International women’s day….enough!!
What’s a better time to virtue signal when a decent number of positions affected or to be affected were held by women.
RTO hubs
Mine looks like everything but RTO en masse. I am beginning to think that RTO, like so many other things, will never really happen and it will get reshaped and changed many times as a strategy until all those jobs are outsourced to Moon. Corporate... — read more
Citi really knows how to kick it up a notch on boosting morale.
It’s hard to be motivated. We are told to, think outside the box, automate, work smarter not harder, simplify things, remove excessive layers, mitigate risk etc… Then we, cut back on staff, complicate steps with more processes, demand to do more... — read more
Young Citi People
To any young person considering joining Citi beware. If you get hired by Citi go for it. Get the Citi name on your resume. You’ll learn very old outdated processes and get no real world industry experience but atleast you’ll get the big name on your... — read more
3 days in the office
Has anyone suffered any consequences for not going into the office 3 days a week (A warning, written up, rates less than a 3)? My site is still a ghost town. There has been no mass return to the office.
H1b layoffs
Do you think lots of h1b workers will be layoff. As h1b counts are more in VP zone.
It's eerily quiet here at Citi.
Feels like the quiet before the storm 😴.

How many applications per week do you submit?
If you are actively looking for a new job, how many is enough to give you a chance of landing something?
Do managers know ahead of time who is getting laid off?
I'm sure at the highest, EMT- level, people know way in advance, but I'm talking about direct managers or maybe even their managers. Would they know like a week or two in advance or is something they find out at the last minute? Kind of curious to... — read more

Team leads in aml gone
Hearing of at least four in tampa. Anyone hear of group managers or analysts???
Update EMEA - Poland
At Citibank Europe Polska the current proposals affect 485 roles (less than 7% of our employment). For some people, this means a change in role or a proposal to take on a new role. For some it may mean leaving the firm. These are difficult... — read more
It's not going to end in four weeks
I wish I could believe this will be done in four weeks and we'll be able to go back to business as usual, but chances of that are slim to none. A floodgate has been opened and it's going to be really hard to close it, especially with those at the top... — read more
Job market will get worse
The U.S. labor market, for as tight as it has been over the last couple of years, is about to get a little looser, experts warn. In California, New York and Washington, companies are gearing up for a steep number of layoffs affecting a wide range... — read more

My Audit schedule
My audit schedule doesn't have any audits for the remainder of the year on it as yet. Don't know why it's taking so long to update or if there will be additional cuts. They did mention that IA was finished with cuts within phase 3.
Jim Adams Leaving
Wow Jim Adam's leaving. Saw that coming.
Citi is a weird old place
I have never seen a top-tier institution full of so many whiny, low-qualified people who are clinging to comp and ben they can never get anywhere else because no good company will ever hire them at such level as Citi. Pathetic. This is why so many... — read more
Technology Leadership ?
D's and MD's in Technology division should come from Technology background. Why there is a requirement of pure "Business" background executives in Technology ? How much they worked in technology to be in current position ? How much they coded ? How... — read more
Tantrum
What if long-time SVPs and VPs throw a tantrum that they are not going to have direct reports cos there are not enough people going around, especially when C15s and above require six or more direct reports?
Minimum 6 ?
I heard that manager must have minimum 6 employees under them( contractor not included) What will have if have less ?
All of Jane’s all hands meetings summed up in two sentences.
We’re a family….until the number aren’t awesome….then we’re acquaintances. Wait, let me check, ok, my 6% raise is in…..yeah, we’re acquaintances.
Citi filed layoff notice on WARN site - so laid off employees won’t get 90/60 days notice?
Looks like Citi filed a notice of layoff on WARN website. Does it mean those who get laid off in March won’t get 90/60 day notice?
Jane and the Shills now showing at a cafeteria near you
Is it me or is everyone tired of the Mary Poppins (Jane) show. There is nothing authentic about her 15s and nobody seems to be buying her rhetoric. The questions are predetermined with practiced answers and the audience is filled with shills.
So head of IA told employees IA IA done with layoffs
Head of IA told audit employees within the NYC townhall this week that their done with layoffs within phase 3 and there shouldn't be any more cuts since the new org charts went out in January. Don't trust it, think they don't want more people... — read more

Mental conditioning has a solid root in Citi.
I believe Citi has worked really hard at fostering that they are “Corp Elite” for which you have no recourse but to bend to their will and honestly it works. Assuming that half of the posts are true about verbally abusive managers and various... — read more
There will be even more layoffs then initially proposed
Once executive management gets that taste of blood in their mouth and realize the ones left will get the work done they will continue more cuts. They cant help themselves anything to make the stock raise a $1
Changes to departments behind email Address
Did anyone notice changes in Outlook to departments listed after a persons name. My managers has changed. Some others on the team change when type name but they quickly change back

They could always ask for volunteers
This was said before but I'll say it again. If Citi asked for volunteers, there are plenty of us who would be happy to take the company up on that. That would make this whole process much less painful for everybody involved. Why we haven't had a... — read more
