Story 371

I learned about this site today from a woman who is familiar with the high-profile lawsuits involving Citi. Coincidentally, [REDACTED] of Morgan Lewis, who is representing Citi in some of these matters, was one of the attorneys who represented Merrill Lynch in employment cases in the mid 2010’s. I know because I was a plaintiff. In my opinion, [REDACTED] conduct goes beyond ‘aggressive advocacy.’ And instead reflects a level of corruption that maybe explains why [REDACTED], Citi’s Head of Wealth, continues to retain him.

What these institutions have taken from women extends far beyond a paycheck. They stole my career, my identity, my livelihood – indeed, my peace. What is done to women in the workplace under the guise of a professional environment is profoundly abusive. The average Joe would be shocked.

At least women are finally exchanging information. Maybe something will change.

    As a senior executive in financial services (not Citibank), I’ve watched time and time again as high-performing, driven women have been pushed out of the organization. I fell for the company line about early retirements and decisions to pursue other interests, but now I know these women were targeted. My own story is this: decades…

    Citi’s HR tactics are so inhumane I considered taking my own life. It’s been almost six years and I will never be the same. It’s hard to describe and impossible to understand if you haven’t lived its unique horror. I don’t know how the board lets this go on. It’s a disgrace.
