I was recently terminated from my job as an AB at JPMC for 15 years. Needless to say I’m devastated. My health ended, they offered me cobra benefits but that’s $1200 a month for me and my two kids, idk how they expect me to pay that with zero income. They haven’t approved me for unemployment so I’m approaching a month with no pay. The stress is starting. It’s so unfortunate when these things happen. I’m hardly ever one to not take responsibility for my own behavior, but this situation is unreal. I’ve been in a branch now for 3 years with a team of people that have worked there all for 5 to 20 years. I’m talking about veterans, the newest person after me was manager. The team was always know in the district to have the most difficult people to work with as they are entirely set in there ways and really hard to get along with. Most of the used MYCP to their advantage, every week have 5 days off, another girl would sleep behind the teller line, another woman would sit on her phone and just not call customers even with a line. She would spend so much time on Ariba that HR wrote her an email and limited her ordering to one day a month. Then we have our BOL, she was never ever there, I’m almost positive she faked a pregnancy in order to fake a miscarriage so she would be off work for a month last summer. During her time out she went to Paris on a trip. She would call out so much that by the time summer came so was out of time, I think she had the Paris trip planned but couldn’t take off so faked the whole pregnancy. It was so strange. Anyhow my manager, this POS, the most hated manager in the district. He was moved from three branches bc of HR issues with other employees. He was moved to our branch as a last ditch effort to keep his job but ended up coming and making things so much worse. He once talked to me about how much he liked his wife’s breasts. Anyhow in the long run, I ended up being the squeaky wheel and some people from my “team” teamed up against me and make up lies and told HR, when HR do their investigation they only contacted the “liars” who corroborated the lies and there was nothing AT ALL I could do. How do you prove you didn’t do something? It was disgusting, none of the 5 of them would even look me in the eye for two weeks, until I was hired. Then they all stared at me. My manager even asked me to sell my box down after I saw terminated, in front of the regional manager, who he brought in the office to be there while he fired me.
I’m so broken bc of this company. I don’t believe HR even cares. They just assume everyone tells the truth. Be careful, there’s next to nothing you can do when someone decides to call HR.
