If you think that gender discrimination is only happening to small companies, think again. Goldman Sachs is being sued by three former employees who is accusing it of gender discrimination.

What's worse is that these three is saying that they had fewer opportunities for promotion and are being paid less than men.

Well they could have climbed higher. What they claim is that GS has a culture that is sexually discriminatory against women, and they described it as systemic.

Yup, these policies are even described to be company wide and is a result of unchecked gender bias.

The three are looking to have their lawsuit certified as a class action so that more women could be protected. They also called on GS to stop the practice.
