Inside Wall Street’s Complex, Shameful, and Often Confidential Battle with #MeToo

Vanity Fair (02/27/2018)
  • Current and former women in finance (banking, sales & trading) recount workplace sexual harassment they’ve experienced.
  • Allegations include pornography left on their desks, obscene sexual language/propositions, and male colleagues simulating sexual acts on them.
  • Most didn’t report behavior out of fear of being labelled “complainers” and derailing careers.
  • “No matter the allegations, managers tended to support one another”.
  • While legal settlements and transformations from private partnerships into public entities forced management to crack down, many women complain that harassment has become more subtle.
