Jamie Dimon Headed To Japan

By Bess Levin

According to an email circulating from Christopher Harvey, JPMorgan’s “Senior Country Officer in Japan,” to colleagues.

When I walked into the packed Sky Hall at lunchtime today and heard applause, I briefly thought it might be for me. Turns out it was for the hundred pizzas coming in behind me! Thanks to Jamie and Judy Dimon for the longest-distance pizza delivery in history. And someone definitely violated the two-slice rule.

‎​Colleagues from around the globe are heading here to pitch in. In addition to Jamie, we will be seeing Matt Zames, Kevin Willsey, Paul Compton, Trevor Murphy, and a few others who are now booking their trips. In addition to keeping them very busy in the office and with clients let’s make sure to show them our great city.

‎​Finally I met this evening with one of our teammates directly affected by the tsunami. He and his brother continue to supporrt their mother as all three work with local authorities to search for their father and grandfather. We gave him water, food, batteries and a hug. If only we could give hime what he and his family are looking for.

    “let’s make sure to show them our great city”

    Based on this, I’ll infer the “free peep?” guys wandering around Tokyo will be busy showing Mr. Dimon and his minions all the best places.

    I’m sure he’ll be looking for exciting new ways to profit from the disaster while making sure everyone else gets screwed. He’s that kind of guy.

    It was wrong of Christopher Harvey to tell the whole office what one guy received as a bonus.

    Any chance this is connected to the Reuters story on a potential bank holiday?

    Personal to Jamie:

    Thanks for the thought, but seriously you’ll just be in the way. Eating the limited amount of food, drinking the limited amount of water. Just don’t.

    Throw your wallet, supplies, and Red Cross staff on your jet and stay out of their way. When things are under control, stop by for a beer.

    If only the world followed in Dimon’s footsteps and sent pizza to Japan, all would be well. So what’s the Libyan office getting? Chicago style hotdogs?
