Story 21

When I was at [X entertainment company], me and my peers were mistreated so badly I ended up losing 20 lbs and was misdiagnosed with lupus because the stress had me so bad. Eventually I got a payout (peanuts really) from a major class action lawsuit filed for discrimination. With all that said, my experience at Citi is worse. The gaslighting is so insanely overt that all you do is question your sanity. I read all the story submissions here. I think I can put names to many of them. Makes me feel so outraged. I am sidelined and unable to do my job, while mediocre players (all men) celebrate losing chess like children.

    I noticed the submission describing HR pressure on managers to terminate employees in ways that avoided paying severance. I believe a major publication investigated this practice at Citi and ultimately did not run the story because of *obvious* pressure from the company, despite evidence suggesting it was widespread. Perhaps this will encourage said-publication to pick…

    Like most here, I am no stranger to working for inappropriate managers, and I wouldn’t normally waste time with HR. But after enduring nearly a year of well-documented and bizarre retaliation following the reporting of a sensitive client risk issue at another global wealth management firm, I am still a deer in headlights from the…
