In Tampa or NY it feels like entire teams are dominated by one group, and Indian managers/directors mainly hire and promote people from their own circle. It creates a closed-door environment where others don’t feel they have a fair chance. It’s... — read more 

I’m very confused to what HR has to do with a promotion process. If you get nominated for a promotion and it gets approved by all required people in your LOB- how is HR going to disapprove it or say “no this person can’t get promoted due to x,y,z. “... — read more

People are talking about this but I highly doubt there's any truth to it. Can anybody confirm something like this is in the works?

In Tampa, It is wild how managers suddenly disappear right before review time. They ghost you for weeks, then magically reappear with some cooked-up rating. This place doesn’t have a performance problem — it has a leadership problem. Especially with... — read more 

Anyone want to tell us about how Citi is handling AI use in various departments? I've heard that some departments aren't touching it, while others have gone full send and are exposing everything from policies to chats. Which one are you guys using... — read more

What's the hold up? I hear Managers have been asked to wait until January to have performance discussions.

New O&T initiative. Filter out must have staff. Rest can sink with the Titanic

Rumor is reviews for the data governance tech reviews are being done by HR, not managers, and are going to be used as a framework for RIFS so offshoring can be accelerated.

RIFs have been taking place since the first week of Sept. Get with it. Have there really been constant layoffs for the past few months? I haven't heard of anybody being cut since much earlier in the year. Yes, a lot of people are mentioning layoffs... — read more 

Those jokers just loved to deliver the matter of factly snarky message of “this is what’s best for Citi, we have to let you go” with such a smug look on their face. It’s time to replace those guys with AI. If there’s any test bed low hanging fruit... — read more

AI promises were made that it’d save TONS of $ and it has not. Now is the time to pay the piper and there are shareholder expectations to be met. They are expecting lots of cheddar on the promises made. So, you have to recoup that money from... — read more 

An email came out today stating that all Tampa employees will now require to go to the office 3 days per week (instead of 2 days) starting on January 20, 2026. I guess they want more people to leave on their own.

With Verizon laying off, what is the impact it has on Citi technology, Irving?

Work life balance left the building the day I accepted this role. Meetings bleed into evenings and weekends, and by Monday I’m already exhausted. If anyone has tips on reclaiming time, I’m all ears.

Layoff’s are one of the main tools to boost a companies stock price. Now that we are doing that with some more room to go, the price has risen 48% YTD. Again, there’ll be another round or two of layoffs of that I’m sure. So the question is... — read more

Citi should not block someone to move out when a 4 rating is intentional.

I’d like to approach my manager and volunteer for the severance package. 1 pay period per year that is. Are they accepting volunteer layoffs at this time? How does one know if they are?

Hello relatively new to Citi,worked hard last year.. from last 3 months my manager is unnecessary escalating things (earlier he was ok) now another peer (gave multiple prod issues,bring the system down in production once) is getting promoted it... — read more 

Heard there have to be 4s on the team. This might be the new strategy to get rid of some serious headcount without any severances. Track your work and have enough evidence to contest the 4s. If they want you out they want you out.

USPB is no more. Decisions will be made over next 6 weeks how to align the former USPB functions (Analytics, Risk, COO, and Client Experience) into Cards and Wealth. There will undoubtedly be layoffs in 1Q26 for these groups impacted. I’m sure... — read more 

Overall, being let go may be a blessing in disguise. Citi does not want people who WANT to be here but rather people who NEED to be here. People need a job that goes without saying after all you gotta pay the bills. Citi though, wants people who... — read more

If you resign and are going to a direct competitor, as a C15/16- does Citi generally make you work your notice period, or puts you on garden leave? Or does this vary case by case? Asking for a friend.

If someone is on WARN period notice and accepts a new job within a week, do we have to say we accepted a new job to the current employer? Will the new job affect getting both or only one (the notice period payout or severance)? Also, let’s say I... — read more

In today's all hands meeting, the CTO pretty much said Citi will follow the lines of Amazon and Meta and will be laying off people. He didn't say specific numbers and exactly when but the message to me sounds like there will be layoffs coming.
