Editorial Comment

We declined to post several submissions yesterday that were nothing but personal attacks and/or contained threatening language against a particular institution. We don’t know if it was a setup but, either way, it is not consistent with the purpose of this platform.

WallStreetDiscriminates exists to surface real experiences and identify patterns that would otherwise remain hidden. It is intended to inform, not inflame — and to create space for honest dialogue without fear of retaliation.

We are grateful to those who have shared their experiences — particularly when doing so is painful — and helped shed light on situations that too often remain hidden, making fairness and accountability harder to achieve in a world where power imbalance and secrecy disadvantages the everyday person.

Posts that cross into harassment or threats undermine that mission and will not be published.

We strive for consistency in our editorial standards and will continue to uphold them.

    My wife and I are both in the business. She showed me story 257 because she knew it would make me laugh. I moved to Citi from BofA after the financial crisis and can only describe it as landing on Mars—stripped naked, with a single bottle of water, staring at a sign that says: “Good…

    I saw Citi posted record earnings today. Good for them. Anyone, like me, who chooses to work at a bank is a capitalist so no judgment. That said, it’s fair to ask whether the firm might be even more successful if it reinvested just some of those profits into meaningfully improving its culture, rather than…

    I was laid off by Citi in January, 2024. I was 69 at the time and had a combined 45 years of tenure dating back to Shearson. I had recently chosen to leave a Regional Director position managing the state of CA for Wealth Management. I was very highly regarded by my team, my colleagues…
