Is moving from Tech to ICM possible at Citi?

Someone posted on fishbowl that full return to office in 2027. Does that mean remote workers would have to relocate to keep jobs? Or do you think just those hybrid will be required 5 days a week.

I had 8 days of carryover PTO from 2025 that I wasn’t able to use. My termination date was April 16. When I reached out to HR, I was informed that I would be paid for the unused carryover PTO since I wasn’t able to use it before the April 1 deadline... — read more 

Dealing with a boss who lies

I am thinking of taking a job in USPB. Would you recommend that department and a good future there?

Anyone had success getting out of PIP? Or once you are on it, you are done?

I have seen just about every location in North America on one list or another here saying it s a "high cost" market. They can't all be high cost. I guess what i really want to know is what cities/states are considered "low cost" if any exist.

Did this already happen? What I mean by that is, were people already notified and their end dates are in May and June or is this something new that's about to take... — read more 

I spent years trying to earn a promotion and the bonuses that come with it. Every time I got close, something changed. The metrics shifted, the requirements increased, or the timeline got extended. At first I thought it was bad luck but then I... — read more 

Cannot say more, but some teams in Risk are being considered for cuts. Target looks like around at least 20 percent of teams in high-cost locations should be gone by EoY. This would be either through relocation to cheaper place or redundancy.

My last day is today but I didn’t receive my last paycheck that comes with the PTO/ sick days. Does that mean it’s coming in on Thursday?

The record keeping, filing, personnel data correlation yada yada….is nowhere near technically complicated as a majority of roles. If AI can’t manage that, then you can forget it being able to handle anything more than that. So, start there. Let... — read more 

Anyone hear anything about cuts in AML?

Will there be more cuts?

Does Citi post WARN notices? Florida, Texas, Delaware? I am curious as I have checked but haven’t seen one and I am aware that there have been many layoffs in these states.

My wife lost her job three months ago. She worked there nine years. We have four kids. If I get laid off, we're ruined. Please share real information. I just want to provide for my family.

Has anyone had any sort of luck using the Talent Redeployment program / link as contained in the HR notice relating to Employee Separation ?

Our company requires 3 days in office, but at my location, I’ve noticed some people come in, stay around 3 hours, and then leave after lunch. Does HR actually track the hours spent on-site—like is there a minimum of 6 hours or something? We have to... — read more

They are not worried about being out of compliance for years. The only thing that seems to matter is getting their scorecard to look green and protecting their bonus. It is a bunch of fat cats running the place into the ground, then moving on... — read more 

I doubt that Citi had extra “credit” with the Boston Consultancy group. This is probably just said to cover up spending the money for consulting since we are supposed to be in saving mode.

Buying SaaS products from vendors sounds simple—subscribe and go—but it’s where a lot of companies quietly lose money or flexibility if they don’t evaluate properly. Citi can save lot of money if they stop all SaaS tomorrow instead of cuts

Florida will have cuts at the end of this month in a certain team. They just want all the work finished first, then May 1 there will be a 5 min outlook invite.

I know people keep mentioning so called "surgical" layoffs that are constantly happening, but this seems larger than that. Am I wrong?

A team member based out of NY got impacted. They are cutting the roles from NY, Tampa, London and moving them to Canada, Mexico and Poland. Take care of yourself people!

This is a rhetorical question. What's your theory...

So, here’s the situation: Other teams have actually been pulling work away from us, thanks to all the AI fears, restructuring, and process simplifications. Our MD is super hands-off, and now we’re averaging under two hours of work a day. I have no... — read more

Roles are going to Poland or AI.… “too much work” that’s what they say. Now they track how long we are active, production expectations through the roof, people getting ROD or PIP…. I heard June and July. Possibly FIU first?

Citi is quietly doing layoffs without much noise like Amazon or Microsoft. They are not in news much. The government must look into the fake internal job postings, promotions for favorite candidates, and immigration visa abuse. Citi is notorious for... — read more 

Was given notice of layoff in February and my last day is next week Tuesday. How many PTO days would I have if from the beginning of the year until now? Is it like an extra week worth of pay?

In the document they gave me they said it’ll take 1-2 pay periods to process and be delivered into your bank account but I’m seeing cases on here where people are waiting a few months out and still haven’t gotten it. Are these outliers?

How does a company justify not paying severnace even though they are making headlines for record profits? Do you think the 5 digi severnace they give is that hard? I got laid off January and still waiting on severnace

A few C14s in my team were RIFed as well as a C15. We were under Ross Callan. Offices impacted were Delaware, NY, Texas, and Florida. Day after the earnings call. Classic.
