Still experiencing payroll issues?

I was overpaid for one additional week on 4/6. I'm told they will not deduct this from a future check, and that I will eventually be sent a docusign document to repay the overpayment. They deducted an additional week of 401k deductions, too. I'm waiting to hear how they will address this since you can't just take money from this account without tax implications.

Is anyone else still having issues with payroll???


Finance Layoffs

They are laying off a bunch of of AR and AP people along with several people in accounting. Oddly a bunch of the same roles are now open as well. Not sure if they're planning to eventually outsource but the new leadership is also particularly obsessed with cutting costs even while the company is growing and doesn't care one bit about morale (or lack thereof) in the company. I think maybe a dozen people have been impacted.


MF has literally cheated us of ESPP gains this time

Looks to be a well coordinated strategy to push earnings call to March 31. The drop in share prices is almost 15% now, wiping out any gains on ESPP.

This is as pathetic as it gets, no need to invest in ESPP going forward if this is how cheap this company is going to get to.

MF is literally MF.


Major Financial Companies Reduce NJ Workforce

Several financial firms announced layoffs in New Jersey during March. These cuts total 409 positions across multiple companies. Prudential Financial, Fiserv Solutions, UBS, and JPMorgan Chase were impacted. These layoffs contribute to a broader surge of job cuts nationwide.

Nike Stock - Feels Bad Man

If you had invested $1000 in nike stock back in 2015, you would have about $1000 now.

If you had bought $1000 of Nike back in 2015 and sold at the peak in 2021 you would have had roughly $3673.

If you invested $1000 in Apple stock in 2015, you would have $8,233 now.

If you invested $1000 in Amazon stock in 2015, you would have $12,000 now.

If you invested $1000 in Tesla stock in 2015, you would have $27,692 now.

If you invested $1000 in Nvidia in 2015, you would have $347,916 now.


Golden Parachute

SB didn't get what he deserved, quite the opposite.

He has a golden parachute, which only pays out reliably IF/WHEN the company isn't in CH 7 or 11. Parachutes get trimmed down, and sometimes eliminated entirely in bankruptcy.

They didn't throw him out a window, they put him in a life raft. He'll get paid out, and after that, look for CH11. IF anyone here read up on his nonsense agreement and knows what the payout timeline is, please chime in. That is a good indicator of when they might be filing.


401k match

Public service announcement - if you were laid off in 2025, you should still receive the company 401k match. It was contributed to accounts on March 13, 2026. Check your 401k accounts to confirm. Also, if you were contributing to the Citi company stock fund through the 401k, you should still be able to vote for shareholder resolutions related to the annual stockholder meeting held during the 2nd quarter, so keep an eye out for that proxy communication.


Does This Proposed Agreement Protect Retirees From Financial Ruin?

I have a concern regarding the tentative agreement in the Northeast.
I realize we paid a heavy price in 1989 and, as a result of that sacrifice, were able to keep essentially cost-free medical benefits for the next two-and-a-half decades.
However, uncertain economic times in 2016 resulted in us, fairly or not, shouldering more of the burden, not only the men and women that had 20, 25, 30, 35... years on the job under their belt already, but also the retirees now had to unexpectedly pony up and adjust to this new and unexpected financial burden on a fixed income based on earlier reasonable expectations and assumptions, if I understand correctly.
I am now hearing murmurings about about retiree healthcare skyrocketing, from, say, $60 a month to 10X that amount, $600 a month, for example. I hope these rumors are wrong and that I am needlessly worrying about something that will never come to be.
Are there any guarantees built into this new tentative agreement that shield both our current retirees, as well as those that will eventually be joining their ranks, from the future uncertainty of exorbitant increases that will make affordability a larger hurdle, if not an impossibility, for the elderly who served their union and their company well?


Finance Sheet Show

Finance is now a complete joke. Management does not know the inefficiency of these endless forecasts, scorecards, and endless requests on a daily basis. This new op model is half baked at best. They know not, nor care about the chaos they created and how much work it will take us to unravel and produce these on a regular basis. F it. F them. F this new op model. Whether or not this sh-t show is by design to make us quit is irrelevant. It is completely unsustainable and we will be forced to quit for our own sanity. Most of our time is spent trying to get clarity and not on value added work. What a waste of time. People at the top should be held accountable.
