Like most here, I am no stranger to working for inappropriate managers, and I wouldn’t normally waste time with HR. But after enduring nearly a year of well-documented and bizarre retaliation following the reporting of a sensitive client risk issue at another global wealth management firm, I am still a deer in headlights from the…
