PIMCO Hit with Additional Discrimination Claims
According to a litter sent to the head financial manager on January 28th, Pacific Investment Management Co. has been hit with additional accusations of gender discrimination, harassment and bullying by 21 current and former female employees. Sue Collazo, vice president of alternative operations, and Lisa Anthony, a manager on PIMCO's client management support team — who both signed the letter — filed suit against PIMCO in November alleging gender and disability discrimination, harassment and retaliation. In their letter, the women called on PIMCO to "rectify these longstanding issues and create a company that provides equal opportunity and treatment to everyone regardless of their race, gender or disability." Additionally, the letter demanded that PIMCO's board of director commit to a 5 year plan to diversify the executive level of the firm.
