Pay women less, promote women less often, fire women first. That is a business model with a virtual guarantee for a gender bias lawsuit, and all also happen to be the claims against Citigroup. Citigroup is being sued for gender bias stemming from the company’s large 2008 layoffs.
The Associated Press reports that Citigroup has always assumed a “boy club” mentality in their approach to middle and upper management hiring and promotions. The AP quotes the suit: “Given the disparity in the most senior-level positions, it is not surprising to find that the boys club filters down through the management ranks to effect all senior and junior level professional positions at Citigroup.”
