On average, how many internal job applications must one apply to landing another job here? And does HR start counting it against you if you apply too much? I would imagine there is a blacklist.

Job Postings
Irving, O'Fallon, Jacksonville and Tampa all have numerous NEWLY posted jobs on the career site posted in late February and March. Is Citi still hiring despite RIF?
Is it worth sending in a complaint to the OCC?
The OCC encourages people that work at a covered bank to file a complaint when they believe that bank is not adhering to a consent order. Over the past year there have been Compliance, KYC, and Risk credit approvers let go. Those were the exact... — read more
Anyone landing somewhere new?
Plenty of people are looking, but I’m curious who’s actually managed to move on.
Why do they bother with the AI narrative?
We know we're being replaced by actual people. As if it matters who or what takes my job. The outcome is the same - I'll be unemployed.
Vicious circle.

"Get out, the call is coming from inside the house!!!"
"The call is coming from inside the house" is a famous horror movie trope and urban legend, most notably from the 1979 film When a Stranger Calls. It refers to a terrifying scenario where a person, receives threatening phone calls, only to discover... — read more
Have they ever backfilled a critical role? Ever?
My team is down to nothing. One more loss and the whole thing collapses. Two roles were highly specialized. Never backfilled, never even discussed. Workload's a mess, skills are missing, and no one cares. Okay, fine, cut if you must. But could there... — read more
Too many chiefs, not enough workers
I've noticed a significant shift lately. There's a huge focus on tracking work instead of doing it. We spend hours building decks to show productivity while actual tasks sit waiting. Meanwhile, there's a push to reduce small benefits that made the... — read more
Trust
Dear Citi, Trust is very costly feeling it’s difficult to gain and easy to loose. You and Managers are loosing that,No employee trust manager here.
Severance or Special Payment Received?
Has anyone from the mid January layoff communication received either Severance payment or Special Payment? Guessing all of this, as well as PTO payout will all come after term date, but just checking because of the language in the agreement: "... — read more

What are layoffs achieving?
Seriously, outside of short-sighted and short-lived cost cuts, has there ever been anything positive that can be associated with layoffs? We've been having one layoff after another, one restructuring after another, and nothing improves. In fact, it's... — read more
Contractor’s
Citi should dump them and keep FTE.
No more rounds before July?
Is that certain?
Just seat, relax, do the minimum.
There is no longer incentive to overachieve. All loyalty is gone. take care of yourself.

Don't get comfortable at Citi
The company's entire focus is reducing costs. That means nobody is secure, no matter what you might think or what your manager might have told you.. If you're thinking of relocating or making long-term plans, think again. This isn't a place with a... — read more

Layoff Location
Is all the layoff focused at Tampa and Texas? How about other locations, Manila, India, Warsaw, Belfast, Dublin or UK or Costa Rica etc etc.
AML in Tampa Impacted?
Anyone know if AML was affected?
Tampa layoffs
Anybody?
KYC Cards
Looks like onshore KYC Cards had impacts today
KYC US Layoffs
KYC layoffs within Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Tampa locations today. Offshoring the work to Costa Rica while there they struggle to work through the cases leading to greater customer impact. All in the name of cutting costs, right?

Everyone at the office says the same exact thing about HR and AI.
If you want to trim away the useless, then start with HR. Just keep the bare bones skeleton crew, let the HR chatbot and AI do the rest of that work. If Citi AI can’t handle the mundane low hanging fruit HR work, then it has no place trying to be... — read more
Belfast thinks they are safe. It’s all about the crossed fingers and let’s huddle together.
Just like so many other sites, they were given a feel good speech and feel all safe and sound. It’s all nice weather before the storm hits. The layoffs are a roving spot light. Sometimes it quickly passes over, sometimes it stops and stays for a... — read more
This will be a hard post as I have to be vague.
So after the multi phased layoff, re-orgs, I have a MD 3 layers up that does not understand the tech they are over. No shocker there, but they are making decisions that more than hamper operations. I can’t be specific naturally but let’s just say... — read more
Low cost centers affected
I have a meeting today. Scheduled very late night. 90% chance being cut. I will come back to update if it's true. People in US already were told to retire if they can. Being in Tech or in low cost center does not save you.
Seemed quiet today
I'm in risk and I have contacts across sites and functions and I didn't hear anything about any layoffs today. I know that means nothing but usually I hear things. Anybody else?

No layoff today in my location (canada tech)
Was it a wrong info (March layoff) , I can say about my location ( my project and surrounding) no layoff news so far.
Toxic Citi Culture

Internal Audit
Does anyone know what happened to some of the C15s in Internal Audit. I just searched some C15s that I knew in Internal Audit and all their direct reports are there in global directory but they now C14 report to C16….Did the layoffs impact Audit?
