What Pennsylvanians Are Saying: “Women Can’t Trust Dave Mccormick”

Centre Daily Times Letter to the Editor: “Women Across Pennsylvania Won’t Stand for Dave McCormick […] Pressuring Victims of Sexual Harassment to Stay Silent”

PENNSYLVANIA — Connecticut hedge fund CEO and mega-millionaire David McCormick is under scrutiny from Pennsylvanians following reports that he pressured women at Bridgewater Associates to remain silent about unwanted sexual advances and harassment they experienced at the firm.

Here’s What Pennsylvanians Are Saying:

Centre Daily Times Letter to the Editor: Women can’t trust Dave McCormick

• […] Women across Pennsylvania won’t stand for Dave McCormick, in his capacity as CEO of Bridgewater, pressuring victims of sexual harassment to stay silent about the abuse they suffered – reportedly going so far as to tell a female employee that “she would be in litigation for the rest of her life” if she broke a settlement agreement about the harassment she experienced at Bridgewater.

• Everyone, no matter their political affiliation, should disavow such behavior. Women, for years, have been subjected to sexual harassment in the workplace, fearing for their careers and reputations if they came forward with their stories.

• Silencing victims is never OK, and calling out such a blatant abuse of power shouldn’t be political.

• Women can’t trust Dave McCormick, not as a CEO and certainly not as a United States Senator.
