Comments for Karen Hail suing MidSouth at http://www.theind.com , comment 1 to 17 out of 17 comments http://www.theind.com Sat, 18 May 2013 08:11:07 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8272-karen-hail-suing-midsouth#comment-17688 Geez. Seems like everyone has already assumed Midsouth's guilty. I sure as heck hope the jury withholds judgment until the case is actually heard. Come on folks... there's another side of this story that we won't hear because Midsouth would violate privacy laws by revealing its reasons for letting Ms. Hale go. Perhaps, just perhaps, there were legitimate reasons for her dismissal. Let's remember the basic American principle of innocent until proven guilty. - Rush to Judgment Fri, 13 May 2011 14:17:51 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8272-karen-hail-suing-midsouth#comment-17595 This legal action should put all banks and financial institutions on notice that discrimination is a dangerous proposition. As much as women have been the backbone of the banking industry, I thought the neanderthals has evolved. As if the financial industry didn't already have such a bad reputation... This woman is entitled to a very large financial settlement. I'm all for "make the bast...s pay". I have girls who want careers & if the threat of a lawsuit is what it takes to make sure they get what they deserve, then so be it. - BoFred Thu, 12 May 2011 04:29:02 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8272-karen-hail-suing-midsouth#comment-17579 Tie em to the stake and burn em, flog em, and when he begins drooling, and ohing and ahing, cut him loose he'll beg for more, punish him Karen. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Wed, 11 May 2011 20:41:03 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8272-karen-hail-suing-midsouth#comment-17572 Ms. Hail certainly has every right to expect better treatment for all her years of dedicated service to the banking industry. It's a shame she didn't get it. The bad-old-boy network should shudder that "what goes around always comes around." - swampthang Wed, 11 May 2011 17:46:46 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8272-karen-hail-suing-midsouth#comment-17533 Ms. Hail "DO NOT HIRE A LOCAL ATTORNEY !

Karen is an outstanding banker. Rusty (like his name) is a rusted nail; times have changed, but that rust bucket has not. For all his pronouncements, his bank is one of the worst. - canjun transplant Tue, 10 May 2011 22:46:36 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8272-karen-hail-suing-midsouth#comment-17526 companyoutsiderthankgod: you hit the nail on the head. Nepotism is ALIVE AND WELL at MidSouth!!

Someone needs to check out the small privately owned banks surrounding acadiana to understand how discrimination is deeply rooted in the banking industry. Ms. Hail, I don't know you, but for our future daughters and granddaughters, thank you. - dixie Tue, 10 May 2011 15:15:26 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8272-karen-hail-suing-midsouth#comment-17515 Karen, you are my all time HERO!! I am so very proud of you, girl, I will be thinking, praying & cheering you on! It's high time someone with 'Executive Guts' stops this 'Boy Network' in the financial industry, especially in Louisiana!! - Georgia Girl Tue, 10 May 2011 14:46:25 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8272-karen-hail-suing-midsouth#comment-17514 Banks are notorious for taking advantage of women. I hope we score a big one on this. Thank you Karen for your courage for all of us! - Bankpast Tue, 10 May 2011 14:42:07 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8272-karen-hail-suing-midsouth#comment-17510 I'm sure Mr. Reaux regrets leaving Tri Parish Bank and walking into this hornets nest. And of coarse, Donny Landry has to be laughing his ass off. The mass exodus of executive management should give you some clue as to how Cloutier operates. I can't believe Hail doesn't even mention the promotion of Cloutiers uneducated son to a senior management position in her suit. - companyoutsiderthankgod Tue, 10 May 2011 12:07:24 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8272-karen-hail-suing-midsouth#comment-17509 If these charges are found to be true, I hope those who committed these misdeeds are held accountable by the shareholders. - Speth Tue, 10 May 2011 11:57:30 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8272-karen-hail-suing-midsouth#comment-17507 I worked under Karen Hail and she was the most respectable executive in the institution. She was one of the founding members and dedicated her life to Midsouth Bank. It does not suprise me that she was treated in such a manner. Disappointed but not suprised. - familiar Tue, 10 May 2011 11:51:17 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8272-karen-hail-suing-midsouth#comment-17506 Mr. Clotier without comment?Has this EVER happened before? - dangling participle Tue, 10 May 2011 11:45:31 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8272-karen-hail-suing-midsouth#comment-17503 You go girl, in this day and time you would think "the good ole boys club" would know we are not putting up with this type of behavior anymore. You stand up to them toe to toe and i'll be cheering you on all the way!!! - GraysonL Tue, 10 May 2011 11:29:40 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8272-karen-hail-suing-midsouth#comment-17500 Another "unavailable for comment" guy. It seems these guys are always available for comment when they get to puff about something that illustrates their depth of knowledge and authority. I'm sure he's meeting with his attorney right now figuring out how to silence this woman. - yesidoknow Tue, 10 May 2011 11:11:08 +0100
