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.

Those with skills will always have options.

If you’re in tech all is not lost, gloom and doom and all that jazz. There are other companies out there outside of finance and banking that also use AD, exchange, sharepoint, SQL, firewalls, linux, unix, routers, switches, vm’s etc….

Citi is not the only company on the planet that ever uses these things.
Finance is not the only sector on the planet that ever uses these things.

Expand your job search as this ship is sinking. It’s always mystified me that people will job search with only the big banks and call it a day, “there’s nothing out there and I know that as I searched the big 3 banks and didn’t find anything. No use to look any further elsewhere. I guess I’m just stuck at Citi.”


Block Cuts Colorado Jobs Due to AI Automation

Block initiated layoffs affecting its workforce. Sixty-one Colorado jobs were specifically cut. These reductions are attributed to AI-driven automation. The company is also laying off thousands nationwide. Block predicts this trend is the start of a larger wave of automation layoffs.

Jack Dorsey's BLOCK Axes Nearly Half of its Workforce in One Day

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/yourmoney/article-15597141/jack-dorsey-block-layoffs-ai.html

"Jack Dorsey has axed thousands of workers at Block, the parent company of Cash App, Square and Afterpay, in a move signaling a major shift toward artificial intelligence.

In a note to staff, Dorsey explained that Block would be taking on risk by investing in 'intelligence tools,' as the company cut more than 4,000 employees on Thursday:

  • "today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone."

The company said workers affected by the layoffs will receive 20 weeks of pay, in addition to an extra week's salary for every year they worked at the company.

Those let go will also keep their corporate devices, receive stock benefits through the end of May, six months of health coverage, and a $5,000 payment to help them through the transition.

Employees outside the US will be offered similar packages, though details will vary by country, the statement said.

All employees were told they would be informed the same day whether they were being laid off, entering consultation, or keeping their jobs.

Block's shares surged 24 percent following the announcement of the layoffs, according to CNN."


Skydoesn'twork

"Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) faces challenges with declining revenue and rising costs" (correct) "but is still positioned to benefit from the growing demand in the radio frequency industry" (really?)
The stock performance speaks for itself, two losers don't make a winner, do they?

Finance ops external job posting

Finance ops has an external job posting for a credit and collections analyst. Really? Just months after layoffs? The job description says to resolve billing and payment disputes. Can this not be done by AI or competent management? Does the executive leadership not have any prior operations experience that got this approved? Vz needs efficiency and value. Not more inefficient army building with overlap and chaos which directly caused the need for layoffs in the first place. Does Dan know people are posting external manual processing roles just months after layoffs???
