Citi has shallow, performative culture that makes you feel small for wanting to do actual meaningful work. No wonder things have ben getting worse all the time when our values are completely broken.

You’re looking at it wrong. I think Jane is a genius.

Layoff Targets
If your role is tagged to transformation make sure you to start searching for jobs now. I have received emails about my employees with roles tagged to it. I am wondering if the same will happen to consent order employees. I am betting it will.
