Story 305
Culture is set from the top. The [REDACTED] at Citi has apparently decided that’s not his job. When male colleagues sharing his same ethnic background ganged up on a newly hired Caucasian female director, their behavior was quickly dismissed as mere “misunderstandings.” They targeted her with culturally loaded micro-aggressions, commented that her professional suit was “too formal” for the room, and balked at the real offense:…

Story 304
At one of the world’s largest technology companies in SV, my friend was invited to join what management called the “Innovation Circle,” a handpicked group of seven high-potential employees tasked with developing new products and strategic ideas. She was the only woman in the cohort. For nearly a year, she worked nights and weekends alongside six male colleagues, each leading a separate initiative. The projects were…

Story 303
Story 300, I remember you. Rumors are the Wealth COO ordered your hit. Remember how heady things were when [REDACTED] started? They couldn’t risk for anyone to dissent that he wasn’t our Lord & Savior. Hallelujah, amen! If you litigate for retaliation, you could get at least a dozen of us who still work here to testify on your behalf. The place is so sick and…

Story 302
Is it just me, or does Citi seem more willing to settle matters involving regulators and clients while digging its heels in against employees—particularly women—who bring claims of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation? I guess like its Epstein lawyer, Paul Weiss, it doesn’t care how its own people are treated but the C-suite is worried about the perception that it cuts corners with clients?! The employee who…

Dear Editor, for story 299, I forgot to specify USCC is with Citi. Would you kindly add it? For example here: The Head of Risk at Citi’s USCC. Thank you

Story 300
I was a Business Analyst at Citi in 2023 when a new senior leader arrived with a great deal of fanfare. Almost immediately, I noticed that he paid an unusual amount of attention to several of the younger female analysts. One in particular stood out—a tall woman with honey-blonde hair and Eastern European accent. The behavior struck me as inappropriate enough that I began telling members…

Story 299
The Head of Risk at USCC likes to say she was trained by great managers. The results haven’t shown up in how she develops her own people. For years, she has harbored a repeat bully, harasser, and discriminator in her group — shielding her from any accountability, any consequence, any scrutiny. The reward for years of Anti-Harassment policy violations? A promotion to MD. Why? Partly because…

Editor’s Note
Today marks WallStreetDiscriminates’ six-month anniversary. We have been humbled by the volume of stories, support, and engagement the platform has received. Every person here has contributed to a broader conversation about what happens when powerful institutions abuse their power and, in doing so, we have forced an uncomfortable question into the open: why has a decent society tolerated it for so long? The laws of a…

Story 298
Citi’s Legal Dept: When the “Hold” is as Blind as the Justice If you thought working at a Tier 1 bank meant dealing with sophisticated systems, think again. Two of my team members received a Formal Legal Hold from Citi’s Legal Department. The issue? The hold covered a specific department and timeframe during which none of them were even Citi employees. When we pointed out this…

Story 297
Citi is so toxic it’s unbelievable. It feels like being in an abusive relationship, but with work. I will never forget one day couple years ago at the peak of intense pressure from my second level manager, I was waiting to cross the street on my way to work and I had a sudden passing thought in my head that if I got slightly hit by…
