[ BrownMan's second attempt to get his voice heard ]

Subject: PLEASE READ - CONFIDENTIAL - REPUTATIONAL RISK
Dear Sirs,
I am writing this and seeking your attention again. Let me begin this letter with our CEO's diversity statement
"Building a workplace where differences are respected and valued is critical to our future. We have an amazing opportunity in front of us to build the best financial services company in the world. Achieving this depends on having the best people doing their best work. For us, the business case is simple: JPMorgan Chase is a place for talented people from all backgrounds and nationalities. Gender, race, sexual orientation, age and physical ability are just some of the kinds of differences that make people unique — and give us the diversity of perspective that will set us apart. We're committed to ensuring that diversity remains a key priority...our collective diversity is our strength." – Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO, JPMorgan Chase
Now those words should be constantly reverberating in our heads as you read my letter.
A month ago I started a journey towards getting justice for the injustice meted out to me. I had written my first letter to the HR about the prejudices/racism that I had endured during my 2 year tenure at JPMC. When those characteristics exhibited by my manager became detrimental in judging my abilities it reached an inflection point and I could not endure it anymore. I reported this to HR in a letter seeking help. The solution I was seeking was simple – assign me a different work group with a different manager and let the current manager be disciplined appropriately per my complaint.
After 3 weeks HR said they were done with the investigation. When the results were shared with me verbally I sensed they were lacking objectivity and transparency. Final communication from HR was to carry on with status quo. Hence I wrote them a 2nd letter expressing my concerns. In between I was hinted to resign on my own. I had by then escalated this matter to top tier management, including CEO. A lady from Brian Fay's team called me only to discuss but nothing changed. Concerns from my 2nd letter were not addressed at all. I have written yet another letter to HR, the 3rd.
In summary, I have been stonewalled, arm-twisted, asked to shut up and move on.
Please read my attached letters and do the needed. Thank you.
Regards,
BrownMan
