BrownMan is concerned about his safety

The matter has been escalated from HR to ER. ER is Employee Relations Advice Connection, a corporate wide HR like body. BrownMan expressed his concern for safety. Since the matter became public it was important to protect the victim from the perpetrator of the crime. He did not recieve any reply. Note that BrownMan has added CEO's diversity statement in his signature

Hello Mariela,

Thanks for your note. Can we do it on 9/3 anytime or after. Please send me a meeting invite and I will call you from one of the conference rooms here. I have one major concern if you could answer now.

I am very uncomfortable in the workplace cubicle I am in, my manager is 2 cubicles behind me. Current situation is affecting my ability to concentrate on my work also. Is there some mechanism by which I can be accomodated some other work cubicle distant from the current one until this investigation is complete and the matter is settled. I know some companies have a policy about this, I could not find anything on this in JPMC's intranet site. Please let me know.

regards,
BrownMan

BrownMan,

Your grievance has been escalated to Employee Relations for further review as I have already reviewed and concluded the results of my investigation.
