There is concerning behavior from a senior leader where employees who do not directly report to him or who question his direction appear to become silent targets — excluded, unsupported, or sidelined. Meanwhile, those who report to him and comply... — read more
Laid off yesterday
The calendar invite arrived about 90 minutes before the call. It just said ‘Catch-up’. I knew what it was before I even clicked "Join." My manager was already there but no one from HR attended. He stayed on script—no small talk, just the standard... — read more
PSA - PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT from someone who has "been there, done that" recently:
Change your 401k automatic payroll deduction to 0 ASAP! If you got laid off, cash is king, don't worry about retirement at this moment - changing to 0 will increase your paychecks for the non-working notice period. If you think you might be laid off... — read more

It's sad how normal layoffs have become
It's not even shocking anymore. I feel like I'm numb to it all. I guess the "boiling frog" theory is right.
Laid Off Before It Was Cool
The first blow is the shock. Not the gentle kind, but the kind that steals the air from your lungs. You’re first, first to fall, first to be told so there’s no reference point. No one ahead of you to say, this hurts, but it passes. No map to follow... — read more
Layoff with 4
Does anyone know getting laid off with 4 rating- does it mean less or no or any difference in severance? Got laid off today, asked manager he told HR will let me know. Told the reason restructuring.
Badge deactivation email
Has anyone received an email about the badge being deactivated before layoffs discussions? Several teammates have received an email stating the badge has been deactivated and when they speak with their leader the leader doesn’t answer any questions.
Trim Ryan’s Thursday Email mentions more layoffs
When will this be over damn it?
Everyone is moaning about Jane F raise in pay. Don’t forget the stock awards.
Factor in that too as you mull over possibly being let go. Don’t forget, we are better together, unless of course you are let go, then you are on your own. . “Citigroup Chief Executive Jane Fraser has been elected as chair of the bank's board and... — read more
What to do in current situation?
I'm a middle aged employee, having some financial commitments, was a high performer, have been given 4 last year. The work I am doing I'm not needed for it. Told multiple times,build another resource who may replace but I believe they are keeping me... — read more
CEO Raise while staff cut
What a real win for Jane. Citibank cuts staff for raises to the top executives. No one knows including the entire department. You just vanish after 10 years and they say nothing. While Jane received a $41 million dollar pay day. I certainly... — read more
How big does your yacht have to be?
Having worked here for a number of years we've all heard of the "restructuring" BS that has people in a constant wave of panic. Even though I am upset at how I was laid off, ultimately I'm glad and think this can help me in the future. Useless MD/D &... — read more
Management isn't telling their teams anything
Got RIF'd, 60 day garden leave, standard 2 weeks for every year, blah blah blah. I have (former lol) coworkers calling me asking me where I am, asking if I can help with X or Y when I'm "back from vacation." Seems like management isn't telling their... — read more
Is there a way to know
If someone is RFI'd, does anything chane immediately in the global directory?
North America's Bloodbath
Irving was heavily impacted by yesterday’s layoffs. Each team lost at least two team members. The network side was particularly affected — including NSS, ECC, Load Balancing, DNS, Tools Team. These are core operational functions! Each Data Center... — read more
Carnage
Carnage across Tech and Controls teams this week. It’s like a turkey shoot. Sites hit hard New York, Jersey, Tampa and telecommuters. Folk are getting an hour’s notice of the call and their system access is cut at the end. No ifs and no buts just a... — read more
Russia charge
Can we hope to finally see those MDs who made the poor decisions to expose the company to the risk around Russia (a country on the US-sanction list since 2014 and its illegal invasion so hardly a case of "how could we have known?") finally held... — read more
MO Impacts
Has anyone in the O'Fallon location been impacted? If so, what business areas?
Jane is laughing her @ss off every time her direct deposit hits.
22% raise while the masses get ran off to pay for it. Every single employee is a pawn, a commodity to be used traded and discarded at will. You are no more to her than stapler. AI promises were made and it did not work out. It will eventually but... — read more
How citi got a banner year
Citi did extraordinary well in 2025 and made it's position top among global banks and J got a 42 million etc but how did it happen? They are cutting left and right, people are overworking, or not working (like me,got fed up with lowest rating). So... — read more

I refuse to believe that layoffs are happening today.
After all in the past few weeks there’s been rebuttal after rebuttal of naysayers heckling the h*ll out of anyone who said that it’d not take place. It’s all a figment of your imagination.

Which areas are being hit the hardest?
I'm seeing people report layoffs all over the place.
Just laid off
TX area. Meeting was scheduled hour in advance.
How the managers are safe
If it's cost performance, it should hit the MD D SVPs isn't it.why i see only VP getting affected
The two way street
All you hear is “there’s a storm a comin”, whatever. What most managers don’t realize or don’t care to realize is that for now things are slanted one way…..for now. There is a storm coming, yeah, I get it, layoffs. After the dust settles... — read more
New opening
How safe is a new job opening now?
Lay off logic
I'm a Manager and I have had to lay off top raters over low performers because the leader has a vision. I can tell you, ratings have some sway but ultimately no one is safe from the shoulder tap. Keep your options open.
Running Citi into the ground
They cut and cut and cut, and somehow expect things to keep running smoothly. It doesn't work that way. This company could be great, but leadership is ki-ling it one layoff at a time.
Staying far too long
After decades in the workforce, I thought I’d seen it all, until my time at Citi. I stayed way longer than I should’ve, missing the signs while the culture kept getting worse. The amount of spin and dishonesty up the chain was unreal. Looking back... — read more
The H3LL with this.
Way too much uncontrolled uncertain chaos. Tons of lame misguided of both decision and indecision. Coulda woulda shoulda not sure so layoff. Hire from other banks……oooppss…they went somewhere else now. Umm stick with the layoff plan I guess... — read more
Citi is done with transformation (data, risk anything else)
It's just too much of a cost center in the eyes of Jane and her EMT's. The expense associated with it is a blot on the balance sheet and has now become unbearable for senior management. They think they can manage the present administration into... — read more
CEO made 42 Million (22% raise) and FTE got 2%
This is capitalism on steroids. Thanks America!!! People are being laid off and CEO is being rewarded as if she found crypton!! What a world we live in. No CEO should make more than 30 times of average FTE salary!!
