January 22 . . .
I think it’s most irritating they could not begin it any sooner, and do we take “medium term” to mean the trimming will go on until March 31…for years to come?
Tidy 1.8bln Q4 loss ..
Well done, Jane!

Welp. Waiting to hear my fate
15 months at Citi and awaiting to hear my fate. Sh-t su-ks a-s.
Question
I am wondering, as a relatively new joiner, will HR take into account the full background/CV of the person when taking the decision to sack? Or only time spent at Citi?

Job hunting but no response whatsoever - is it me or the job market is incredibly bad at the moment
Glad that I found this site. I am based in London, and this is the first time I have experienced this. Usually, I will receive calls from recruiters shortly after I set my LinkedIn profile to "open to work, actively searching". But I have been... — read more
Cut HR, what do that they do that AI could not?
You gotta cut the people, sure, do your thing, why not but also cut HR. Throw them into the mix. We already have an HR chatbot, HR is removed. We already have a system that parses resume’s for key words, another thing that HR is removed from. ... — read more

Who determines your overall rating?
Is it your manager or your manager's manager? H/r? How do they determine who gets what rating? I know a few who received 3s when I feel they should have received 2s. I know some who received 2s when I feel they should have received 3s. How is it... — read more
How do you handle your line manager who uses any excuses to pick on you.
I have never experienced this in other companies. I guess he just does not like me. I have good relationship with my stakeholders and other team members.
Do the bare minimum until your time here is up
Since we're not being laid off based on merit, do yourself a favor and do the bare minimum until your time here is up. I think it's safe to say that the majority of us realize that Citi is not the best place to build your career, so there's no need... — read more
Citi no longer least loved stock.

Brutal next week
Since earnings announcement is next Friday, have a feeling it’s going to get nasty bc analysts will definitely ask about “headcount” and I think last time they asked, Jane or mark said we won’t know until next quarter aka this Friday.
Layoffs clarification
Because I see lots of misinformation here: I have been through restructuring at another large US bank: I was contacted by the senior ED of the team and he shared that I will be moved to a different sub-team. My manager was aware but was not on... — read more
Is this silly to resign now?
I am on my last leg. I am very competent with my job but the leadership is so toxic and every day is soul crashing. My colleague advise me to wait a couple of months but I am not sure if the suffer is worth it. Seeking advice and thank you.
Irony
Logged into my virtual desktop today and realized - aaa it is much faster now, Citi have installed new CPUs for us. But then I saw that the CPU was running at 50+% constantly - and then checked and realized they also installed a mouse/app tracking... — read more

What does 3, 4, 4 rating mean?
Overall what does 3, 4, 4 rating means? Is client and franchise outcomes considered in the overall rating? And does this means overall 4 rating?
Citi has turned into a toxic workplace
We have to deal with an unhealthy, stressful environment every day. Layoffs are starting to look like the better option at this point.
End of the year review - who can see it?
Hi guys, Just wondering, when you apply for internal jobs, will the new hiring manager see the rating and comments made by your old manager? Thank you very much.
