has anyone seen any info on whether our company will support pre-tax contributions to the new Trump Account, like up to $2,500 pre-tax, similar to a 401k? I haven’t seen any official communication from HR yet, so just wondering if anyone’s heard... — read more 

Shortly to be followed with a meeting from higher ups or JF of “well we had some tough decisions to make but we are on track.” It’ll happen cross regions, cross groups. Good luck.

My last working day with Citi was 06/30, non-working notice period is 7/1-8/29. So far still haven't received the shipping box to return the company property. Can anyone share how soon do people who get laid off receiving the shipping box after the... — read more 

If you had to describe Citi in just a couple of words, what would they be? I've got a feeling I know what the majority will be.

I'd be fine with layoffs if they actually targeted the right people. But it's never been about performance. The best workers keep getting let go.

In Citi Tampa only h1bs get promoted to SVPs or Directors. Even HR doesn’t care…

Citi logged about $800 million in severance expenses in the first half of the year and may set aside more for the second half, executives said Tuesday. The New York-based lender had about 219,000 employees as of the second quarter, down about 5%... — read more

I was terminated after failing PIP on July 1. Getting paid for another 30 days. When do I file for unemployment? After paycheck stops or immediately?

Being constantly told to teach and utilise AI and clearly being told it soon will replace employees, why are employees not striking?

I'm wondering when we'll shift back to growing the business instead of just cutting people. I know the answer is probably "never," but a guy can hope.

I had target on my back since I went on parental leave. They laid me off stating AI restructuring. I see that they posted th1e same role including title 6 months later within same state another site. I do not have documentation on anything other... — read more 

Any information?

Do you think we will see layoffs this year? Or is the only way out to quit? With all the work there is I can’t imagine there will be any layoffs. They’re even taking work from other locations and need to hire. Even AI is causing more work.

Any confirmed layoffs coming in September or sooner. Spill the beans.

For those who have received their payment, what was your timeline like to receive your compensation based on your last day of employment?

What are some unhinged things you get away with when working remote? Something on the keypad to keep you active on teams? Never opening teams/ email all day? Taking a maternity leave every year? For those who have quiet quitted drop your tips below

Just advice to decision makers lurking, cut directors that are useless instead of cutting low paid employees getting the job done…. There you go saved you some consultant fees.

Tampa data science team is the worst team to work for. Modus operandi is to promote h1b friends and treat citizens and residents as sh-t. If you want to get into a sh-t hole get in here.

Citi is doing good financially. It might cull the contractors and some extra fats acquired during the consent order program. Hardly 500-1000 employees will be max affected. On the other hand its time for promotions for lots of VP to SVP and SVP's to... — read more

We’ve officially trained our replacements. Now we are sitting here with no work just answering questions they have, if any. It’s getting harder each day to wait this out.

I can't understand how some people can keep so calm and almost ignore everything that's been happening. I guess it's a case of "if it didn't happen to me, it's not an issue." Until it does happen to them. But I guess I'm the id--t for trying to warn... — read more 

Really wondering how these high cost locations are going to exist if we can’t hire and keep letting people go?? Like what is going to be the point of the Tampa, NJ, or NYC locations if we can’t use them??

What is the point of keeping SVP+ ICs in high cost locations while full teams are being laid off ? What is their exact contribution?

We have been informed today that OB team located in Abu Dhabi is being moved to another hub so we all are let go :(

Had a “business update” meeting. Gave essentially no information, saying layoff coming but not saying who or when. Just to expect trainings with offshore. This was weird as it involved a few different teams and they suggested that some teams will... — read more

That’s all. That’s the post.

CITI just celebrated its 100-year presence in Germany! How does your country handle these kinds of major corporate centennials?

Can someone recommend an employment lawyer to help with severance issue? Preferably from past experience.

Too many managers got promoted for being good workers, not for knowing how to lead. At least teach them some people skills before putting them in charge of actual people.
