It is clear that FDIC Chairman Gruenberg must resign to pave the way for necessary reforms to the FDIC’s longstanding and ongoing toxic workplace issues that threaten the safety of employees. Having led the FDIC for ten of the past thirteen years, his prolonged tenure and failure to recognize his own role in these issues is a clear management failure. As someone who has long advocated for accountability and transparency in our government institutions, the findings from the independent review and report on the FDIC's toxic workplace issues are deeply troubling. The report uncovers a serious lack of leadership from Chairman Gruenberg, whose behavior has gone unaddressed, and even unrecognized by himself. His stubborn lack of self-awareness and mismanagement has contributed to a toxic work environment that includes harassment, discrimination, and mismanagement. In turn, the gross mismanagement has led to an agency that could not properly oversee the safety and soundness of U.S. financial institutions. The FDIC’s own reporting following the failure of Signature Bank highlighted that the FDIC struggled to retain bank examiners, which led to failures in overseeing the institution. Almost surely, staffing shortages, and therefore increased risks to the system, are connected to the toxic environment perpetuated and enabled under Chairman Gruenberg’s leadership.
