Story 57
I worked at Citi’s London office and was shocked by the overt sexism, misogyny, racism, and nepotism-driven promotions. While these issues exist in many organizations, at Citi they felt blatant, unchecked, and systemic. During my time there, I witnessed:– An alcoholic contractor (hired through nepotism) harassing multiple women, inside and outside the office, for months—while management did nothing.– A male SVP sexually harassing a junior employee;…

I have absolutely no idea who is behind this site but from the bottom of my heart – thank you. The most recent editorial note is beyond critical for all to know and is foundational a tremendous part of the systemic problems at hand that absolutely require a call to action.

Story 52
30 year wealth management professional. The best boss I ever had – at U.S. Trust – was a woman who was marginalized over and over because she wasn’t part of the boys’ club. But by far the worst culture on Wall Street is Citi. Spent three years stunned by the chaos & power thirsty MDs. The weaponized HR department is an open secret.

Story 50
I have been beyond astonished and dismayed by the stories I have read here and I’m also so glad that so many people have a place to speak up and be heard! It is nice not to feel so alone and clearly something needs to change! If sharing on this forum facilitates that then bravo! Keep sharing your truth, keep showing up and don’t lose hope…

Another bible study lady. We are all in our 70s and talked about how professional women in our day didn’t support each other enough. Good to see less competing and more locking arms. Sending strength and support. We see you!
