A top manager at Siena bank Monte dei
Paschi di Siena (MPS) is in hot water after making remarks
slammed as sexist to staff while discussing how to boost their
sales of insurance policies.
The bank's chief commercial officer, Pasquale Marchese,
allegedly repeated what he had heard from a top performing
salesman in saying selling policies was like "pulling girls".
He allegedly said "it's like when you have to pull a girl, I try
it on with them all, then one of them agrees".
The Tuscany rep of the women's section of Italy's largest and
most leftwing union CGIL, Barbara Orlandi, said "the MPS manager
was wrong and it was absolutely useful to denounce his words,
they sadly won't be the last such ones but we hope that other
cases receive the same treatment".
