Anyone know the details?

Lazard Ltd. fired a senior dealmaker following allegations of inappropriate behavior during a weekend party, according to people familiar with the matter.

The banker, a managing director in Lazard’s financial advisory business in the US, was terminated after an investigation into actions that were seen as incompatible with the firm’s values, the people said. Lazard’s incoming chief executive officer Peter Orszag informed staff in an internal memo Sunday, which didn’t name the individual or details of what happened.

The incident took place over the weekend at a personal party where other Lazard employees were also present, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. Lazard acted swiftly to investigate the allegations and the employee was terminated over the weekend, they said.

A representative for Lazard declined to comment.

Many Wall Street firms say they’re taking a harder line on inappropriate behavior as financial institutions try to dismantle a culture that’s been criticized by investors and regulators alike.

 

It was a work function - believe they responded to a media inquiry that she would have been allowed to expense an Uber given the hour (past their 9pm cutoff) and that it was a company event.

The girl just tripped... Incredibly tragic but I don't think you can do a ton to prevent something like that. It's not like there is an extreme danger in taking the subway.

 

I knew this even though I was in Hong Kong, because the Chinese girl went to the same school with a close friend.

It was on Wednesday night for happy hour, and she just fell off the platform when heading home (not alone, with other colleagues, guess that might be a reason why she didn't use Uber).

It was truly a tragedy, even more heartbreaking when knowing she's from a not-so-wealthy single-parent family (believe me many Chinese parents would try their best, spend 90% of their income to afford their kids to go to US undergrad for the "American Dream"). The school's Asian community made a crowdfunding donation on a Chinese platform and many people donated one thing or two.
