Rebecca Allen, a 32-year-old wealth manager at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., sued the bank and one of its managers, claiming she was discriminated against because she is black and Jewish.
A
vice president in the private wealth-management division, Allen says in
the lawsuit filed Wednesday in federal district court in Manhattan that
while her performance at the bank has been exemplary, she was denied
opportunities that directly affected her pay, earning potential and the
possibilities of promotions in the future.
In her complaint, Allen
says Goldman Sachs’s few black employees are marginalized and treated
differently when it comes to pay, promotions and opportunities to
develop relationships with clients and earn commissions. She says she
has never been given the chance to “steer” a customer who comes to the
bank unsolicited -- one of the ways private wealth-management employees
can add to their business.
