Sexual Discrimination Complaint Morgan Stanley

Case
Lot of legal jargon here. Gives summary of the claims against the company. EEOC's handling, investigation and findings are covered here.

Employment History
Details of Allison Schieffelin's 14-year employment history at the firm after her graduation from Northwestern's Kellogg Business School. Easy to read.

Sexual Discrimination
Account of sexual discrimination she and many other female colleagues had to endure at Morgan Stanley. Mention of "strip clubs" and "topless bars" which were frequented by male colleagues of her might disturb some.

Failure to Respond
According to her account she and other women took initiative to inform the management about their unhappiness at the discriminatory workplace at Morgan Stanley, but all fell on deaf ears.

Sexual Harassment
This small section has details on her experience being sexually harassed by a male managing Director and how her complaint led to retaliation against her.

Retaliation
After her complaint to the EEOC became known to Morgan, job environment became hostile, job quality deteriorated and on pretextual basis she was fired after 14 years of service to the firm in an apparent retaliation.

Counts
Lays out 3 counts of federal employment discrimination and New York state human rights violations alleged committed by Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. More legalese than the previous sections except the first.
