An independent investigation into the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has revealed a pervasive culture of sexual harassment, discrimination, and bullying, primarily targeting women and underrepresented groups. The report, a detailed 200-page document based on accounts from 500 individuals, confirmed longstanding issues within the agency and highlighted that such behavior was often met with reassignments or promotions for the perpetrators rather than disciplinary actions. This toxic environment has been attributed to the leadership of FDIC Chair Martin Gruenberg, who has been at the helm for ten of the past thirteen years. The investigation, spurred by a series of Wall Street Journal articles, has led to calls from multiple lawmakers for Gruenberg's resignation to facilitate necessary reforms and a cultural overhaul at the FDIC.
