There’s a really easy way to fix that problem

It’s called a redistribution of wealth 🤷‍♂️

The ultimate world of ‘other’!

I can speak from direct personal knowledge: Jamie Dimon was like this when he was 30 and not particularly rich. More money just feeds the victimhood gene these guys carry until it metastasizes in the Musks/Thiels/Bezoses/Dimons et al.

I propose that once every year, the richest person on earth gets thrown into a volcano. Then the next richest person has 365 days to make sure they aren't on top. This should set off a reverse "arms race" between the richest few people on earth to spend as much money as humanly possible

😂🤣 YES! Why aren't you running for office?

The latter.

Musk is probably more obvious due to his self-admitted ketamine addiction.

jmidnight.bsky.social•3 days ago

So the guy who made $39 million in 2024 is bitching about working seven days a week while others making a fraction of that don't show up every day of the year? Seems like a guy I'd not like to work for.

Damn. Here I was thinking jamie was kinda chill.

Sounds like Dimon should hold whoever has been running JPM for the last decade+ accountable

Amen

We all live in some bubble but damn some people live in a bubble of hate. So much anger.

Also a good example of people that have their whole social circle at work. If there is no one in office on Sunday he sees no people on Sunday it seems

johncastiglione.bsky.social•3 days ago

Things that are definitely true: 1. no one at JPM picks up when Jaime Dimon calls, and 2. Jamie Dimon is humping at his desk 7 days a week, 9 hours a day.

Classic DARVO. Also a favorite technique of domestic abusers and sex offenders.

cgrein.bsky.social•3 days ago

And let’s just be real, a CEO “working” 7 days per week is vastly differently than other employees working 7 days per week. Even 7 days per week doesn’t justify his $39 million salary. Doing the math, he’s making $107,000 per day. Is anyone really worth that per day? 🙄

I think about this a lot because trying to be charitable of other people's motivations is important. When you are as insulated from ordinary people as billionaires tend to be, even with good intentions, it is difficult to understand what's happening out here and the sort of struggles people face.

robertcadena.bsky.social•3 days ago

"working" - ceo's don't work. their only stress is when a task is not done before the, usually, unrealistic deadline one of their lackeys said it could be done in.

wrygrin.bsky.social•3 days ago

In certain people, wealth accumulation is an addiction, the equal to any psychological addiction. There is no "enough", there is only "more". Like any addiction, they cannot see the harm they do to themselves or others. Like any addiction, the desire to change must come from within.

It’s no secret now that the bulk of JPMorgan Chase’ investment is in commercial real estate. Kinda need people in the buildings for the buildings to hold value. JD can eat a dick.

sevilleoz.bsky.social•3 days ago

"Everybody else" is not earning what Dimon earns, so, hell yeah - HE should be in the office seven days a week. Don't expect the people earning 1% of what he earns to put in these hours! Fuck that!

This is also their final form, a lot of these kind of rich dickheads basically think it is their god given right to rule the world even before the digital age and tech boom that created guys like Elon.

mmt-enjoyer.bsky.social•3 days ago

Perhaps Mr Dimon could benefit from a bit of time off...

aurelius2k5.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah. Getting that riled up in your 70s can't be good for your blood pressure.

While billionaires exist, we will never be free.

It also shows their inability to even conceptualize their own work. All of them are against remote work, nearly all of them do remote work and work from home.

Like, truly who is not answering a call from Jamie Dimon period much less Friday? Who is this person?

sourball.bsky.social•3 days ago

gee Jamie, maybe you work 7 days a week because you are handsomely compensated and addicted to your greed.

if you want people to work more, perhaps it's time you pay them what they are worth, not what the fuck you can get away with you greedy fucknut.

huntnjade.bsky.social•3 days ago

💯❤️

jax225.bsky.social•3 days ago

Also, some of them want recession because they think it will knock workers down a peg - make us grateful we even have a job and we’ll stop asking for raises, time off, work/life balance, a living wage…a life outside of serving their interests

And then there’s the ketamine

Jamie Dimon? Whose bank got a $25 billion bailout in 2008?

no1lion99.bsky.social•3 days ago

People aren’t paying attention on Zoom, or Teams because in many cases they are quadruple booked and have 86 things to do all day every day due to being chronically understaffed.

Jamie Dimon is a whining piece of dog shit.

revenergetica.bsky.social•3 days ago

Is it mandatory the ** in half of the words? If pretends that we don't understand the word it fails. We understood. If doesn't pretend that we don't understand the word, then is useless. And, on top of that, we all are adults.
