https://www.wsj.com/articles/jpmorgan-jeffrey-epstein-525febe3?mod=hp_lead_pos1 JPMorgan Chase & Co. had ties to Jeffrey Epstein that ran deeper than the bank has acknowledged and extended years beyond when it decided to close the convicted s-x... — read more
Anyone out there hear anything?
next round of layoff time frame?
Embarrasing…
CNBC had financial analysts speak about the current economic health of the country. Eventually the topic came around to the banking system. Out of of all the big boys, they listed Citi dead last when it came to buying Citi stock. They all agreed... — read more
Is RTO tracked and if so what is the impact?
Does your manager get report on the time in office? Do they need to discuss with the staff if below 3 days a week and marked somewhere? Is the policy same for technology hubs like Tampa or Irving?
Earnings coming up pretty soon
I am quite interested to find out the quarterly results ...
CIti seems like a sad place....full of trolls
Trolls have no life and belong under the bridge. They made a new D & D movie for you to watch
RTO is old school thinking.
Citi likes to fancy itself as edgy but RTO to build culture and relationships is old school thinking. Simply put, major talent looks elsewhere for employment when considering who to work for.
Genius move
From another post in regards to layoffs—“You’re looking at it all wrong. Its more important to give Jane an extra 2 million to up her pay to match some of her peers who are over other banks. We have an aggressive ESG initiative planned out. So to... — read more

Layoffs in tech last week
So I call into the help desk, which is no help at all, wait for days from a field tech to contact me. I don’t understand when the helpless help desk cannot help me, why they laid off a bunch of techs who can actually help but now can’t because they... — read more

I love the double standard alert.
Greedy and disloyal - -Employees who quit for higher salary. Brave and strategic - -CEO’s who layoff workers for higher profits. Classic.
AI is coming..you’re all fired.
Depending on which flavor you use, this bad boy is vetting code, scripts, business proposal, crunching numbers, outlining work flows, streamlining processes, investment decisions (robo investing has been out for a while now depending on the vendor)... — read more
Feeling that RTO woes.
I don’t want to go back to the life I had before. I’ve never been closer to my family thanks to the extra time I get to spend with them instead of commuting. I still work hard. I do my full hours and then some. And I’ve never been happier. I hate... — read more

Mandate: RTO 3 Days a week
I have decided to go to office when I can. I have early calls most mornings. I work with other leaders who refuse to go to the office and who have stated daring their managers to fire them. How can Citi apply RTO evenly and be consistent through... — read more
Employees Fired for Not Getting the Jab
Now that Citi has dropped the jab mandate, are any of the people who were fired for refusing to get it, being hired back? Suing the company?

Next 2 weeks
Next 2 weeks critical Expect more than the initial 1% may be 5% before the month is over. Probably lots in technology locations
Fear over nothing.
A few banks have gone under here and there, so what. Jane managed to grab another 2 million for herself and I’m sure there’s a rather secure safety net for her in case things take a turn for the worse. She’s going to be just fine. So you guys are... — read more
Any layoffs coming for the IT groups?
If so, who, what, when, where?
Applying for Jobs Internally
Anyone know if its possible to move up from a C12 to a C14?
Equal risk vs. ESG
I think layoffs need to be percentage based. If the Citi work force is 80% men and 20% women, then that should be the layoff percentage. If you need to layoff 100 people, then that layoff pool needs to be 80% men and 20% women. 8 males and 2... — read more
Layoff Targets/Methodology
Once a team has been identified to have RIFs, at Citi, is it common for layoff criteria to be primarily performance ratings? 4s get laid off first, then 3s, then 2s, then 1s? Or is it more about white males get let go first, then white females... — read more

Don't count on the pressure to ease up
Pressure won’t get any better. The impending recession will be used as a tool to make you take on more and more and more work with tighter and tighter deadlines. You’ll hear the implied “do it or else”. You’ll hear the all famous “times are tough... — read more
How much severance are people getting?
Area: Tech Tenure: 2.5y Package: 2 months paid + 4 months
Things appear to have settled
Very quiet here so things appear to be settled and back to normal
Burned out
That’s all. That’s the message. Not sure why I’m venting here. It’s the internet. But I feel lost and overwhelmed. Been at citi for 14 years. But now is particularly tough. I’m overworked but I put stuff off, drop the ball on items, not interested in... — read more
Recession layoff but still hiring, sorta odd.
So each company lays off to show financial responsibility. Company A lays off and company B lays off. Each one opens up positions to fill what they laid off. Company A and Company B just ends up trading employees. Each company claims we are... — read more
