What are some unhinged things you get away with when working remote? Something on the keypad to keep you active on teams? Never opening teams/ email all day? Taking a maternity leave every year? For those who have quiet quitted drop your tips below
Cut down Useless Directors
Just advice to decision makers lurking, cut directors that are useless instead of cutting low paid employees getting the job done…. There you go saved you some consultant fees.
Tampa Data Science
Tampa data science team is the worst team to work for. Modus operandi is to promote h1b friends and treat citizens and residents as sh-t. If you want to get into a sh-t hole get in here.
Its time for promotions and not layoffs
Citi is doing good financially. It might cull the contractors and some extra fats acquired during the consent order program. Hardly 500-1000 employees will be max affected. On the other hand its time for promotions for lots of VP to SVP and SVP's to... — read more
Consulting companies - Wipro, TCS, LTIMindtree...
Is more caste coming? More OPT EAD, H1B, L1, H4 EAD hiring and less American jobs. Enjoy!
Any meetings today?
Trying to figure out which Wednesday of the month will be the day. I know my time is coming close. We had our warn meeting in March and were told close to 6-8 months but that was followed by “the c in citi…” India is already doing our job, we... — read more
VOE
I’ve probably done at least 10 VOE’s and they always said it was anonymous and I truly believe it is because the last five I have absolutely trashed management with the lowest possible score 🤣🤣🤣. And I’ve asked to be laid off for the last three years... — read more
Just sitting here answering questions
We’ve officially trained our replacements. Now we are sitting here with no work just answering questions they have, if any. It’s getting harder each day to wait this out.
Half my team thinks I'm being dramatic about all the layoff talk
I can't understand how some people can keep so calm and almost ignore everything that's been happening. I guess it's a case of "if it didn't happen to me, it's not an issue." Until it does happen to them. But I guess I'm the id--t for trying to warn... — read more
High cost location layoffs
Really wondering how these high cost locations are going to exist if we can’t hire and keep letting people go?? Like what is going to be the point of the Tampa, NJ, or NYC locations if we can’t use them??
SVP + Individual Contributors in High Cost Locations
What is the point of keeping SVP+ ICs in high cost locations while full teams are being laid off ? What is their exact contribution?
Whole team is gone!
We have been informed today that OB team located in Abu Dhabi is being moved to another hub so we all are let go :(
Layoffs incoming
Had a “business update” meeting. Gave essentially no information, saying layoff coming but not saying who or when. Just to expect trainings with offshore. This was weird as it involved a few different teams and they suggested that some teams will... — read more
Quitting week 1
Can I quit in 1 week? Do I need to give a notice? It is really horrible here. My manager might make me do 2 weeks. Really crazy person
Trade Preclearance once you're let go
Typical Citi, their FAQ to fired employees says you still have to receive trade preclearance while on Garden leave. But when you call compliance they have no idea how to preclear you because you're no longer in the system and HR just sends an auto... — read more
Everything wrong with Citi leadership summed up
Recent LinkedIn slop post by Mike Whitaker that perfectly explains why the Citi MDs that have no clue get the seats that they have: “Nobody is going to manage your career for you. I wish someone had told me that in 1980 when I walked into NatWest... — read more
Citi bought canada office
They're spending money on real estate
All KYC and Central Banker account opening being offshores
We were unexpectedly pulled into a team meeting by our C13 yesterday, which was unusual. After the 50% layoff on June 10, we were informed that the layoffs are not finished. The remaining members of our team are expected to be let go sometime within... — read more
Sc--w this place
That’s all. That’s the post.
100-year presence in Germany
CITI just celebrated its 100-year presence in Germany! How does your country handle these kinds of major corporate centennials?
Employment lawyer?
Can someone recommend an employment lawyer to help with severance issue? Preferably from past experience.
Promote better
Too many managers got promoted for being good workers, not for knowing how to lead. At least teach them some people skills before putting them in charge of actual people.
DEI Layoffs?
I wonder if any DEI department employees were let go.
Remote vs Hybrid
The B levels in my dept all got fully remote status a year ago. And the C levels got an increase from 2 to 3 days in office. Anyone know why this is? I thought at some point C levels would get remote status too.
I'm hoping there are layoffs this week
I'm so over feeling overwhelming dread every Sunday. Give me severance and I'll happily leave. Even being unemployed would be better for my mental health than this constant torture.
Share your feedback on AI adoption in your project
Our is going no where fast. Promised returns and automation delayed. We always seem to be getting different results from the same prompt. Still. AML part is going to be pushed live, fake it til you make it right?
Can I be fire for looking for another role?
With all the doubt around the campus I sent my resume for a role. Turns out the role, through an agency, is with my team and the agent sent my resume to my manager. She wants to meet me Monday, can I be fired for looking for other work in this time... — read more
Tampa layoffs mid July
MD let’s slip on a call Friday that there are layoffs coming mid July. What are you guys hearing?
I've survived twelve months of nonstop bad news
I joined Citi in July last year, and since then it's been nothing but cuts, stress, increases in workload, and a plethora of other issues. Every time I thought it was over, something else happened. Is it always going to be like this? What are the... — read more
Any idea about redundancies/layoffs at London?
I joined Citibank London very recently. Just last week my director announced that they’re leaving the team as part of a new org structure and our team will be reporting to a new director. I’m worried if this could be a prelude to layoffs. Does... — read more
How does the WARN notice take affect if I lived in NY for 3 months then moved to NJ.
What if its the summer equinox after the mid year election on a Tues and I’m on vacation leave. If they send out a notice on a Wednesday before that Tues. how am I affected? Do I get extra pay or am I penalized? I’ve read the handbook and I don’t... — read more

If I worked in Texas for 3/4 of the year, then move to NY and am on the list to be let go, do I get a WARN notice?
Even if I’ve not worked in NY for a full year.
90 Day WARN Period
The documentation says that I will notify Citi if I find a new job during notice period, and that they will pay the balance in a lump sum. Does that basically mean you get the balance of what is left of the 90 Days' notice period, but you lose... — read more
I’m in NY and am worried about being let go but I want to be prepared.
What’s the WARN notice? How does it pertain to being let go?
Got put on a PIP recently
How sc--wed am I?
I think the most recent round of layoffs confirmed what many of us suspected
Citi is on a path of steady decline. It will keep shedding employees, it will keep shrinking until there's barely anything left of what once was. And then even that small remaining piece will collapse and take whoever is still there with it. So... — read more
