JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon recently sold 1 million shares of the company, sparking speculation about his retirement. Wells Fargo analyst Mike Mayo predicts Dimon will retire in about three and a half years. If Dimon stays until 2026, he has a board-approved bonus of 1.5 million options waiting for him, contingent on the stock price reaching $149. Dimon has never sold shares of JPMorgan before, and CEOs often sell stock ahead of retirement. Potential successors include several JPMorgan executives.

However, due to ongoing lawsuits, the company decided to reduce and withhold substantial bonuses. The company managed to retrieve A$8.4 million in share-based bonuses that Joyce had acquired during the year but was not permitted to sell at the moment. There is also a possibility of reclaiming unvested stock bonuses for Joyce, currently valued at A$6 million.

The High Court of Australia ruled that Qantas Airways Ltd (OTC:QABSY) violated the law when it terminated the employment of 1,700 ground staff members and replaced them with contracted workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The court stated that Qantas violated industrial law as it undermined the unionized employees' rights to engage in industrial action and collectively bargain. The ruling follows public outrage against the airline, leading to its CEO's early retirement after an antitrust lawsuit accused the airline of selling tickets for canceled flights.
