Story 375

Hello, Story 371! I see my friends from the mixer in New York, where tea was spilled about all the misbehaving men we have to deal with, have already been here.

[REDACTED] of Morgan Lewis is a piece of work. If sniveling, small d*ck energy was a person, it’d be him. I realize that sounds very unladylike of me, but at our get-together we discussed the fact that women need to stop playing nice and start throwing some sharp elbows. These awful men do whatever they want at our expense.

From where I sit, he seems perfectly comfortable advancing whatever arguments best serve his equally corrupt clients, regardless of the damage to the women on the other side. That’s his role, I suppose. Time to call out a system that rewards exactly that kind of conduct.

What a joke. Let’s bring back shame. For too long, powerful institutions and the people who defend them have counted on women staying quiet while they controlled the narrative. Time for sunlight to shine on this equation and see where that takes us.

Signed,

No Apologies.

    The Consent Order Problem No One Wants to Discuss I was hired for specialized regulatory work. My background was exactly what the firm needed. An older colleague pulled me aside one day and said something I’ll never forget: “Citi doesn’t want outside ideas. Let your manager present your work as theirs.” I initially thought they…

    Story 329 articulated many of the observations and concerns that I, and others, have quietly carried for some time. Themes ranging from a “bank with soul” to allegations of discrimination, favoritism, and processes that appear compliant on paper but fail the spirit of fairness were striking. While many of these topics may not have previously…

    I raised concerns with Citi’s Employee Relations about the circumstances of my layoff. I had been eliminated as part of what the bank characterized as a reorganization. I did not accept that characterization. The pattern I observed and reported was the systematic elimination of experienced employees that a senior manager in the Consumer Bank’s risk…
