JPMorgan Chase refused to confirm or deny that employees of the global banking giant were asked in a recent survey about their sexual orientation and whether they are “an ally of the LGBT community.” At least two Chase bank employees have said they were asked such questions, and one said employees’ identification numbers appeared on the returned surveys. JPMorgan Chase spokeswoman Jaclyn D’Aversa told The Daily Signal on Monday evening that the survey was “completely voluntary and anonymous.” She refused to talk about the content or how many employees received the survey.
. . . The whistleblower added: “This survey was not anonymous. You had to enter your employee ID.”So what's this all about? Here's my guess: Chase knows that any business that deals with the public in any way is only one incident away from a major public relations nightmare in the event someone says or does the wrong thing in the eyes of the gay mafia. A bakery doesn't want to make a gay wedding cake? A photographer doesn't want to shoot a gay wedding? Your prospective customers don't just go and find someone else. That's not how it works. They file a complaint with the civil rights commission and turn you into the latest poster child for "hate" and "bigotry" and whatever else they decide to call it. Chase probably figures that if anyone on staff is not down with the gay agenda, they'd be better off knowing about it. But then . . . what? Do you start moving them out of positions where they deal with the public? Do you put them through "sensitivity training"? It's telling that Chase felt the need to claim the survey was anonymous, and equally telling that it apparently is not anonymous at all. You can't ask your employees their religious or political affiliations, but apparently you can ask them this, and they are. If you work for Chase and you are committed to living according to God's Word, I'd be looking for a new job if I were you.
