My former colleague left and accepted a job at a company where he is paid less. I know another person who made the same decision a little earlier. What's going on here? Will people start leaving Citi at all costs, just to not be a part of this mess anymore?

Agreed.
No one professional talks like that. Then again, the trolling substantiates that as well.
And still getting paid more money!!! WHOOT!!! WHOOT!!!
Coolaid drinker Rule #1. Without any reserved questions work through lunch, take no breaks, work at least one weekend day
Coolaid drinker Rule #2: .Expect no extra pay so that the company, not you, can benefit more.
We are glad you left too interesting as you are still complaining. Mustn't be too busy at the next gig either ....
I don’t put in 50-60 hours per day anymore because…..oh yeah, that’s right….I left for another company with more money and ONLY requires 40 hrs per week as their anti-sweat shop policy.
“ People who routinely put in 60 only have themselves to blame for it.”
- Not true. You could have a bad manager that requires it or your team so small with so much work coming in with tight deadlines you have no choice but to work long hours at the risk of “not being able to rise to the challenge” sweat shop mentality that affects your overall year end performance. For me I’m in a good group NOW but have been subject to both situations previously so, no, your statement is not necessarily true.
People who routinely put in 60 only have themselves to blame for it. You don't have to do that on a regular basis. Look around you. There are SO many who are doing their time and clocking out. They're onto something. Don't let your own personal work habits make the company out to be the villain. They will definitely take everything you'll give... but it's you who is allowing it. Work your hours, then sign out.
Have they really? Think about it.
If you divide your pay by the hours worked, who really comes out ahead?
If they moved somewhere else for less $ but also much less hours compared to Citi, say a 40 hour work week instead of the Citi standard of 60, you may find that they make equal or more per hour.
