I can't understand how some people can keep so calm and almost ignore everything that's been happening. I guess it's a case of "if it didn't happen to me, it's not an issue." Until it does happen to them. But I guess I'm the id--t for trying to warn... — read more
High cost location layoffs
Really wondering how these high cost locations are going to exist if we can’t hire and keep letting people go?? Like what is going to be the point of the Tampa, NJ, or NYC locations if we can’t use them??
SVP + Individual Contributors in High Cost Locations
What is the point of keeping SVP+ ICs in high cost locations while full teams are being laid off ? What is their exact contribution?
Whole team is gone!
We have been informed today that OB team located in Abu Dhabi is being moved to another hub so we all are let go :(
Layoffs incoming
Had a “business update” meeting. Gave essentially no information, saying layoff coming but not saying who or when. Just to expect trainings with offshore. This was weird as it involved a few different teams and they suggested that some teams will... — read more
Quitting week 1
Can I quit in 1 week? Do I need to give a notice? It is really horrible here. My manager might make me do 2 weeks. Really crazy person
Trade Preclearance once you're let go
Typical Citi, their FAQ to fired employees says you still have to receive trade preclearance while on Garden leave. But when you call compliance they have no idea how to preclear you because you're no longer in the system and HR just sends an auto... — read more
Everything wrong with Citi leadership summed up
Recent LinkedIn slop post by Mike Whitaker that perfectly explains why the Citi MDs that have no clue get the seats that they have: “Nobody is going to manage your career for you. I wish someone had told me that in 1980 when I walked into NatWest... — read more

All KYC and Central Banker account opening being offshores
We were unexpectedly pulled into a team meeting by our C13 yesterday, which was unusual. After the 50% layoff on June 10, we were informed that the layoffs are not finished. The remaining members of our team are expected to be let go sometime within... — read more

That’s all. That’s the post.
100-year presence in Germany
CITI just celebrated its 100-year presence in Germany! How does your country handle these kinds of major corporate centennials?
Employment lawyer?
Can someone recommend an employment lawyer to help with severance issue? Preferably from past experience.
Promote better
Too many managers got promoted for being good workers, not for knowing how to lead. At least teach them some people skills before putting them in charge of actual people.
DEI Layoffs?
I wonder if any DEI department employees were let go.
Remote vs Hybrid
The B levels in my dept all got fully remote status a year ago. And the C levels got an increase from 2 to 3 days in office. Anyone know why this is? I thought at some point C levels would get remote status too.
I'm hoping there are layoffs this week
I'm so over feeling overwhelming dread every Sunday. Give me severance and I'll happily leave. Even being unemployed would be better for my mental health than this constant torture.
Share your feedback on AI adoption in your project

Can I be fire for looking for another role?
With all the doubt around the campus I sent my resume for a role. Turns out the role, through an agency, is with my team and the agent sent my resume to my manager. She wants to meet me Monday, can I be fired for looking for other work in this time... — read more
Tampa layoffs mid July
MD let’s slip on a call Friday that there are layoffs coming mid July. What are you guys hearing?
I've survived twelve months of nonstop bad news
I joined Citi in July last year, and since then it's been nothing but cuts, stress, increases in workload, and a plethora of other issues. Every time I thought it was over, something else happened. Is it always going to be like this? What are the... — read more
Any idea about redundancies/layoffs at London?
I joined Citibank London very recently. Just last week my director announced that they’re leaving the team as part of a new org structure and our team will be reporting to a new director. I’m worried if this could be a prelude to layoffs. Does... — read more
How does the WARN notice take affect if I lived in NY for 3 months then moved to NJ.
What if its the summer equinox after the mid year election on a Tues and I’m on vacation leave. If they send out a notice on a Wednesday before that Tues. how am I affected? Do I get extra pay or am I penalized? I’ve read the handbook and I don’t... — read more

If I worked in Texas for 3/4 of the year, then move to NY and am on the list to be let go, do I get a WARN notice?
Even if I’ve not worked in NY for a full year.
90 Day WARN Period
The documentation says that I will notify Citi if I find a new job during notice period, and that they will pay the balance in a lump sum. Does that basically mean you get the balance of what is left of the 90 Days' notice period, but you lose... — read more
I’m in NY and am worried about being let go but I want to be prepared.
What’s the WARN notice? How does it pertain to being let go?
Got put on a PIP recently
How sc--wed am I?
I think the most recent round of layoffs confirmed what many of us suspected
Citi is on a path of steady decline. It will keep shedding employees, it will keep shrinking until there's barely anything left of what once was. And then even that small remaining piece will collapse and take whoever is still there with it. So... — read more

What are qualifications to become Director
I’ve volunteered to be let go and they just keep passing me by.
A theory I have is this….if you want to go, you are more likely to NOT be chosen. If you are it sends the wrong message. “Look at that guy leave, he’s so happy. People will start to question as to why should they stay here like this guy.” If you... — read more
What’s the deal with the NY\NJ WARN notice discussions?
A third of the posts are in regards to the many different ways that the WARN notice for NY\NJ can be interpreted, why? Is it really that complex? Is it really that dynamic to where it changes so often, you have to constantly crunch the numbers? ... — read more
Severance Payment
I just received my PTO payment from Citi. However, I did not receive the severance. When is severance supposed to be paid at the same time as PTO or separate?

Has anyone attempted to negotiate for a higher severance during the layoffs?
So Citi has we-ponized Big 4 consulting firms
post below has been copy pasted from Reddit, but sounds legit - sneaky and underhanded enough for Citi - because nothing, and I mean nothing, is below Citi's dignity as a firm. And the Big 4 consulting firm in question? Very likely PwC, the alma... — read more
