Your feel-good story of the day, from the New York Post,
Woman who emptied Knicks trashcan on street— then stole it — fired from JPMorgan Chase, was DEI exec.
Of course she was. You may have seen the video posted right after the New York Knicks championship victory parade last week.
The Post reports,
A woman caught on video emptying a public trash can on the street then stealing it during New York City’s Knicks championship parade was a director at JPMorgan Chase who was fired Tuesday over the incident, The Post has learned.
Angie Báez, 40, was promoted to Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement for Card and Connected Commerce at JPMorgan Chase more than a year ago, according to her LinkedIn profile.
She previously served as Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at New York-based review website The Infatuation, which Chase acquired as part of its broader push into lifestyle and experiential content.
I reread that last sentence several times and still have no idea what it means. The Post article includes a photo taken later of Baez riding home on the subway with her newly-acquired branded souvenir.
I hope it was worth it!
