There is HOW (Leadership) WHAT ( Risk/Financial/Client) does it matter and does it do anything if I have 3/3/2/3 or is it still 3/3 ?
3/3 rating and best review ever
Usually a 2/2 but 3/3 this year. However, I had the best feedback from a manager ever. All praise. I know some say a 3/3 is not bad, but nothing in the feedback was negative. Oh well, not surprised. I try but people can tell this extended... — read more

It does not matter unless you are in sales
Go above and beyond your role to help others across business or silos, volunteer as a leader in an affinity group, receive accolades for innovation….. none matters when your boss says “i had to mark you down nothing i can do about it.” If you don’t... — read more

In-seat Promotion
Any idea? What will be the no# this time.
Chase is back to 5 days a week in office.

Layoffs again

Sioux Falls
How’s Citi in Sioux Falls? Thinking of coming over.
No spark, no direction
The people in charge think holding steady means success. There's no plan, no vision, and no push for anything better. It’s just the same old story, day after day.
Managers MIA
Are your managers MIA too? Mine manager has been barely around lately (and they were not out much for the holiday and usually working, emailing us all the time, IMs, etc no matter what. They've been kind of non-existent since they got their annual... — read more

lies

For my 2025 New Year wish is for the board to pay attention and realize that the “Jane more of the same” is not working.
Now the the “first female CEO etc…” excitement is over with and has lost its shine, may the board start looking at results. Are we better off now than we were two years ago? In comparison to our banking peers, have we grown as much in market share... — read more
