I remember in the past hearing from several different managers and even having one myself saying all the time two things: ) If you don’t like it, leave ) There are tons of people out there willing to take your place. They’d squeeze that... — read more
Citi is garbage
Discuss.
It seems like there’s a rather large talent shortage.
The “Great resignation” seems to have left the company short on talented employees. There doesn’t seem to be any incentives to retain talent that works. You can tell that this adversely impacts aggressive deadlines. Trying to draw in new talent... — read more
Are managers just not engaged?
I spoke to a manager to team up and tackle new things, I got the proverbial "let me look into it and get back to you" 60 days later...and I am still waiting...are managers that aloof in Citi? Have also had the IM ghosting treatment with a guy... — read more
How long does it take to get an offer
With Citibank? I did well on the interviews, and had a chat with h/r regarding salary compensation, and start date about a week ago, and haven't heard anything back since. No response to follow ups. How long did it take before you were offered an... — read more
My friend left for a smaller pay
My former colleague left and accepted a job at a company where he is paid less. I know another person who made the same decision a little earlier. What's going on here? Will people start leaving Citi at all costs, just to not be a part of this mess... — read more
There will be no layoffs because people are fed up and resigning in droves
They figured out it's better to make the working conditions so bad that everybody will want to quit than to constantly have to lay off people and pay them severance in the process. It's a win/win for Citi every time somebody gives in their notice... — read more
So woke you can’t function….
There were some college professors who before each class passed out a class survey that listed the class topics to discuss for that day. If anyone checked off on the survey that they felt offended or uncomfortable with the topic, that topic was not... — read more
Stress is astronomical
The stress is huge. Employees are expected to do more than ever. Managers are not very interested in whether such demands are realistic or not. They are only interested in the end result. I am starting to wonder whether a job with so much stress is... — read more
I’m interviewing with Citi
So I’m interviewing with Citi but after seeing so many posts here on layoff it sounds like Citi is worse than Wellsfargo where I am now. I have a good boss currently and in a good team but I just don’t like the work I’m doing and hence started... — read more
Citi book value??? A decent dividend?? Rise in stock??? When???
After 7 years, I’m not impressed. Sorta old choking on the dust of the other banks as they leave us behind.
Are you kidding me? Citi to pay for travel for staff seeking ab-----ns….
What in the Sam heck is going on here? And people wonder why the world keeps be worse and worse by the day. https://news.yahoo.com/citi-cover-travel-expenses-u-145324689.html
Team of 20 no more.
I am on a team of 12 people and every single one is looking elsewhere for employment. Actively sharing job postings, networking outside of work, adding each other as peer referrals. All for the same reason, they have no hope for the future. Only... — read more
BREAKING - BUSINESS: Citigroup to halt all operations in Russia
There you have it
Now's the best time to leave
If you don't mind not working from home, there are so many opportunities. So many are leaving banks due to RTO for remote positions and very few are applying for the jobs left vacant. With so few applicants, the banks are desperate for people who... — read more

Citi discloses 9 billion in Russia exposure

There is no vision, there is no future
For me, I’m outta here. I’ve seen nothing but a path of chaos and destruction for the past 5 years. I’ve been rated a top performer for the past 4 years but I see nothing but dread before me. There is no vision, there is no future. All management... — read more
Attrition root cause
People don't leave because they don't have free stuff, they leave because they can recognise the difference between a good culture and a bad one. Meetings for no other reason than to have meetings for political posturing or a bragging point of “I... — read more
Rare opportunity for Citi….
Rather than require people to go back into the office since gas is so high now, Citi has the perfect opportunity to do what’s right and offset the rising costs by letting the people choose to work from home. Assuming of course the role allows it. ... — read more
Good news
Guys and gals, there’s a lot of posts out there really slamming Citi hard. I have to admit most of the concerns are valid. Given the negative sentiment and\or environment, use it as fuel. There are a TON of jobs out there to accommodate just about... — read more
I can't wait to get back to the office
so that I only work for 8 hours, unlike now that I work for almost 10-11 hours. I think Citi will regret returning employees to the office after seeing how much productivity will fall.
Hopeful no more…
There’s always been hope and drive, almost to the point of being what they call a koolaid drinker. I admit, I’ve not heard that phrase in a long time until I started watching this board. After months of reading the posts here versus internal... — read more
Why is the hiring process so long?
Is it because of the pandemic? I have submitted applications, gone on several interviews and with several companies and it takes months to hear back from anyone if you're even going to the second round!
Sick Time
Has anyones manager told them that their unit does not take sick time and you should instead go to the Doctor on the weekend or after work? Also has anyone manager told them if you’re remote and feeling sick you should still work because you’re not... — read more
Citi Return to office in March all US sites.

The beatings will commence until moral improves.
Corporate demand of blind loyalty no matter how bad you’re treated or overworked you are, is becoming a dying dinosaur. I’ve always thought it was weird that you are so bought into the corp buzz word rhetoric that “this is the best place ever to be... — read more
The Great Burnout
From NYT, links below: At Citi, according to New York magazine, an analyst typed “I hate this job, I hate this bank, I want to jump out the window” in a chat, prompting human resources to check on his mental health. “This is a consensus opinion,”... — read more
I Though It Was Me
To all the Citi folks who are on here, THANK YOU for sharing your stories and exposing the truth. Coming into Citi as a young person, I was emotionally hazed by my entire department and I thought it was because I was doing something wrong. I took the... — read more
How much overwork can one person handle?
I guess Citi is counting on employees being insecure, hesitant, and reluctant to start over. Whenever someone leaves, I get more and more work. I'm on the verge of giving notice. My question is how overwhelmed with work are you? How big is your... — read more
Citi can't expect loyalty from us
Loyalty is earned not demanded. Company loyalty went out the window long long ago. Since we are all treated as a commodity, an asset to be traded or discarded at will for any or no reason, then my loyalty is only as good as my last paycheck. Earn... — read more
Can we get back on topic for a moment, please?
Can anybody share any layoffs info, if there is any?
Going back to the office?
I for one, do not plan to return as long as COVID is still bad enough that we have to wear masks and test 3 times a week. Where do they come up with these dates anyway? I'd rather face disciplinary action than an intubation. And yes, I am vaxed... — read more
I did not expect such a reaction
I can no longer stand this place and the lack of respect I experience here daily so I gave notice. Just a few more days to endure here. Honestly, I didn't expect any reaction, I thought that Citi didn't care who left, but it wasn't like that. The... — read more

anyone catch that type on Jane's town hall?
I deserve respect
I don't expect the company to care about me, I don't live in a delusion that we're all "one big, happy family." What I do expect is to be treated with respect. To be paid adequately for the work I provide and to be treated like a human being by my... — read more
Thank God Jane is taken care of. I was worried for a moment that she would not be paid a lot for overall lackluster performance.
So glad she gets a 32% increase. Whew….I can rest better now. Citigroup Chief Executive Jane Fraser will take home total compensation of $22.5 million for 2021 — a nearly 32% increase from the previous... — read more
Citi is a dump
Either you don't know what you don't know, but open your eyes people, Citi is a horrendous laggard of a company that should have been allowed to fail in 2008. Such a dysfunctional mess of a company. Stay clear of this incompetence haven.
Downtrodden and leaving
I’ve got a ton of friends spanning all sectors. From talking to them and comparing to Citi, I’ve never heard of such a company as Citi that is so willing to over zealously marginalize BAU efforts. What I find funny is that “if you don’t make money... — read more
