A female salesperson working for Macquarie Bank’s US arm has alleged a co-worker tried to sexually assault her at a booze-filled company retreat that included an excursion to a strip club.

At an event in New Orleans for sales workers and their managers "Macquarie encouraged its employees to drink to excess and… [the woman's] supervisor took all of the other employees under his supervision to a strip club to be ‘entertained’ by topless women", the woman’s complaint, filed against Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust, states.

Despite being promoted on schedule the year before, the woman was not promoted after reporting the incident, costing her about $US100,000 in lost commissions.
