A "riveting and powerful" (Gretchen Carlson, cofounder of Lift Our
Voices) insider's account on Wall Street-an updated Liar's
Poker-where greed coupled with misogyny and discrimination enforces
a culture of exclusion in the upper echelons of Goldman Sachs.
Jamie Fiore Higgins became one of the few women at the highest
ranks of Goldman Sachs. Spurred on by the obligation she felt to
her working-class immigrant family, she rose through the ranks and
saw it all: out-of-control, lavish parties flowing with
never-ending drinks; affairs flouted in the office; rampant drug
use; and most pervasively, a discriminatory culture that seemed
designed to hold back the few women and people of color employed at
the company. Despite Goldman Sachs having the right talking points
and statistics, Fiore Higgins soon realized that these provided a
veneer to cover up what she found to be an abusive culture. Her
"engrossing" (Julie Battilana and Tiziana Casciaro, authors of
Power, for All) account is one filled with shocking stories of
harassment and jaw-dropping tales of exclusionary behavior: when
she was told she only got promoted because she is a woman; when her
coworkers mooed at her after she pumped for her fourth child,
defying the superior who had advised her not to breastfeed; or when
a male boss used a racial epithet in front of her, other
colleagues, and clients without any repercussions. Bully Market
"exposes the #MeToo movement's unfinished work on Wall Street"
(Meighan Stone, author of Awakening: #MeToo and the Global Fight
for Women's Rights) sounds the alarm on the culture of finance and
corporate America, while offering clear, actionable ideas for
creating a fairer workplace. Both a revealing, extraordinary look
at the industry and a top Wall Streeter's explosive personal story,
Bully Market is an essential account of one woman's experience in a
flawed system that speaks to the challenge and urgency for change.
