Been here just under a year
Every week my job drifts a little further from what I was actually hired to do. At this point I’m basically in a completely different role, and nobody’s said a word about it. No conversation, no training, no change to my title or pay. I’ve brought it... — read more
Different kind of CTO Townhall
This townhall stood out from the usual scripted updates—it felt more real, direct, and intentional. Instead of just showcasing achievements or high-level strategy, this one leaned into transparency, addressing ground realities. The tone was more... — read more
Genuinely curious
Noticing a pattern lately where a lot of the heavy lifting gets done by individual contributors, and then the narrative shifts upward when it’s time to present outcomes. Genuinely curious—why does this keep happening, especially at the D and SVP... — read more
TPS Reports
I want to clarify expectations around the TPS reports. My understanding is that this work is being assigned to D, but there seems to be confusion about whether it should be completed directly to the SVP level. From my perspective, the current... — read more
Citi-Apocalypse
Been glued to this site since the reorg announcement couple years back and it's just spiraling downwards. Total implosion is the only way to describe it. The culture and morale? Words fail me. Honestly, I'm starting to feel bummed that I haven't been... — read more
BAIN is in da House!
Lots of freed up $$$ to teach Citi how to restructure and fire people.
No mention of PTO in separation agreement
RIF'd in February and received my separation package this morning. The dates are right and the weeks lump sum is correct but there is no mention how the PTO will be paid out. Falling under the rule of 60, in a conversation with HR a few weeks ago... — read more
Reimbursement for unused accrued vacation days
For those of you who got RIF'd and then were reimbursed, supposedly in the final paycheck, for unused accrued vacation days, are all the deductions like medical and dental taken out of the pay for the unused vacation days?
Every week is a new plan
One week it’s “focus on growth,” the next it’s cost cutting, then it’s something else entirely. No one knows what the priorities are anymore, and it shows in how teams operate. At this point, the layoffs don’t even feel shocking, they feel like the... — read more

Boston Consulting Group coming back for assessments at Technology gp. Be ready!
Getting a 4 & Severance
There has been a lot of back and forth on this topic. Lots of people got 4’s this year out of the blue. The question: are those people Who got a surprise 4 denied their severance? I’m talking 3/4 rating with no PIP
What's the deal with PIPs here?
Are they legit or just a way to get rid of people without paying them severance? Is there a point in trying to "improve," or not?
Salary change c12 to c13
Can someone moving from c12 to c13 plan for the mid part of the salary range of a c13 in the US? Or will it be at the low end of a c13 range?
3/20 payment for Jan 14 RIFs
Was today’s payment for vacation or was that the special payment? I know we will receive a stub in the next couple of days via mail but curious if anyone knows now
June Layoffs
Does any managers here know around when the June layoff hit? Will it be early or mid month?
Have the layoffs slowed down
I'm certainly not defending Citi and I'm well aware that a deluge of layoffs or a 'quick tiuchbase" could happen any time but card layoff activity has been low or nonexistent in March. Anybody seeing something different?
Warsaw CSC
Anyone knows what are the plans for Warsaw Hub? I haven’t heard any layoffs so far and I am looking for opportunities over there.
101
I’ve been in a work environment where leadership is often framed as “shared,” with the message that everyone is leading. In reality, it doesn’t feel that way. There’s a pattern of conversations being guided toward a preferred outcome, where input is... — read more

Long overdue
So Mark Mason is leaving because Jane C0ckblocked him to CEO's position
by convincing the board to let her become the chairman, so Mark had no chance of being CEO as long as Fraser is around. Then again, Mark had some sc--wups himself, most notably in failing to automate CCAR reporting (which I believe ultimately led to... — read more

What is Steer program in Citi?
My manager informed me that I will be under Steer program where HR will try to connect with me in detail. Anyone has any idea?

Severance agreement
How long are you given to sign the severance agreement ? One day? One week ? Other ?

Public service announcement - if you were laid off in 2025, you should still receive the company 401k match. It was contributed to accounts on March 13, 2026. Check your 401k accounts to confirm. Also, if you were contributing to the Citi company... — read more
Remind me, what's really the point of consultants?
Nobody is ever going to convince me that competent leadership needs some jack-of-all-trades consultants to improve their business. No chance in he-l an outsider has a clue compared to in-house institutional knowledge and experience.
NYC WARN Notice
Have all of the approx. 265 people impacted by the April Layoff been notified already in some fashion?
I’d like someone to explain to me how this makes sense.
“Innovate, use the latest tech, develop the latest tech. Now hurry up and go into the office instead of working remotely.” Talk about old school. Yet we try to sell that we are on the ‘cutting edge’.

The building over in Dubai was bombed in an Iranian attack according to MSN. I hope everyone is safe. God Bless
60 day notice period
If I start a new job with another company during my 60 day non working notice do I forfeit my severance? What is citi’s policy on this?
Severance, Special Payment, Vacation Payout
For anyone who has received, does this come via direct deposit, as all previous payroll payments have come? Or are they checks cut and mailed?
Mississauga Audit
We've been hearing rumors that they plan on closing the Canada audit group in Mississauga. Can anyone confirm?
Misery loves company.
Anytime someone offers advice on an exit strategy, its followed by trolling of “Thank you Mr. recruiter” or “thank you LinkedIn headhunter” . I think that most people at Citi enjoy the warmth blanket of group misery. Its easier to swallow and cope... — read more
SVP salary Tampa
What's a fair acceptable range for SVP role in Tampa for a senior person? I know this is a sinking ship and its a temporary boat for me. Ranges posted are 155 to 230k and most of them are willing to pay around 155. Why post the range so high if they... — read more
The rhetoric of “I think we are done” are just words manifesting from hope.
Guys, there are plans to layoff ‘x’ amount every single quarter. It may be all at the start of the Q or it may be spread out per month. Either way, each quarter is slated to let go a certain amount of people. I’d love to tell you to breathe a... — read more
The list of better options

Layoff number for the rest of 2026
Has the Q1 round of layoffs wrapped up? Are we expecting another round at the end of Q2? What’s the full-year target for layoffs, and how many have already been cut so far? I only saw media mention 1,000 in January, but no numbers for March or the... — read more
