Robyn Gritz: Exposing Gender Discrimination at the FBI
In this episode of the Whistleblower of the Week podcast, host Jane Turner
speaks with former FBI agent Robyn Gritz. Gritz had a 16-plus year career at the FBI including serving as a supervisor over Washington Field Office’s elite Extraterritorial Counter Terrorism squad. However, Gritz claims she faced gender discrimination, including numerous sexist comments and less preferential treatment, during her time at the Bureau and was eventually forced out of her job. She has an ongoing lawsuit against the FBI.
Turner and Gritz discuss Gritz’s upbringing and how it shaped her commitment towards working at the FBI. They then speak about her experiences with discrimination and harassment at the FBI and detail how Gritz was forced out of her job.
