During the pandemic I decided that I would apply for a $50,000AUD loan for my business to lock down some IP and trademarks. I didn’t want to crimp my cash flow but felt as I was working from home this was a good time to get some delayed Admin processed. I saw my bank manager…
Over the course or my career, I have been consistently harassed by men, undermined by leaders, passed up for promotions despite being given additional work and responsibilities. My contributions were always expected and I wasn never allowed room for mistakes whereas my male colleagues were praised for the bare minimum. My looks and demeanor were…
I was pregnant and was the only person to have ever been pregnant at the dba that I worked at under Northwestern Mutual. I was told that there was no maternity leave policy and while helping my boss with something on his computer I found a folder with all of the dates of my doctors…
I worked for a small firm that was bought last year by a large bank. During the transition period, I was informed that my title and responsibilities would be “changing.” I was then demoted from an Associate back to an Analyst and told this was a policy that was “standard” and “would apply across the…

Fear of retaliation, fear of attaching my name to something that could have consequences for my career. I am a current employee based in Florida and have worked on the Technology side of…
In my 20s, while working on a sales team at Morgan Stanley, I experienced repeated sexual harassment that became normalized. A well-known external wholesaler made unwanted advances toward me for months. At a firm-hosted event, he forcefully pulled me into a room, kissed and touched me until I pushed him off and left. The next…
My female relative worked at Citi as a managing director. When she was hired, she was filled with excitement and eagerness to make an impactful improvement within her division. When accepting the job offer at Citi, her hope was the culture would be making at least an effort to shift away from the “good old…
