Is Citi so desperate?

I really can’t believe whom Citi appoints to managerial positions. Is Citi so desperate that it cannot appoint someone with more experience and knowledge? It's a shame that people are in positions that far exceed their competencies.

Options, don’t forget you have some.

Post of job dissatisfaction, low wages, no bonuses, back to the office work and so forth. All that aside, you do have options. Tons of search engines even have a built in filter for full time remote work. There are lots of jobs out there that not... — read more

Back in the office fun

So...I am back in the office, never realized how smelly my coworkers are. It gets worse at lunchtime when I get a smell of canned tuna or some ethnic dish.

Past versus the present

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 

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 

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 

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 

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

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 

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
