Brokerage House Ignores Females

[Anonymous <no_email@fake.address>]

I am co-trustee with my father on a family member's trust
account located at a small brokerage/investment firm in
our small town. This firm is part of a national firm that
I will be willing to provide the name is requested.
The agent has ignored my input and 
played up to my father who is elderly and has dimensia.  
I am told by my mother that the agent has made negative statements about me to both my parents.

The agent made a financial mistake with the account.  Another agent with the firm in another town who I had gone
to school with told me how to properly respond to the 
error.  Our agent became angry and blamed me, claiming
that he had acted appropriately, and made some rude 
remarks.  When I asked for an apology, he became angry.
We talked things out and I thought we had reached a point
where we were okay, and then he called me "irrational"
and "over-emotional".  He told me that he thought I was
a miserable person with a miserable life, a reference
I'm sure was made to the fact that I am female, over
thirty and single.  These types of statements continued
with a defamatory statement that he apparently got through
local gossip.

This behavior was reported to the corporate office and
regional office.  I was told the local manager had to
make the call on how to handle the situation.  The local
manager when asked if he could provide assurance that 
the agent could discontinue any of these types of 
statements and that he provide the name of the person
who made the defamatory statement to him, told me that
"if" the agent for the company made these statements, 
that this would not be something that they would be
able to help me with.

I also overhead this manager telling his staff that 
you can't talk to girls like you can to boys, they get
upset, referring to his daughter's soccer game.  This
was on the same day I was provided an envelop for the
trust addressed to my father, although he and I are
"co-trustees" and I had been the one dealing with them.

Advise:  Until this company can understand what they
are doing, women should we wary of doing business with
them.
