FDIC 受到批評：報告揭露了騷擾和歧視的有毒文化

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Under Fire: Explosive Report Reveals Toxic Culture of Discrimination and Harassment

聯邦存款保險公司受到抨擊：爆炸性報告揭示了歧視和騷擾的有毒文化

In a damning exposé that has sent shockwaves through Washington, an independent report has unveiled a deeply troubling culture of sexual harassment, discrimination, and retaliation within the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The findings have sparked a bipartisan outcry, with lawmakers from both sides of the aisle calling for immediate action to address the systemic problems that have plagued the agency for years.

一份獨立報告揭露了聯邦存款保險公司 (FDIC) 內部令人深感不安的性騷擾、歧視和報復文化，這一事件在華盛頓引起了軒然大波。這些調查結果引發了兩黨的強烈抗議，兩黨議員都呼籲立即採取行動，解決困擾該機構多年的系統性問題。

Bipartisan Fury over Toxic Culture

兩黨對有毒文化的憤怒

House Financial Services Committee Chairman Patrick McHenry (R-NC) wasted no time in lambasting FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg, accusing him of failing his employees, the agency, and the American people. "The FDIC must be held to the same standards of conduct it imposes on the entities it regulates," McHenry declared. "The agency's culture must be overhauled."

眾議院金融服務委員會主席帕特里克·麥克亨利（北卡羅來納州共和黨）立即痛斥 FDIC 主席馬丁·格倫伯格，指責他辜負了員工、該機構和美國人民的期望。麥克亨利宣稱：“FDIC 必須遵守與其監管的實體相同的行為標準。” “該機構的文化必須進行徹底改革。”

Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) echoed McHenry's criticism, urging Gruenberg to resign. "Marty, you should resign," Scott said bluntly. "You've heard me say this directly."

參議員蒂姆·斯科特（南卡羅來納州共和黨）回應了麥克亨利的批評，敦促格倫伯格辭職。 「馬蒂，你應該辭職，」史考特直言不諱地說。 “你已經聽我直接說過這句話了。”

Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) set the tone for the congressional hearings, expressing Congress's revulsion at the 234-page report. "It makes clear under both Republican and Democratic chairs that the FDIC has not done its job properly," Waters stated.

眾議員瑪克辛沃特斯 (D-CA) 為國會聽證會定下了基調，表達了國會對這份 234 頁報告的反感。沃特斯表示：“在共和黨和民主黨的領導下，聯邦存款保險公司都沒有妥善履行其職責。”

Shocking Revelations from Employees

員工的令人震驚的爆料

The report paints a grim picture of a hostile and discriminatory workplace, where employees have been subjected to a litany of abuses. One supervisor allegedly made regular comments about a woman's legs and other body parts, as well as his sex life. Another woman reported receiving a photo of an FDIC supervisor's genitals.

該報告描繪了一幅充滿敵意和歧視的工作場所的嚴峻景象，員工遭受了一連串的虐待。據稱，一名主管經常對一名女性的腿部和其他身體部位以及他的性生活發表評論。另一位女士報告說收到了一張 FDIC 主管的生殖器照片。

Employees also reported feeling "demoralized" after being told by colleagues that they were "only hired" to fill quotas. Homophobic statements, such as referring to gay men as "little girls," were also documented.

員工們還表示，在同事告訴他們「只是為了填補配額而僱用」他們後，他們感到「士氣低落」。也記錄了仇視同性戀的言論，例如將男同性戀者稱為“小女孩”。

Outrage over Gender Discrimination and Retaliation

對性別歧視和報復的憤怒

Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) was particularly incensed by the "disturbing" findings, which included "hundreds of instances of gender discrimination, unsolicited sexual advances, harassment and assault and even difficulty being promoted after having children."

參議員凱蒂·布里特（共和黨-阿拉巴馬州）對這些「令人不安」的調查結果尤其憤怒，其中包括「數百起性別歧視、未經請求的性挑釁、騷擾和攻擊，甚至在生孩子後難以升職」。

"Let me repeat: Individuals within a United States agency denied opportunities to women because they chose to have a family," Britt said.

「讓我再說一次：美國機構內的個人拒絕給予女性機會，因為她們選擇組建家庭，」布里特說。

Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) raised concerns that the toxic culture within the FDIC had compromised its ability to supervise the financial sector. "I worry the culture you created at the FDIC has people terrified to answer honestly," Vance said to Gruenberg. "If they're not answering honestly, it's impossible for us to do our job of overseeing what you guys do."

俄亥俄州共和黨參議員 J.D. 萬斯 (J.D. Vance) 擔心 FDIC 內部的有毒文化損害了其監管金融部門的能力。 「我擔心你在 FDIC 創造的文化讓人們不敢誠實回答，」萬斯對格倫伯格說。 “如果他們不誠實回答，我們就不可能完成監督你們所做的事情。”

Cautious Optimism and Demands for Accountability

謹慎樂觀和問責要求

While Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) expressed concern, she stopped short of calling for Gruenberg's resignation. However, she emphasized that replacing Gruenberg with Vice Chairman Travis Hill would be a "purely political" move and would not address the underlying cultural problems within the FDIC.

雖然參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫（D-MA）表達了擔憂，但她沒有呼籲格倫伯格辭職。不過，她強調，用副主席特拉維斯希爾取代格倫伯格將是「純粹的政治」舉措，不會解決 FDIC 內部潛在的文化問題。

"Your resignation would do nothing for the toxic culture at the FDIC, but it would give Republicans a veto over bank policy," Warren said. "Culture starts at the top, and it's your responsibility to fix this."

沃倫說：“你的辭職對聯邦存款保險公司的有毒文化沒有任何幫助，但它會讓共和黨人對銀行政策擁有否決權。” “文化始於高層，解決這個問題是你的責任。”

In the wake of the explosive report, several references were made to additional future hearings, indicating that the investigation into the FDIC's toxic culture is far from over. Lawmakers are determined to hold the agency accountable for its failures and ensure that such a hostile and discriminatory environment never takes root again.

爆炸性報告發布後，多次提到未來將舉行更多聽證會，這表明對 FDIC 有毒文化的調查還遠未結束。立法者決心讓該機構對其失敗承擔責任，並確保這種敵對和歧視性的環境不再紮根。
