Laid off?

Hi there! I'm a business journalist working with Bank Automation News, and I'm looking into the wave of layoffs that has recently hit many major banks, including Citigroup. If you were laid off in Citi's last round of cuts and would be interesting in... — read more

Layoffs under the radar

I haven't heard of anyone being laid off, but people here write that layoffs are happening in some departments under the radar. Can anyone provide more information?

Embarrasing…

CNBC had financial analysts speak about the current economic health of the country. Eventually the topic came around to the banking system. Out of of all the big boys, they listed Citi dead last when it came to buying Citi stock. They all agreed... — read more 

Is RTO tracked and if so what is the impact?

Does your manager get report on the time in office? Do they need to discuss with the staff if below 3 days a week and marked somewhere? Is the policy same for technology hubs like Tampa or Irving?

RTO is old school thinking.

Citi likes to fancy itself as edgy but RTO to build culture and relationships is old school thinking. Simply put, major talent looks elsewhere for employment when considering who to work for.

Genius move

From another post in regards to layoffs—“You’re looking at it all wrong. Its more important to give Jane an extra 2 million to up her pay to match some of her peers who are over other banks. We have an aggressive ESG initiative planned out. So to... — read more

Layoffs in tech last week

So I call into the help desk, which is no help at all, wait for days from a field tech to contact me. I don’t understand when the helpless help desk cannot help me, why they laid off a bunch of techs who can actually help but now can’t because they... — read more 

Wfh policy at Citi Private Bank in NYC?

I’m considering applying for a job at Citi PB in NYC, does anyone currently work there and know what their policy is re WFH? I heard citi is still largely hybrid, but don’t know what exactly that means and how enforced it is. Any insight is... — read more 

I love the double standard alert.

Greedy and disloyal - -Employees who quit for higher salary. Brave and strategic - -CEO’s who layoff workers for higher profits. Classic.

AI is coming..you’re all fired.

Depending on which flavor you use, this bad boy is vetting code, scripts, business proposal, crunching numbers, outlining work flows, streamlining processes, investment decisions (robo investing has been out for a while now depending on the vendor)... — read more 

Feeling that RTO woes.

I don’t want to go back to the life I had before. I’ve never been closer to my family thanks to the extra time I get to spend with them instead of commuting. I still work hard. I do my full hours and then some. And I’ve never been happier. I hate... — read more

Mandate: RTO 3 Days a week

I have decided to go to office when I can. I have early calls most mornings. I work with other leaders who refuse to go to the office and who have stated daring their managers to fire them. How can Citi apply RTO evenly and be consistent through... — read more 

Next 2 weeks

Next 2 weeks critical Expect more than the initial 1% may be 5% before the month is over. Probably lots in technology locations

Fear over nothing.

A few banks have gone under here and there, so what. Jane managed to grab another 2 million for herself and I’m sure there’s a rather secure safety net for her in case things take a turn for the worse. She’s going to be just fine. So you guys are... — read more 

Equal risk vs. ESG

I think layoffs need to be percentage based. If the Citi work force is 80% men and 20% women, then that should be the layoff percentage. If you need to layoff 100 people, then that layoff pool needs to be 80% men and 20% women. 8 males and 2... — read more 

Layoff Targets/Methodology

Once a team has been identified to have RIFs, at Citi, is it common for layoff criteria to be primarily performance ratings? 4s get laid off first, then 3s, then 2s, then 1s? Or is it more about white males get let go first, then white females... — read more 

Recession ebb and flow

The ebb and flow is as this. Recession hits and jobs get scarce. Management knows this so they leverage these times to really crack the whip. Team meetings will be peppered with implications of “work hard, longer and more often” “there’s plenty of... — read more 

Don't count on the pressure to ease up

Pressure won’t get any better. The impending recession will be used as a tool to make you take on more and more and more work with tighter and tighter deadlines. You’ll hear the implied “do it or else”. You’ll hear the all famous “times are tough... — read more 

Burned out

That’s all. That’s the message. Not sure why I’m venting here. It’s the internet. But I feel lost and overwhelmed. Been at citi for 14 years. But now is particularly tough. I’m overworked but I put stuff off, drop the ball on items, not interested in... — read more 

Recession layoff but still hiring, sorta odd.

So each company lays off to show financial responsibility. Company A lays off and company B lays off. Each one opens up positions to fill what they laid off. Company A and Company B just ends up trading employees. Each company claims we are... — read more
