WallStreetDiscriminates has a new look. If you aren’t seeing it, you might need to clear your browser history.
When we launched in December, 2025, the goal was simple: create a safe place for people to share their experiences facing workplace discrimination and, in doing so, uncover patterns that are impossible to see when everyone believes what happened to them happened in isolation and NDAs exist as an effective silencing mechanism.
The response has been extraordinary. To date, we’ve published 397 stories. And while 64% of them are about Citi, WallStreetDiscriminates was never intended to be about one company. It was built to expose patterns across an industry.
And there is plenty left to talk about.
The EEOC received more than 88,000 new discrimination charges in FY2024, an increase of more than 9% in a single year. Among the discrimination cases, sex discrimination was the most frequently alleged basis. Meanwhile, nearly two-thirds of workers over 50 say they have seen or experienced age discrimination at work.
These aren’t isolated incidents. Discrimination is a feature not a bug.
So consider this an invitation. If you’ve experienced discrimination, retaliation, bias or other troubling workplace conduct at a financial-services firm, we want to hear your story. The more firms represented here, the more useful this collection becomes—and the harder it is to dismiss recurring experiences as one disgruntled employee, one bad manager or one unfortunate incident.
Today, we are also delighted to announce the launch of a sister site Tech Discriminates, built on the same premise for people working in technology. For those unaware of what’s happening in the tech industry:
*Palantir: Employees have increasingly raised concerns internally about the company’s work with ICE and other government agencies. In January, one employee wrote internally, “In my opinion ICE are the bad guys.” More than 200 employees had previously signed a letter raising concerns about Palantir’s ICE work.
*Meta: Just last week, Meta agreed to pay up to $18 billion to settle litigation brought by states and territories alleging Facebook and Instagram were designed in ways that addict and harm children.
*Meta employees: In July, 26 Meta employees sued the company, alleging its layoff practices disproportionately targeted employees who had taken protected pregnancy, parental, medical or caregiving leave.
*Meanwhile, databases attribute more than 100 portfolio companies attributed to Peter Thiel, a man who cannot answer the question about “whether humanity should exist” with a straight yes answer. His capital and network now reach across a remarkable swath of the modern technology industry.
The bigger point: Tech companies aren’t simply workplaces. They build systems that increasingly influence what society looks and operates like. If you have friends or colleagues in tech, please share the site with them and encourage them to tell their stories. Our friends at techdiscriminates will have more to share in the coming weeks.
At the heart of this work is a pretty simple belief: people deserve to be treated fairly at work, and when they aren’t, they deserve a meaningful path to justice. Neither should be controversial.
