Every time someone leaves, their work gets dumped on the rest of us. I'm currently getting pulled in a dozen directions, supporting people I don't even know, and my boss acts like everything is fine, business as usual. I know I should be grateful to... — read more 

Has anyone who was laid off on July 29 been contacted by HR with their numbers, agreement, and all that? Or are they just so understaffed that it still takes this long? I don’t have any contact info.

I had to get some papers and my sunglasses from my desk at 388 NYC today. Tapped in just after dawn, left and was home by 9am, that counts as a office day. I moved my mouse every 5-7mts or so from home and did virtually nothing today. I'll take off... — read more

There's life outside Citi, and it's good. You're worth more than they make you feel.

I can't remember the last time I felt calm at work. Every time my phone buzzes, I brace myself for bad news. Every meeting invite makes my stomach drop. I catch myself holding my breath during leadership emails. It's not just stress, it's a constant... — read more 

Am I safe in the next few rounds? Anyone has similar experience?

The lifting of consent order on Citibank by the OCC and the Federal Reserve this year is not quite a sure thing. That "90%" complete line from the C suite is more about checking the boxes and implementing controls, not actually achieving clean data.

Just head about the latest rounds of layoffs. Any word if Core Operations will be hit? Prayers up for anyone affected

Wouldn't surprise me if people start putting up a "Days since last layoff" posters on their walls. It's been that kind of year.

Has any HOP employee worked somewhere other than their home address? Did you ask and they allowed? Did you just do it and nothing happened?

I see that one of our key AI leaders/strategists Prag is jumping ship to another bank. Several other key tech leaders have left this last year and usually aren't been replaced by external talent. Is all this a bad sign?

Indian h1 lobby is worse in Tampa. All data science teams are spammed with them. They get all the promotions. They never recognize and care for anybody else. Rachel’s team is heavily dominated by them. I think the Indian lobby gives her a... — read more 

In my department of 25, at least 10 are actively interviewing. The rest are too tired or too scared to start.
