How can someone manage a situation where a senior colleague perceives them as a competitor rather than a collaborator, while maintaining professionalism and discretion?

Most of us over 50 have trouble getting offers because of ageism. Companies claim they want experience, then reject "overqualified" candidates again and again. My laid-off peers are: 1) removing early career dates 2) creating "consulting" personas 3)... — read more 

Trim keeps telling his story in the supermarket, wondering how he manages technology using supermarket's story and experience!!

Why revert to turning individual contributors into people managers when we previously shifted away from that model? Empower teams to self-organize and make decisions. Use async communication (e.g., shared docs, updates on platforms like Teams) for... — read more 

I wasted my time on useless promise of getting hired . I had to move out due to downsizing and struggling on visa now with no hire.

Anybody know what was this meeting about today?

Backstabbing’s a sport, managers lead with fear, and speaking up just paints a target on your back. No support, no trust. Just survival mode, day in and day out. This isn’t a culture, it’s a slow collapse.

Supring that no one posted on this till now. Managers have submitted 10% of their staff for rating 4 as requested by TR last week. Expect the cuts by Aug/Sept ?

Rumors of no offers going out currently in the US due to “pause” . Can anyone confirm?

Another big one is coming?

is that p;ossible? Or gotta be buddies with the hiring manager to even be considered?

His Thursday note today is most unlike his previous geriatric rambles. It's short, no reference to lessons he's learned from his family (only to some CEO) and frankly....devoid of any laughter material :( Hopefully Trim can provide some of that... — read more 

Is it allowed at Citi to accept an offer for one location but work from a different city, even if the team isn’t based there? if it’s officially allowed or needs some kind of approval

I read an interesting article for which the topic was also discussed on the news, about how AI decision making either rivals or exceeds consultant recommendations and implementations. The decisions cranked out are either equal to or better than most... — read more

where are your pearls of wisdom? Waiting for them!!

I recently heard some rumors from my colleague that risk department is going to have a big layoff? Can someone verify it? I am so nervous now.

Leadership keeps claiming that people are our greatest asset, but they constantly treat us like replaceable cogs. The dissonance would be funny if it didn’t hurt so much.

How long do offers take? Interviewed months ago and still in business review and can hit the withdrawal button still( thought that means still in consideration)? Recruiter said they should have updates soon and nothing yet

So, new to this but...kind of incompetent no?

Keep bringing in generalists from Risk instead of data SME's ...and I'm sure Citi will be able to solve all data problems this way
