Financial Triage Dressed Up as Leadership
Jane’s leadership has been woefully incompetent. The company hasn’t collapsed because it’s too large, too entrenched, and too systemically important to be allowed to fail easily. Instead of innovating, growing, and making money through better... — read more

New CTO coming in, heads will roll in tech
New CTO coming in, Al Tara being demoted back to ciso. Definitely more cuts coming in tech, would bet money on it. Best case he just replaces a few MDs with his own friends, worst case he realizes what a complete sh*t show Citi tech infrastructure is... — read more

What happened to Borabora
Train still stalled?
They are measuring 8 hours spent in the office
Just confirmed on C15 level in a meeting, so unless you guys want to be on a PIP better adhere to it because your manager will land in hot water for it, and there is nothing managers hate more than taking responsibility for their employees.

No seat for booking
Ever since they rolled out this pos seat booking workplace app, I often wonder the brains behind this. The problem was bad earlier with people just booking (and blocking) even if they are not coming. But with RTO, there is no space left to book. What... — read more
