What does that mean? What can I expect? New to Citi and workday
Do more with less!
Is anybody else so fu--ing tired of having this as an expectation? Every time we ask for resources or support, it’s like talking to a wall. They just pile on more work and expect miracles without giving a damn about the people actually doing it.

Citi work environment is total chaos
Very few people are actually doing their jobs, and there’s zero accountability when they do not. Processes are completely broken, and anyone with a decent work ethic ends up carrying the load for everyone else. I’m beyond exhausted by this and... — read more
Workload nightmare
Sometimes it feels like we’re stuck in an endless loop, all pushed to the edge by exhaustion just to pay our bills and keep our homes. Management couldn’t care less. The way they run people into the ground gets packaged as “strong performance.”... — read more

Class action lawsuit for performance based firing to save the severance
This is an open secret. It's not a new thing Citi is doing, it has done same in past with Kathleen Martin Whistleblower and many others and now it's doing in mass. Should do a class action lawsuit it's wrong.

Can you access workday for paystubs on personal device?
Is there a way to access workday without having to sign in on my work laptop? It’s so inconvenient having to do that just to go on workday. I’d assume that we’re allowed to access our paystubs on personal devices on our personal devices.

Who decides the training catalog?
What an inordinate amount of training. There's 1-2 literally due every week. Sometimes it's 6-7 per month. In Dec alone, I have done 6 so far. No one learns anything like this. Some id--t somewhere is checking the boxes, and the entire firm is going... — read more

Citi has turned completely toxic
It went from being a place where people actually collaborated to one where everyone is just looking out for themselves. The leadership at the top seems to have no real plan or vision to fix anything. There's no trust left, and the constant negativity... — read more
Raise without promotion?

The core problem with Citi is the MD gremlins.
Gremlins that instead of fostering an environment of positive growth in such a way that you WANT to be here and others from the outside WANT to be part of Citi…… You have gremlin MDs that rely on desperate people that NEED to be here. These are... — read more

Financial reset fears abound.
If there is a global financial reset like they are talking about, employed or not, we’re all in trouble. Half the economist don’t want to talk about it out of fear that it’d cause a panic sell of stocks, which in turn expedites it. The other half... — read more
Exploit the dream
In Tampa or NY it feels like entire teams are dominated by one group, and Indian managers/directors mainly hire and promote people from their own circle. It creates a closed-door environment where others don’t feel they have a fair chance. It’s... — read more
Promotions at Citi
I’m very confused to what HR has to do with a promotion process. If you get nominated for a promotion and it gets approved by all required people in your LOB- how is HR going to disapprove it or say “no this person can’t get promoted due to x,y,z. “... — read more
