Summary
Jamie Fiore Higgins, a former managing director at Goldman Sachs, has written a book detailing her experiences of misogyny and harassment during her 18-year career at the investment bank. She alleges that she was subjected to demeaning and sexist comments from colleagues, witnessed sex and drug-taking in the office, and was once physically assaulted. Goldman Sachs has strongly disagreed with the characterization of its culture described in the book and said that it would have investigated any allegations had they been raised with its human resources department. The bank is currently embroiled in a long-running class action lawsuit with around 1,800 plaintiffs alleging that it paid women less than men and held back their performance reviews.
