Career Resources
It is tough to pull this off banking for two reasons:
1. You will have a hard time documenting these and provide evidence. And you will be sued if you show you brought the evidence out from your company
2. This industry is full of people who don't give a f about life and they will look down on you. HR and your future employers will also feel you are a potential trouble maker and blacklist you forever
Combine these 2 factors, I think if you decide to leave high finance forever then you can potentially negotiate (not fighting back but just negotiate). Otherwise you have to experience the wrath or pity of this industry
The answer is no, you won’t have any recourse
although kudos to you for identifying this behavior. I have been through this myself as have several friends and especially early career when you are eager to succeed it can be hard (later you realize all feedback is horseshit)
