Thread regarding Citigroup Inc. / Citibank / Citi layoffs

Oh now - the evil company paying your 6 figure salary and providing great benefits is making you go into the office? If you actually understand the economics of "why" RTO is a thing you wouldn't be belly aching about the horrible executive leadership. I get a laugh at how absolutely ridiculously spoiled some of the people are who post here about having to sit in an office and work. What you should be doing is making as much as you can as quick as you can for the next 5 years because your function is quickly coming to an end. You will be begging to come back into an office once the jobs are gone.

Does your team have a 5 day wio? Care to share which location you are in?

They remodeled our place and it’s all crowded, and people in meetings as if they’re doing a presentation to a whole auditorium, very loud. And nobody is respecting the booked seats! They should get rid of that because those of us following it have nowhere to seat. Our booked seat is taken and the empty seats show booked in the app.

Just coffee badge

I am as unproductive at home as I am in the office but nobody notices at 388. Make clicky noises every now and then to keep the screen alive. Or step offiine to read (and hope) for the latest here. Remarkable. Friday payday right?

Then you get the ones who are purely doing presenteisim. Look at me I’m in the office so busy. They give you dirty looks for going for a coffee yet they’re sitting there doing no work. They spend there days looking at bathroom taps and holidays, With their heads containing nothing more than a vacuum. Of course they’ve been promoted their heads are so far up there managers (MDs) ar-e they don’t know what way to turn to get out. Then there’s the ones who sit beside the site MD to kiss ar-e. They get them coffee, sausage rolls and tray bakes to soften them worship them get a promotion then they abandon them once they’ve got what they want that elusive promotion competent staff can’t get. It’s always the ar-e licks. I applaud them for playing a game most decent human beings wouldn’t stoop too. Management think we don’t see what’s going on, but they’re d-mber than a bag of bricks. Always approachable but with a habit of looking away or down at there feet when you walk past, because to them your a steaming lump of dog sh!te!!

I feel the same. I'm more productive at home and can't stand the people I work with, just a bunch of people pleasing twatwaffles that yell on zoom calls so we can all hear how important they are. The one thing I hope happens is that AI allows the majority of the business at my site goes away and they can shutter those operations, sending those of us that actually work all home. They did it in Roy, UT and those folks are loving it.

@OP read an article that coworkers trust Claude and ChatGPT more than the team which reduces collaboration even while in the office.

I have noticed that the ones "active and collaborating" in office are the political points scorers who suffered when fully remote. They cannot function without gossip sessions and fake busyness as they aren't actually good at their job. The rest of us, we just want to do our job and go home, we aren't here to play games have fake connections. Before, we used to pretend but now we just dgaf.

I actually watch and laugh to myself at these office lovers trying so hard!

Today I listened to two women complain for 1.5hrs about a coworker based in NAM. Super productive.
