A Brit woman, who worked for banking giant HBOS, has claimed that she was forced to quit her job because of male employees watching pornography and sexual harassment.

Hayley Tansey, 38, said she was finally forced to quit her 39,000 pounds-a-year "dream" job because she was unable to cope with being constantly bombarded with unwelcome sexual attention.

Tansey, of Hebden Bridge, West Yorks, had joined Halifax-based HBOS, which was last year bailed out by the Government, 17 years ago and hoped it would be "a job for life" as she earned several promotions.

But she says over recent years the "harassing and laddish culture" spiralled out of control, with male employees watching pornography on their computers and creating a graph that gave sexual ratings to female staff.

Tansey, who worked in the bank’s loans department and had to travel frequently around the UK, also revealed an incident, which occurred when she was staying with her team at the Thistle Hotel, Cheltenham.

She said that while they were having a nightcap, a married male colleague made sexual advances at her, and when she rejected him and left for her room, she was bombarded with phone calls and knocks on her door before finally falling asleep.
