Looking at an Mid-Senior Role
Can anyone shed light on the culture in Plano? Does the company operate in silos? What does the day to day look like?
Company culture at JPM changes you
I found myself having to do and say things I would have never done or said before for trying to fit in with the right people. If I don't, I know I'll end up stuck with no chance of career advancement. But when I do it, I realize I'm becoming somebody... — read more
Calling ALL CCS’s MUST READ
I’m in Fl ~ pay attention…. There is at least 1 team in each location they are getting 40-70 loans per ccs, (no dedicated HLa’s) while 80% of everyone else has 0-7 loans per CCS. Take a look. Guess we know who are the favorites “favorites” & are... — read more
Commercial Real Estate
Interviewing for a for a role in the commercial real estate department in Plano. What’s the culture/management like in this group? Flexibility on the 2 days work from home? Lots of overtime required?
Layoffs

JPM added 18k net new employees in past year
I just saw in the quarterly earnings. That's NET employees, after replacing all the departures. My question is, what are these 18K net new people doing that were not backfilling old positions? I don't see any excess headcount anywhere around me... — read more

Manager movement
Can anyone tell me how a manager from a totally different department is qualified to manage a team or teams in a new department in which they know nothing about ?
Q2 earnings
Whatever I read, it's not good news. Some analysts are already making price-target cuts and others are poised to follow. My biggest concern is how this will affect employees if the results are even worse than expected. Could we be looking at another... — read more
Papa Diamond still hasn’t learned
Still tries to enforce implementing ID tracking. Still didn’t learn that the harder you hold a grip on the sand, the easier and less sand you will left in your hand https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jpmorgan-chase-staffers-complain-being-192241949.html — read more
Chase was not this bad before
What happened? It was a decent place to work for years and then suddenly it completely changed. Now it feels like it's in a competition for the most toxic work environment and culture, along with managers. I can't help but think it's strange how... — read more
I transferred to Cards, but
all I get to do is collections on defaulted accounts. I had no idea the group was so bad. I need to leave asap.
Please, bring on the layoffs
Every time I keep hoping to see that my name is on that list and I keep getting disappointed. I want out. I'm done with this place. I have been done for a while. But I want them to pay me to leave, after everything I've had to put up with in my... — read more
What would raise morale here?
I don't think there are many realistic options. My morale would only improve by me getting out of here.
Lay Offs Next Week? (Home Lending)
Someone commented in one of threads below that there are more lay offs coming next week. Anybody hear anything??
Call on Weds June 19th with Head of Mortgage
So Sean G. finally addresses those remaining. He seemed rushed and unprepared. No real focus to the call, but it definitely seemed like a warning call that the business this time around is a real problem (it is) and with the competition and state... — read more
What part of the company is most vulnerable to layoffs after home lending?
If the criterion is, as they say, the sudden and big drop in the volume of business, then I know for a fact that many other parts of the company are also facing a big drop. What could be the part of the company that is in most danger of layoffs... — read more
Employees on Leave
How would a person on leave know if they’re going to be laid off when they return?
I have my wife to leave because....there is no work life balance there.
They walk all over her. She is covering her desk, plus 4 people who are out sick in addition to assuming some of the responsibilities of 2 people recently let go. The new supervisor keeps telling her can you stay later? Later than the 10 hours she... — read more
Severance Package
If I am reading this correctly, they are giving 10 weeks minimum pay. Am I correct? Pay to august 6th and if I don’t find a job with in the form an another 4 weeks….
I took this layoff very hard
Now I regret that I even tried to do my best here. How do you feel after being informed that you are no longer needed here? I hope to find something else soon, but Chase will not be a fond memory because I think the way these layoffs were... — read more
Did anyone figure out the method of the madness?
Now that layoffs are happening and now that most of us (who were not affected yet) managed to see them first hand, could anybody tell if there was any pattern to the layoffs in terms of what group of employees got cut. Are we talking mostly about... — read more
Moving to different divisions
I’m not affected, or at least not yet. How many people have been moved to different divisions? I believe that in most cases it is a big downgrade, am I wrong?
software engineers fired?
Any software people getting fired? been hearing alot of firings but not sure what positions
Now that the layoffs are over
Take a deep breath and relax...until the next week when there'll most likely be more. And then the next week and the week after that. If you think this is done, you are incredibly naive. This is just a start and we'll be seeing much more of the same... — read more
Bank branch HLA’s
Any word on how they’re faring?
Are we done with Mortgage layoffs?
Do you think this is it? Or, do you think they (execs/mgmt) will be back at it once they realize that the recession is worse than expected and that nobody is getting mortgage / refi any more? I have exposure to our weekly #s and it's not looking good... — read more

So whoever’s left and not laid off do we go to credit cards? Or just back to normal until it’s our turn next this isn’t getting better anytime soon imo
Mortgage applications fell to a 22-year low last month!!!
It'll get even worse. Mortgage applications fell to a 22-year low last month, the management is reacting right now. If they raise interest rates for two additional percent (they will have to in order to tame inflation) you'll be looking at 7% or 8%... — read more
