Need some advice - one of my engineers is, to put it bluntly, a misogynist. I've reported it but he's so subtle with his comments that I can't verify it with HR. I'm at my wits end and considering leaving. Anyone else experience this or can help with some insight?

HR should be doing more. If its really worrisome/severe, you can threaten an EEOC complaint with HR.

Agreed, I think how a company treats issues like this is VERY telling

There is no easy answer when dealing with a misogynist coworker. If possible, you could try to have a conversation with him about why his comments are inappropriate and unprofessional. However, if he is unwilling to listen or change his behavior, your only other option may be to report him to HR. Unfortunately, there is no surefire way to get rid of a misogynist coworker, and it may be a difficult situation to deal with.

Ugh!! MIsogynist coworkers are the worst! Don't let him bully you into leaving. Stay away from him if you can help it.

If you can't fight him with the normal process think of a very good comeback. Don't leave and concede.

Try your best to not pay him any attention. He's only looking to get a reaction out of you. Your HR really should think about actually doing their job.

i would try to embarrass him if he ever did something to me. Embarrassment is a strong emotion that deters some behaviors. I would pray that he does not do something stupid, because if he did i don't know what I can do. But why can't you verify it with HR?

Any one make a move from fund admin after big 4 assurance and then was able to make a pivot to a PE fund accounting team? I am considering moving to a fund admin now. Have 9+ years of big four experience. Worried that I can get stuck in fund admin. But I have interviewed at several big name pe shops and make a few rounds on interviews but then get the same feedback that they are worried about my lack of operational experience.
