This story has been updated with comments from the plaintiff's lawyer.
A former facilities employee at New York-based Schulte Roth & Zabel has accused the firm of turning a blind eye to sexist, homophobic, anti-Catholic and anti-Ecuadorian remarks that he said were directed at him and others by his colleagues.
In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Manhattan Supreme Court, the former Schulte employee, Sebastian Alonzo, said he saw facilities department staff "engage[ed] in blatant and overt sexist and sexually harassing behavior." Alonzo, who worked at the firm for 10 years, regularly saw colleagues laugh and join in as a co-worker made "disgusting comments about women and bragged about sexually harassing female employees," his suit said.
