Story 204

Warm congratulations to the women behind this site. In addition to giving the voiceless a place to be heard, you have also succeeded at a certain bank being so paranoid about what could be posted they have a team of lawyers and compliance personnel hitting refresh ten times a day. What stories are they worried about? Oh, I don’t know – I’m just an EA. Maybe that the U.S. gov’t gives incentives for them to keep payment rails open in Afghanistan so that they can funnel money to the Taliban or perhaps that a senior executive knocked up a colleague while she was married to another colleague while he was the boss. It could be anything at this point and it’s very entertaining for us staff.

The point is this: a framework or a…

    I saw the high-profile lawsuit that was filed against Citi, and the part where the woman said she was questioned about a one-sided “affair” didn’t surprise me at all. That’s straight out of the company’s HR handbook. I’ve had three female colleagues blindsided by these almost casual accusations – being told they were “coming onto”…

    In major Southeast Asian financial hubs, even the most serious sexual crimes committed by MD level male Private bankers are deliberately suppressed within the regional/local Private banks.

    I was covering a role temporarily as a favor to my boss, on top of my regular work. When asked if I wanted to keep it and I said no, I was layered under someone recognized to be less qualified—without warning. This wouldn’t have happened had I been an Indian male, younger. When challenged, my…
