Shameful.

Exclusive | Grinches at JP Morgan double down on refusal to pay widow's pension: 'No change'

Devil's Advocate:

1. How is DImon's salary relevant to whether or not widow is entitled to $53k?
2. If widow is not legally entitled to $53k, should she get it just because there are other employees at JPM making piles of cash?
3. Are other employees at JPM worth what they are being paid? Who gets to decide that? What relevance does that have to legal claims against the company?

It seems to me that the media is framing this in typical oppressor/oppressed fashion whereas that is not really relevant to the case. Obviously, JPM's legal dept reviewed this extensively and determined the widow was not entitled. If they made an exception just to be charitable, it would probably open them up to tons of similar claims.
