  • Goldman exec Jon Reeves took a six-month paternity leave after the birth of his second child, and his colleagues began to exclude him from meeting invitations. His manager allegedly said he was “lazy,” and the firm began to unlawfully regard him as expendable, an employment judge ruled. Reeves is seeking $5 million in compensation.
