to The New York Times. For seven years, Hunt ran Bloomberg News' Washington bureau, holding a key voice over what stories were published and whose careers advanced. In 2012, for reasons that are unclear, Hunt moved from his role overseeing editorial operations in Washington to become a columnist for Bloomberg's opinion section, where he remained until 2018.
"Al Hunt talked a progressive game of hiring more women and promoting them, but it was mere virtue-signalling," said one former Bloomberg employee. "Young female reporters were just shiny new toys for him." An employee told Business Insider that they often witnessed Hunt call a woman to his desk, caress her forearms, and, after she walked away, comment, "I have such a crush on her.""Can you seriously suggest these were shiny toys that achieved enormous success at Bloomberg and later at other places?" he said. "To call them angels is insulting."
In one case, Hunt threw a stapler at one of his assistants, two of the people said. The people didn't witness the incident, but one of them recalls talking about it with the stapler's target, who moved on from the Hunt post and now works in Bloomberg's television operation. The target declined to comment when contacted by Business Insider.
Al Hunt, far right, attended a Bloomberg LP-sponsored cocktail party at the 2008 White House Correspondents Dinner with Maryland Congressman Steny Hoyer and former Bloomberg LP executive Daniel L. Doctoroff Sources say Bloomberg LP made settlement payments to two women who complained about Hunt In a statement, a Bloomberg LP spokesperson did not deny any of the claims regarding Hunt: "We take complaints from our employees seriously and investigate them thoroughly. Looking back at the history of the company, there are certainly instances where we wish we had handled some complaints differently. We're always striving to do better, and we are constantly improving policies and procedures to ensure an inclusive workplace.
"This organization does not have people of color sitting on their management committee, or in visible senior leadership roles, and the ones that do have direct reports have acted in irrepressible ways towards young women of color," the letter reads.
"I would say from my experience some people are aware of what they call a diversity issue [at Bloomberg LP] but, overall, as a company, I don't think things are getting better," the current employee told Business Insider. "If they were trying to get better, it's because of [Mike Bloomberg] running for election and wanting to please people, but I wouldn't say they are getting better.
Disgruntled employees, there's a reliable source. 🙄
Oh now they will talk lol. Too much manipulation. It's in your genome to lie
