发帖数: 29576 | 1 Horndog hedge funders accused of ranking female workers, Chelsea Clinton
A Manhattan hedge fund is a hotbed of sexual harassment, with staff members
ranking female employees in “f–k, marry and kill” categories and one
rating work neighbor Chelsea Clinton as “on her best day … a three,”
according to a suit filed Monday.
Former Advent Capital employee Courtney Robb claims in her Manhattan federal
suit that she was fired in 2017 in retaliation for speaking out about the
sexist culture.
The harassment began soon after Robb started at the multibillion-dollar
hedge fund in 2016, when her male superiors openly labeled women in “f–k,
marry and kill” categories, according to the suit.
One of the traders at the company told Robb that other employees suggested
changing her status from “marry” to “kill,” the suit states.
One of the employees “allegedly told other men at Advent that Ms. Robb was
such an uptight bitch that she already was at ‘wife’ status,” according
to the suit.
The company shared an office building with the Clinton Foundation when Robb
worked there and employees would see Chelsea Clinton in the lobby of the
building, she claims in the suit.
On one occasion, a male employee openly rated Clinton’s appearance on the
trading floor.
“On her best day, Chelsea Clinton is a three,” he said, according to the
suit.
Men in the office also regularly referred to women as “c–ts” and “b–hes
,” Robb claims.
Robb complained about the language and her treatment at the company to the
management, including chief investment officer Tracy Maitland.
Maitland dismissed the language as “locker-room talk,” according to the
suit.
Robb was fired soon after making her complaints, which she believes was
retaliation for speaking out.
She’s seeking a jury trial and unspecified damages in the suit.
“Advent Capital Management, LLC is a minority-owned firm which takes
seriously its commitment to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Advent
values our employees and takes all employee concerns extremely seriously,”
an Advent Capital Management spokesperson said in a statement.
“While Advent cannot comment on pending litigation, we believe that the
complaint does not fairly or accurately recount the facts of this matter,”
the spokesperson added |
