A former equity saleswoman at OAO Sberbank’s London unit sued the bank for sexual discrimination, claiming colleagues sent messages referring to her as “Ms. Cokehead” and “mad Svetlana,” according to documents from her U.K. employment tribunal claim.
Svetlana Lokhova went on leave because of stress in January 2012 and never returned after colleagues on the all-male equity sales desk created a hostile work environment and showed “a demeaning and offensive attitude to women,” she alleged in the documents.
