FDIC Chair Martin Gruenberg is facing bipartisan calls to resign following a report detailing a toxic workplace environment, including allegations of sexual harassment and bullying. During a heated House hearing, Gruenberg rebuffed demands for his resignation. Senate Banking Committee Chair Sherrod Brown and other lawmakers have called for fundamental changes at the FDIC, with some urging President Biden to replace Gruenberg immediately. The White House has indicated that Gruenberg will step down once a successor is appointed, and Biden will name a replacement soon. Critics have also linked Gruenberg's leadership to the 2023 bank crisis and called for a DOJ investigation into the FDIC's culture. Sherrod Brown emphasized the need for fundamental changes, and the Biden administration is under pressure to act swiftly.
Pres. Biden should fire Chairman Gruenberg today. Anything short of firing him will show that the president condones the abuse and harassment at the @FDICgov. https://t.co/KJiIaewUhm
McConnell on management issues at FDIC: Despite alarming reports about rampant sexual harassment, abuse and retaliation at the FDIC, Senate Democrats in position to insist on change have actually pulled their punches and fed up calls for Mr. Greenberg's resignation. We've heard…
"Chairman Gruenberg’s willingness to step down is welcomed. His departure is a necessary step forward in creating positive change and an inclusive work atmosphere from the top-down..." https://t.co/wIfkbPnPj8
"Which is more important to Democrats and Mr. Biden—continuing the left’s anti-bank regulatory campaign, or protecting federal employees from a dysfunctional workplace?" #GruenbergMustGo https://t.co/SZexFHVh0N

It was a glorious crypto policy day yesterday: FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg said he would resign. As CT's OG Martin Gruenberg hater, here are some of the worst things he's done (in addition to having anger management problems and permitting a culture of sexual harrassment) 👇
Key Democrat calls for FDIC chief's ouster over 'toxic culture' that includes sexual harassment https://t.co/4OoYB7RkUe
The FDIC frat party is over, and it’s past time for Biden to take real action. By failing to immediately remove Chairman Gruenberg to ensure Democrats keep control of the @fdicgov’s Board of Directors, the Biden admin is putting politics over protecting women in the workplace.
The White House said Martin Gruenberg will step down once a successor is appointed and that President Joe Biden will name a replacement “soon.” https://t.co/XDpboR2KbL

It is time for Chair Gruenberg to step down NOW frm the FDIC The American ppl deserve accountability in govt & the reports of harassment/mismanagement in the FDIC are unacceptable
"After chairing last week's hearing, reviewing the independent report, and receiving further outreach from FDIC employees to the Banking and Housing Committee, I am left with one conclusion: there must be fundamental changes at the FDIC." https://t.co/pGnP7SpUix
.@JoeBiden will choose a new leader for the F.D.I.C., a White House spokesman said on Monday, hours after a top Democrat, @SenSherrodBrown, said the agency's current chair, Martin Gruenberg, needed to step aside https://t.co/b07grkxWg2
If fixing the toxic FDIC workplace is as important as Chairman Gruenberg claims, why wait several months to start making the long overdue changes? Is leveraging his chairmanship to push through partisan regulations more important? https://t.co/s4u5m5O01e
Marty Gruenberg’s toxic leadership has put his employees in vulnerable and unsafe conditions and his leadership style has put our financial system at risk, as we saw during the 2023 bank crisis. Gruenberg should stop playing party politics and resign effective immediately.
🚨Gruenberg needs to go TODAY! And to fully clean up the rot at the FDIC frat house, Biden’s DOJ must investigate, so we can remove anyone who perpetuated the disgusting culture at @FDICgov. https://t.co/KpEez75pIU
