that doesn’t mean these experiences should be discounted in the hiring process. We got rid of ‘check the box’, and these are not hardened, violent criminals—but we’ve hired something like four or five thousand ex-felons, a lot of them are misdemeanors. It just shows you there’s a lot of talent out there.” J.P. Morgan https://lnkd.in/egi6U6dV

Advice to all beginners, stay away from these kind of people.

On April 1, 2024, Citibank announced that they were laying off 430 New York based employees. If you have been impacted by the layoff, you have legal options and it is critical to seek out the legal counsel of a New York severance agreement lawyer as soon as possible.

Reflecting on my 23-year journey with JPMorgan Chase, I am filled with pride and gratitude for the remarkable experiences and opportunities that have shaped my career. From the very beginning, my commitment to excellence have been the driving force behind my professional growth and contributions. For 13 of those 23 years, I had the privilege of working within the legal department, collaborating with some of the most talented and dedicated professionals in the industry. Together, we navigated complex legal landscapes, addressed regulatory challenges, and implemented innovative solutions to support the company's strategic goals. Our collaborative efforts not only strengthened JPMorgan Chase's legal framework but also set new standards of excellence within the mortgage financial sector. A significant aspect of my role, especially as the team lead of the research/intake area, was focused on elevating teams and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. I have always believed that the strength of an organization lies in its people, and I was dedicated to empowering and mentoring my colleagues. By providing guidance, sharing knowledge, and encouraging open communication, I helped cultivate a high-performing team that consistently delivered exceptional results. Unfortunately, in March 2023, my journey with JPMorgan Chase came to an unexpected end through massive layoffs. Despite this, I remain deeply appreciative of the experiences and the invaluable lessons learned during my time with the company. The mortgage and financial industries continue to evolve, presenting new challenges and opportunities, and I am excited about the future and the potential to contribute my expertise to new endeavors. As I look ahead, I remain committed to advancing and supporting the missions of organizations I engage with. My journey with JPMorgan Chase was a testament to the power of collaboration, resilience, and a shared vision for excellence, and I am honored to have been a part of this incredible organization for 23 years. - William J Harvey #GetOutAndDrive #CareerJourney #ProfessionalGrowth #Leadership #TeamBuilding #LegalExcellence #FinancialServices #MortgageIndustry #ContinuousImprovement #Mentorship #Resilience #NewOpportunities #CareerTransition #LegalProfession #TeamLeadership #Empowerment #Innovation #CareerDevelopment
