Story 63 – Non-threatening ‘token’ women who will play the game = tale as old as time!!
I’ve witnessed the women who flirt, don’t stand up for other women, don’t have an opinion and consistently pacify the men as they twiddles their hair and walk around looking ‘busy’ but don’t do much. They give women a bad name and frankly allow open the door to the behavior we see in all of these stories – JP Morgan Equities and Citi potentially the worst.

I left the industry when I realized the men around the table only wanted me if i organized client social events and executed admin tasks while they did ‘big boy business’.

    Story 287, I am deeply moved and saddened by your story. It’s long past time this country has a conversation about the erosion of corporate ethics and the rise of corporate greed. There was a time when corporations saw themselves as part of the community. They built products, created careers, and invested in the towns…

    To the community, I’ve been reading the stories here for some time, and like many of you, I recognize the patterns. Most recently from Stories 331, 327 and 324, but there are many others. While our individual experiences may not strictly be the same, and each deserves to stand on its own terms, I think…

    For years, I spent my time updating strategy—working to align with each new corporate mantra, asking to be integrated into the organization with every restructuring. It was clear that much thought had gone into what the “new” organization was supposed to represent. Each time, I searched for where my team fit in the design. We…
