I haven’t seen any WARN notices go out in NY. Layoffs must be limited so far.
More Woke DEI BS
In the midst of mass layoffs, Citi is more concerned with 'inclusive language' and trying to be like Google. Anyone else see that ridiculous CTI announcement banning words like whitelist, master contracts, etc. What a joke this place has become.
Anyone hear about MD layoffs in Marketing?
Or the Client Org (previously PBWM)?
Anyone been impacted?
Has anyone been laid off at MD level or below? Please let us know
Internal Audit
Has anyone from IA been laid off as yet? If so, how was it done? Was HR and chief auditor/or directors involved in the meeting?
Definitely started....
If you get a unexpected meeting on your calendar today - good luck.
Just Do It
I'm sorry, but this is kind of ridiculous. The company needs to just go on and be honest with people. Do what you say you're going to do so people can move on with their lives. Enough of the rumors and leaking stuff to the media.
Did anyone receive any meetings yet?
Wondering if they started or are they waiting until EOD.

Why drag it out?
You can't tell me they couldn't notify everybody today. Why drag it out for basically a full week and let us stress over it even longer? Not to mention, some people will find out they lost their jobs a day or two before Thanksgiving. How... — read more
MAY THE ODDS EVER BE IN YOUR FAVOR
I’m a C11 and honestly nobody is feeling comfortable/confident if they will be here after November, GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/15/citigroup-layoffs-begin-in-jane-fraser-overhaul.html
Here we go
Let's see if today is really the day or if we'll have to wait even longer to learn if we still have a job or not.
HR monitoring or not.
I wonder if HR combs through these posts daily, correlates comments and feeds them straight to the upper echelon for consumption. Does anyone have any insight on this?
No more sleep for me
I guess I should be happy I managed to get as much as I did. Today will be a long, long day.
It reminds me of South Park underwear gnomes episode.
Youtube that episode and compare. Step 1: Steal underwear Step 3: Make money. What’s step 2? No one knows. Gotta sell the layoffs to the board in January as a true win. A hail Mary attempt to keep the board from voting her out. I do have my... — read more
What is the WARN period for NY?
Given it may take few months to land a new job - does anyone know the exact WARN period for NY.. Maybe someone who was already let go and availing this benefit can shed some light.. Bracing for impact
Tomorrow vs day before GobbleGobble
They did say …. In “November” So hasn’t been Monday nor Tuesday …. Tomorrow? What’s worse - tomorrow or day before thanksgiving

Was Stuart Riley fired?
Stuart Riley is Co-CIO , we just received an email that he is leaving the firm. Did he just leave or was he fired?
What about Tuesday?
Do we know if there'll be any cuts?
I joined Citi in April
That puts me at just over half a year here. This is the second major layoff in that period. Being one of the last ones to join, my stress levels are through the roof once again waiting to see what's going to happen. The worst thing is, I had other... — read more
It’s 11am …..
Updates?
Layoffs would be announced this week?
Anyone knows if layoffs will be announced this week? If so, which day? I wonder if it would be a last min meeting or they’d schedule in advance?
As usual, no matter which sector or company employees pay the price for bad leadership.
You have to have a proven track record of leadership failure in order for the board to “do something about it”. Well, I believe we are on the cusp of that now. The pending layoffs are Janes last hail Mary attempt to try and reverse the damage.
Good to join CITI now
Got an offer for Citi , pay is decent for a VP role. Is it advisable to join CITI now . I am concerned with all the layoff talks and trying to gauge if its good to take a chance ? Any advise please
Good article in the Financial Times on how this is being misplayed
“If you were a manager, would you want to be handed what organisation you get or would you want a say in the structure?” asks Citi’s chief human resources officer Sara Wechter. Her view is supported by some workplace experts, who say that a... — read more
Industry heads on the block
No more industry heads and coneheads, that is the word. The title has lost its meaning at Citi due to the sheer abundance of these roles.
Any groups that have no work?
Any groups you’ve seen have no work/nothing to do…as a result of the restructuring? ICG or PBWM
Slow motion train wreck
Who thought this long drawn out process would be a good idea? Plain Jane? This is absolutely incredible. I am assuming it was leaked and threw a monkey wrench in their plan, otherwise this is bottom barrel management.
Next Monday …..
Heard next Monday is the day for the higher up Minions will be slashed in Jan

Nov 15th or Nov 20th is when layoff would be announced?
Any idea when the layoffs would be announced? I am hearing from some that it’s Nov 15th (wednesday next week) and from others Nov 20th (monday of the Thanksgiving week)
Here's some perspective on the final layoff count
Wells Fargo has cut 40,000 jobs in the past three years, and according to this article, they show no signs of stopping. Citibank, on the other hand, is in a much worse position efficiency-wise, and the company has been struggling for over a decade. I... — read more
Pay on Thursday
Does anybody know why we got paid on Thursday rather than Friday? Is that a sign of upcoming layoffs?
Best alternatives

Would there be a notice period for those they lay off?
Curious if there would be a notice period for those who will be laid off in Nov? If so, how long? 45 days or more?

Laughable vicious cycle
So Citi “tries” to meet the market standard when it comes to salary for top talent. They are at best low to average in that area. Then later, they decide to layoff or run off people for whatever reason. Often times they run off people making the... — read more
I wish they would just do it
I'd rather know today if I'm losing my job than speculate and worry for the next few weeks or months. This is going to be a true nightmare.
