Uncovering the Truth: FDIC Investigation Reveals Widespread Sexual Harassment and Toxic Culture in the Workplace
FDIC Faces Workplace Misconduct Allegations
Recent findings have shed light on the pervasive workplace misconduct at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), raising concerns about the agency’s culture and leadership.
Workplace Culture Criticized
The report highlighted a culture at the FDIC that has allowed sexual harassment, discrimination, and other misconduct to persist unchecked for years. It criticized the agency for fostering a patriarchal, insular, and risk-averse environment, leading to a widespread fear of retaliation among employees.
Ineffective Response to Misconduct
Managers’ responses to allegations of misconduct were deemed insufficient and ineffective. The report detailed instances where senior executives engaged in inappropriate relationships with subordinates, further exacerbating the toxic work environment.
Leadership Accountability
While the report did not directly blame Chairman Gruenberg for the agency’s issues, it emphasized the importance of leadership accountability in shaping organizational culture. Questions were raised about Gruenberg’s credibility and moral authority to lead a cultural transformation within the FDIC.
Lack of Accountability
The report revealed a lack of accountability for harassment complaints within the FDIC, with minimal disciplinary actions taken against offenders. This lack of accountability was attributed to a risk-averse culture that prioritized avoiding disciplinary actions over addressing institutional damage caused by misconduct.
Call for Reform
The report has sparked calls for reform within the FDIC, with lawmakers and regulators urging swift action to address the agency’s deep-rooted issues. Efforts to implement recommended reforms and ensure a safe workplace for all employees are underway.
Regulatory Impact
Amidst the misconduct allegations, the FDIC is facing regulatory challenges, including proposed tougher regulations against banks. Gruenberg’s role in voting on these regulations is crucial, as the agency navigates through a period of heightened scrutiny and regulatory oversight.
Continued Investigations
Multiple investigations into the FDIC are ongoing, with further reports expected to be released later this year. The urgent need for a cultural transformation within the agency has been emphasized by regulators and lawmakers alike.
Conclusion
The FDIC’s workplace misconduct revelations underscore the importance of fostering a safe and inclusive work environment. Addressing these issues and implementing necessary reforms are essential steps towards rebuilding trust and accountability within the agency.

Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Announces Subway Railway Project Selection Process
Subway railway, applications were accepted until October and was chosen as the first project at the end of the year

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is holding an information session for local governments
Busan City starts feasibility study, etc.
Extreme interest including Busan Station ~ Busanjin Station
While the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has announced a project for underground railways in cities throughout the country, a guide (draft) will be prepared for local governments and an information session will be held. Afterwards, it was decided to receive business proposals from local governments by the end of October and decide on the first lead project at the end of the year. These flagship projects will start to establish ground plans starting next year.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 7th, “In order to move forward smoothly with the underground railway project, we will prepare guidelines and hold a briefing for 16 metropolitan local governments at the Royal Park Convention in Yongsan- Gu, Seoul. on the afternoon of the 8th.”
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has prepared guidelines by gathering opinions from the Underground Railway Steering Committee, the National Railway Corporation, KORAIL, and the Korea Land and Housing Corporation. The guidelines include instructions for writing each evaluation item and important examples so that local governments can make business proposals in accordance with the evaluation standards.
Oh Song-cheon, head of the railway construction department at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, said, “It is important to budget the project cost necessary for efficient undergrounding and develop the upper space in a planned manner to balance’ r total. feasibility.” He also said, “If there is not enough profit through higher developments, the local government may have to shoulder some of the financial resources for underground installation.”
After that, we will receive business proposals from local governments by the end of October, select the first flagship project at the end of this year, and start establishing a basic plan starting next year. After that, additional project proposals will be accepted by May next year, and the overall underground rail route will be confirmed and included in the comprehensive plan in late 2025.
Initially, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport took the position that “the underground railway project is a project that requires a long period of time,” but recently it has expressed its intention to speed up the process. It was not revealed how many places will be included in the first lead project.
Railway undergrounding is a project to lower the existing railways underground and develop the upper space into houses, high-tech industrial complexes, parks, etc. The underground construction will be done with profits from the upper space, and the government budget will only support a portion of the budget needed to establish the basic plan. However, as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is putting a lot of emphasis on business feasibility in the guidelines this time, there are concerns that the first flagship project may be decided to focus on the underground construction project in the metropolitan area.
The evaluation criteria prepared by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport include △ the feasibility of the underground project and the site development plan △ the reasonableness of the project cost estimate △ financial feasibility △ the adequacy of the project implementation system △ the adequacy of the financing plan. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced that it is currently reviewing an ‘integrated account’. This is a method of investing the remaining profits from a profitable business in a business with poor business viability.
In the case of Busan, the target is the 19.3km section of the Gyeongbu Line that passes through the city center. From Busan Station to Hwamyeong Station. The plan is to connect the disconnected area of the city and provide enough space for citizens through a mixed use development of the upper space.
However, it is still unclear whether the section from Busan Station to Busanjin Station will be included here. There are so many obstacles to the railway here that it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money to make it underground.
An official from Busan City said, “We are currently conducting a feasibility study for the project proposal at the end of October and are closely reviewing all possibilities, including whether to target the entire section from Busan Station to Hwamyeong Station or exclude the part of Busan. Station to Busanjin Station.”
The first start date of the lead project has not yet been determined. Typically, rail projects begin construction after at least 2 to 3 years of basic planning, followed by a design period of at least 3 years.
