Story 48
A woman in our Bible Study whose daughter works on Wall Street shared this site with us last night. We are inspired by these courageous ladies! God will bless them.

Story 47
Having spent nearly 25 successful years as a senior leader in wealth management, and one of the few women, I have never experienced anything like what transpired at Citi. I remain perplexed, disappointed, and shocked by the firm’s actions and its continued disregard for the damage caused to a previously unblemished career. Throughout my tenure at other wirehouse and bank firms, I consistently exceeded performance goals,…

Story 46
I worked at a finance firm as a Vice President for over 9 years. When a new senior VP joined the company, he openly described himself as someone who ran the“old boys club,” even saying so in a team meeting. Although we disagreed at times, I remained professional. Over time, he began singling me out, including assigning me an office with an “old boys club” plaque…

Story 45
Asset management vet of 30 years. For most of my career, I’ve worked with men who are supportive and professional, which made it difficult for me to relate to the #metoo movement, which in my view was mostly about sexual harassment. (Not to say one’s not due for financial services but it’s not my thing.) What’s different here is the exposure of double standards in professional…

Story 44
The examples shared are not surprising. My experience in Citi is similar. HR is weaponized to squash anyone speaking up. They train us to speak up, contact Ethics or HR and when you do everything is used against you. Before going to HR, I talked to a lawyer and was very prepared for what HR were going to do, but without that knowledge I would have…

Story 43
I am a woman at Citi. I have been personally impacted by the weaponization of HR processes and unequal enforcement of workplace policies here. Hearing other women share their stories is so inspiring and I would very much like to share mine. However, for fear of retaliation, I feel like I have to save it for when I am no longer employed at Citi.

Story 42
I am a woman working in management consulting and previously worked in front office at CIBC. An MD and ED on our team pressured juniors to accompany them to strip clubs. I felt uncomfortable and shared my thoughts with peers but it fell on deaf ears. It was widely perceived that those who complied received preferential treatment in files and bonuses.

Story 41
I’ve read many of the stories shared on this platform and most focus on behaviour in the front office. What’s missing from that narrative is an honest acknowledgement that the same behaviour, harassment, intimidation, and discrimination towards women, was also deeply prevalent in ops. My time in the Citigroup London in operations years ago now was incredibly unpleasant. There was a clear attempt by men in…

Post 40
Citi has a culture that supports misogyny, gender bias, and a wide array of unethical employment practices. For close to 20 years I have witnessed and, at times, been subjected to all of the above. For the most part, Citi reinforces an environment of apathy towards whistleblowers or those who “complain”. This is despite a firmwide message (and internal training) that every employee should speak up…

Post 39
I was nominated for MD at a tier one bank having the best production year of my career. I had been paid up in a down year and my review had given me the green light for additional headcount on my team. When I shared I was pregnant less than 4 weeks later, I came in one day to a room of 4 men I reported…
