Just one day after JPMorgan told roughly 1,000 First Republic Bank workers that their positions would be eliminated, the news of the most recent 500 job cutbacks broke. After the US government seized the regional bank with headquarters in San Francisco, JPMorgan bought First Republic Bank earlier this month.
First Republic Bank, a US-based institution, was shut down by local regulators on May 1 and, in an effort to safeguard depositors, entered into a deal with JPMorgan Chase Bank to buy and assume all of the ailing bank’s deposits and assets.
