I started my career on Wall Street over 20 years ago, on the trading floor where all kinds of shenanigans would be reported. The guys who asked why you didn’t wear a skirt that day, the head trader who had to be reminded to look someone in the eyes when speaking, not at their chest,…
HR complaints are not “anonymous” and they dont even try to hide their bias if they do investigate. I wish i had sued instead of being afraid i was alone in my experience. Thank you to everyone here for sharing your stories.

Re: 71 & 72… isn’t access to employee complaints the very thing that brought down John Stumpf and Carrie Tolstedt of Wells Fargo in the sales scandal of 2016?
