- Wells Fargo was accused of sex discrimination in a lawsuit by a bond saleswoman who said the fourth-largest U.S. bank denied pay and promotions available to men and tolerated an"unapologetically sexist" workplace.
She said she expressed frustration at missing out on large accounts, but was told her mostly male group thought of her as a mere"second income" for her husband. "The financial institutions group is a self-acknowledged 'boys club' where locker room talk on the sales floor is de rigueur," creating an"unapologetically sexist working environment," Leavitt said.Leavitt joined the San Francisco-based bank in 2013 from Bear Stearns. The Illinois resident is seeking unspecified damages and changes in how Wells Fargo assigns accounts.
And last May, Goldman Sachs agreed to pay $215 million to settle a class action alleging widespread bias against women in pay and promotions.
