A former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. analyst who says the bank discriminated against him because of his attention deficit condition is seeking as much as 11.5 million pounds ($14.9 million) in a London court.
Kwasi Afrifa, who worked alongside traders in the equities and credit markets, said that he was compelled to resign in May 2018 after the bank’s "stubborn refusal" to take steps to ease his working life. He said that he lost the chance of a lucrative career in investment banking and is claiming an award that would be more than triple the highest ever payout at a U.K. employment tribunal, Goldman Sachs’ lawyers said.
