JPMorgan Chase Asks Staff to Identify If They’re LGBT ‘Allies’: Employees

JPMorgan Chase Bank is forcing employees to inform them whether they are “LGBT” or an “ally of the LGBT community”

Written by Dustin Siggins | Tuesday, July 8, 2014

In response to the fifth option, George’s friend said, “What?! What kind of question was that? An ‘ally’ of that community? What’s the alternative if you don’t select that option? You’re not a ally of the LGBT community?”….“The message to all employees is perfectly clear: You are expected to fall into line with the approved and required thinking,” he wrote. “Nothing short of assent is acceptable. Silent dissent will no longer be permitted.”

 

NEW YORK — JPMorgan Chase Bank is forcing employees to inform them whether they are “LGBT” or an “ally of the LGBT community,” according to Princeton Professor Robert George.

At the Mirror of Justice blog, George posted an email he received from a friend employed by the company relating that there were some unusual new questions on their recent annual Employee Survey.

The survey asked employees if they fit into any of the following categories:

  1. A person with disabilities;
  2. A person with children with disabilities;
  3. A person with a spouse/domestic partner with disabilities;
  4. A member of the LGBT community;
  5. An ally of the LGBT community, but not personally identifying as LGBT.

In response to the fifth option, George’s friend said, “What?! What kind of question was that? An ‘ally’ of that community? What’s the alternative if you don’t select that option? You’re not a ally of the LGBT community?”

“This survey wasn’t anonymous. You had to enter your employee ID,” he added. “The worry among many of us is that those who didn’t select that poorly placed, irrelevant option will be placed on the ‘you can fire these people first’ list.”
